animals and children (inside a protective
fence, if required)
• with the solar panel facing true south in
the northern hemisphere and true north in
the southern hemisphere.
Mounting the energizer
The energizer may be placed directly onto a flat
surface or mounted directly onto a steel Y-post
or T-post using the post-mounting slot.
It can also be mounted onto a wooden post
using two galvanized flat-head nails and two
galvanized washers.
To mount onto a wooden post:
1 Thread a washer onto each nail.
2 Space the nails
75 mm (3") apart
(or one nail
length).
3 Hammer in the
nails, allowing
them to protrude by 10 mm (3/8").
4 Slide the energizer onto the nails with the
washers inside the post-mounting slot.
Connecting to an electric fence
1 Push a 1 m (3') earth rod fully into firm
soil.
2 Connect the green lead from the Fence
earth terminal
earthing system.
3 Connect the red lead from the Fence
output terminal
fence. Make sure there is a good contact.
Caution!
Make sure the connecting leads drop
downwards from the energizer to prevent water
from collecting at the terminals.

Operation
Switching on and off
1 To switch on, press and hold
pulse indicator light gives one long flash
(one second).
2 To switch off, press and hold
pulse indicator light gives five short
flashes.
Pulse indicator light
The pulse indicator light indicates the output
pulse speed. The pulse speed varies according
to the battery charge level:
Battery charge level Typical pulse speed
Normal
Low
Standby mode
An intelligent battery management feature puts
the energizer into Standby mode when battery
charge falls below a 'safe operating level'.
When in Standby mode, the energizer is still on,
but it will not deliver a pulse to the electric
fence.
The energizer will resume delivering pulses
when the solar panel has charged the battery so
that it is above a 'safe operating level'.
When operation resumes, the battery charge
level will still be low, so the energizer will
deliver one pulse every 3 seconds. Once the
battery reaches normal charge level, the pulse
will revert to one pulse every 1.5 seconds.
