9 Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery leads
provided, but replace the battery lead clips with permanent
battery connectors. See Using the power adaptor and battery
leads
on page 2.
Operation
Select the appropriate pulse speed and output power level using the
selector switch.
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and 406i energizers only:
When the energizer is switched on, for the first few seconds the LCD
display and the indicator lights show the firmware version and remote
control address setting (only required for advanced troubleshooting and
servicing). After this, the energizer resumes normal operation. In poor
light conditions, when the selector switch position is changed, the LCD
display illuminates for 20 seconds.
6000, X6 and 406 energizers only:
The energizer begins normal operation within 6 seconds of being
switched on.
Using the selector switch
Setting Description
Off The energizer is off and is not operating. When
the selector switch is in the Off position, the
energizer will not respond to commands from a
remote control.
Battery Test The battery voltage is displayed by the indicator
lights (all models) and on the LCD (12000i,
X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and 406i energizers
only). See
5. When this setting is used, the energizer
operates at slow speed (2.5 seconds between
pulses).
Slow Speed - Day The energizer operates at slow speed
Fast Speed - Night (2.5 seconds between pulses) during the day
and fast speed (1.5 seconds between pulses) at
night. When this setting is used, the energizer
operates at full power. This setting is for
animals active during the night and is a useful
way of conserving battery power when a
battery is being used to power the energizer.

Fast Speed - Day The energizer operates at fast speed
Slow Speed - Night (1.5 seconds between pulses) during the day
and slow speed (2.5 seconds between pulses)
at night. When this setting is used, the
energizer operates at full power. This setting is
for animals active during the day and is a useful
way of conserving battery power when a
battery is being used to power the energizer.
Low Power The energizer operates at half power and fast
speed (1.5 seconds between pulses).
Full Power The energizer operates at full power and fast
speed (1.5 seconds between pulses).
Reading the 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).

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
Frequently asked questions/Troubleshooting
fence line. See
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and 406i 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 "How do I locate faults?" in
questions/Troubleshooting
on page 10.
Earth monitoring (12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and
406i energizers)
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.
