The energizer has an AUTO-ON function which ensures that as soon
as power is connected the energizer starts to operate.
Installation with a 230V/110V mains adapter:
Connect the mains adapter with the energizer, as described in Fig.6, via the
mains connection . With the mains adapter it is easy to charge a connected
12 V rechargeable battery in parallel operation.
If the 230 V/110V supply fails, the energizer is then supplied from the re-
chargeable battery.
Installation with 230V/110V:
Insert the energizer's mains plug into the power socket.
CAUTION!
The energizer has an AUTO-ON function. As such, the energizer
starts following connection to the mains network.
3. Commissioning
Switch on energizer with the push button (1). After 1 second, you will hear a
rhythmic even ticking 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 recommendation, an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term
use in most parts of Europe. Nevertheless, the angle can be adjusted condi-
tional upon the season to optimize the output of the solar panel for recharg-
ing the rechargeable battery (see Fig. below). The steeper the angle of
inclination, the greater the cleaning effect during rain or snow.
