Low Power The energizer operates at half power
(warning and fast speed (1.5 seconds between
alarm pulses). When the selector switch is on
disabled) this setting, the warning alarm will not

Full Power The energizer operates at full power and
fast speed (1.5 seconds between
pulses).
Fence voltage
The Indicator lights show the voltage at the energizer's Fence
full voltage terminal. Each Indicator light segment represents
an increment of approximately 1 kV (1000 V) of output voltage.
For example, if the first eight Indicator light segments are
illuminated at each pulse, the output voltage is approximately 8
kV (8000 V).
Red Green

Note:
If ten Indicator light segments are illuminated, the output
voltage may be more than 10 kV (10,000 V).
If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights,
your fence line is very heavily loaded, and you will need to look
for faults on the fence line.
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, 6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i and
406i-EU energizers only:
When the energizer is operating, the large digits on the LCD
display show the output voltage at the energizer's Fence full
voltage terminal.
Note:
If the large digits on the LCD display flash 1.0 kV, this
indicates that the fence voltage is below 1000 V. There is a
serious fault on the fence line. See page 16.

energizers only:
If the energizer detects a sudden increase in the load on the
fence, a warning light will flash ( ), the pulse rate will reduce
and a warning buzzer will sound for up to 10 minutes.
For example, this may occur:
if a cutout switch is closed, connecting a heavily loaded
•
section of the fence to the energizer
if a branch falls on the fence
•
if the fence or cable connecting energizer to it experiences
•
a sudden short to ground
if something becomes entangled in the fence.
•
50 seconds after the fence becomes heavily loaded, the
energizer may increase its output power to more effectively
energise the fence.
When a warning alarm is issued, switch the energizer off,
locate and remedy fault then turn the energizer on again.
Note:
If the energizer is set to ( ), a warning alarm will not be
issued and the output power will not be increased, regardless
of the condition of the fence.
Earth monitoring (12000i, X12i,
412i, 6000i, 6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU,
406i and 406i-EU energizers only)
The quality of the earth affects the fence voltage. The earth
monitoring feature allows you to keep an eye on the earth
quality to make the most of your electric fence. A low voltage
on the earth monitor indicates a good earth connection. A high
voltage on the earth monitor indicates a poor earth connection.
Setting up for earth monitoring
The earth monitoring feature works by comparing the voltage
of the energizer's earth system with that of a separate earth
rod. Ensure the separate earth rod is at least 10 m (33') away
from any other earth system including the energizer's main
earth system. Locate the earth rod in the opposite direction to
the lead out wire. Drive one 2 m (6'6") earth rod into the
ground. Use high-voltage, insulated cable and an earth clamp
to connect the earth rod and the energizer's Fence earth
monitor terminal. Make sure the insulation is stripped back to
ensure good contact between the wire and the earth rod.
