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

Description
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.
The battery voltage is displayed by the
indicator lights (all models) and on the LCD
(12000i, X12i, 412i,, 6000i, 6000i-EU, X6i,
X6i-EU, 406i, 406i-EU energizers only). See
Testing the battery voltage

When this setting is used, the energizer
operates at slow speed (2.5 seconds
between pulses).
The energizer operates at slow speed
(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.
The energizer operates at fast speed
(1.5 seconds between pulses) during the
day and slow speed (2.5 seconds between

the energizer operates at full power. This

and is a useful way of conserving battery
power when a battery is being used to

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 11.

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 (
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.
