Earthing:
Good earthing of the fence is extremely important for trouble-free operation and optimum per-
formance of the energizer; therefore it should be earthed at a preferably moist and overgrown
location.
If the ground is dry and the fence is long, an additional earth conductor with intermediate earths
(every 50 m) should be installed along the fence.
Installation with a 12V rechargeable battery:
Connect the 12V rechargeable battery (red + / black -), ensure clean pole terminals and correct
polarity. The device will not start if the polarity is reversed.
CAUTION!
Only use rechargeable 12 V batteries; only charge rechargeable batteries with ventilation
in well-ventilated rooms. Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the energizer during
the charging process. The rechargeable battery should be recharged before and after
every use as well as during longer periods of storage (every 2 months) and disconnected
from the energizer.
The energizer has an AUTO-ON function which ensures that as soon as power is con-
nected the energizer starts to operate.
3. Commissioning
Switch on energizer with the push button
ing of the pulses; the energizer is in operation.
The energizer transmits pulses to the fence and the LED display lights up. The fact of the status
LEDs not lighting up points to a defect in the power supply.
Optimal Solar Alignment and Setting
The correct placement of the pasture fencer and the solar panel is crucial for the best possible
operation of the energizer.
1. Position the pasture fencer so that the panel points south.
This positioning enables the panel to absorb a maximum amount of sunlight even during the few
light winter days When placing the energizer, consider the position of the sun throughout the day
and avoid a location which could cover the energizer with shade from trees, bushes or high grass.
2. Determine the correct angle of inclination for the solar panel.
The position of the sun above the horizon changes during the seasons. As a general recommen-
dation, an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term use in most parts of Europe. Nevertheless,
the angle can be adjusted conditional upon the season to optimize the output of the solar panel
for recharging the rechargeable battery (see Fig. below). The steeper the angle of inclination, the
greater the cleaning effect during rain or snow.
