Installation
Read all of the safety instructions in this manual and any
relevant government, regional and local safety standards before
installing the energizer.
Selecting a site for the installation
Follow these guidelines when selecting a site for your
installation.
Select a site where:
a good earth can be obtained
•
the energizer earth system will be at least 10 m (33') from
•
other earth systems (e.g. telephone, mains power or the
earth system of another energizer)
children and animals cannot interfere with the installation
•
Make sure the energizer is installed:
adjacent to the electric fence
•
preferably in the middle of the electric fence system
•
close to a mains/line power outlet (if using a mains/line
•
supply to power the energizer)
at least 1 m (3') away from and not directly above the
•
battery (if using a battery to power the energizer)
If your installation is outdoors, also make sure that it is:
on firm ground away from flooding
•
inside a protective fence, if required.
•
Using the power adaptor and
battery leads
The energizer is supplied with a power adaptor (for connection
to mains/line power) and a set of battery leads (for connection
to a battery). Before connecting a power adaptor or battery
leads, ensure the energizer's selector switch is set to Off
To use the power adaptor:
1
Connect the power adaptor to the Power input socket on
the rear of the energizer.
2
Connect the power adaptor to a suitable mains/line power
socket, ensuring there is 25 mm (1") of clear space around
the power adaptor.
To remove the power adaptor:
1
Disconnect the power adaptor from the mains/line power.
2
Pull on the white connector to remove the power adaptor
plug from the Power input socket on the rear of the
energizer.
6
To use the battery leads:
1
Insert the battery lead into the Power input socket on the
rear of the energizer.
2
Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery
leads supplied. Attach the red clip to the positive (+)
terminal of the battery, and the black clip to its negative
(-) terminal.
Note:
If the energizer is to be used as part of a permanent
outdoor installation such as a solar installation, the battery lead
clips should be replaced by permanent battery connectors.
To remove the battery leads:
1
Remove the clips from the battery terminals.
2
Hold the battery lead by the rubber sleeve at the end of the
wire. Pull firmly to remove the connector from the Power
input socket on the rear of the energizer.
Installing the energizer indoors
The energizer must be installed indoors, (under cover) when
being powered by mains/line power.
WARNING!
- Do not use a mains/line power extension lead.
- Allow 25 mm (1") of clear space around the power
adaptor.
To install the energizer indoors:
1
Select a suitable installation site. See page 6.
2
Mount the energizer on a wall 1.7 m (5'6") above ground
level. Use the template printed on the back cover of this
manual, if required.
3
Connect the Fence earth terminal (green) to the energizer
earth system.
12000i, X12i, 412i
406i-EU energizers only:
.
the Fence earth monitor terminal (black) to a separate earth
rod. For more information, see page 9.
1
Connect the Fence full voltage terminal (red) or the Fence
half voltage terminal (yellow) to the fence.
2
Connect the energizer to mains/line power using the
mains/line power adaptor provided. See page 6.
Note:
For information about using the Fence half voltage
terminal for a bi-polar fence installation, see page 13. For
information about using the Fence half voltage terminal to
reduce the fence voltage output, see page 14.
