READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR ELECTRIC FENCE ENERGISER

● Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an

energiser. A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed

wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more

off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence.

The supporting devices for the electrified wires shall

be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are

positioned at a minimum distance of 150mm from the

vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. Barbed wire

and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.

● Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment

shall be installed, operated and maintained in a

manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or

their surroundings.

Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment●

connected to the electric security fence circuit provides

a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the

supply mains equivalent to that provided by the

energiser.

● Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to

lead to the entanglement of animals or persons shall

be avoided.

Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be●

eﬀectively insulated from the earthed structural parts

of the building. This may be achieved by using

insulated high voltage cable.

Protection from the weather shall be provided for the●

ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certiﬁed

by the manufacturer as being suitable for use

outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of

protection IPX4.

READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR ELECTRIC FENCE ENERGISER

● DO NOT connect simultaneously to a fence and any other device such as a cattle

trainer or poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightening striking your fence will be conducted

to all other devices.

● An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energisers or from

independent fence circuits of the same energiser. For any two separate electric

animal fences, each is to be supplied from a separate energiser, independently

timed. The distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at

least 2.5meters. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by means of

electrically non-conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.

● In areas prone to brush fires, turn off fence energiser on very dry days.

● During lightning storms do not disconnect wires or approach the electric fence.

● Follow the earthing recommendations in this manual. A distance of at least 10m

shall be maintained between the energiser’s ground electrode and any other

ground/earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system

protective earth or the telecommunication system earth.

● Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulating

material or else insulated high voltage cable shall be used.

● Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the effects of

animal hooves or tractor tires sinking into the ground.

● Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply

wiring, communication cables or data cables.

● Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead

power or communication lines.

Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such

a crossing cannot be avoided it shall be made underneath the power line and as

nearly as possible at right angles to it. If connecting leads and electric animal

fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the clearances shall

not be less than those shown in table below:

Power Line Voltage

Clearance Dist.

≤ 1000V 3m

>1000 and ≤ 33000V 4m

> 33000V 8m

● If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead

power line, their height above the ground shall not exceed 3m. This height

applies to either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of

the power line on the ground surface, for a distance of:

• 2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000 V;

• 15 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000 V.

● Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or

training animals such as cows need only be supplied from low output energisers

to obtain satisfactory and safe performance.

● In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on buildings,

no electric fence wire shall be connected to the energiser earth electrode.

A warning sign shall be fitted to every point where persons may gain ready

access to the conductors.

● Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate

shall be incorporated in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by

means of stiles shall be provided. At any such crossing, the adjacent electrified

wires shall carry warning signs.

● DO NOT operate electric fence energisers near any combustible materials

including gasoline, cleaning fluids or kerosene.

● Follow all national, state and local codes and regulations that apply to installation

of an electric fence in your area.

● Electric fences are very effective psychological barriers when properly installed

and when animals are trained to the fence. Electric fences are NOT complete

physical barriers. Erratic animal behavior cannot be predicted and occasional

fence penetration can occur. Therefore, the manufacturer assumes no liability for

animal containment, injury or the consequences for the misuse of the equipment.

Note:

The fence live (hot) terminal is indicated by a red knob and a lightning bolt

symbol ( ). The ground is indicated by a black knob and an arrow symbol ( ).

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL ENERGISER INSTALLATION

Take care of the 5 following recommendations:

1. Grounding - Carefully install a complete ground system. Most electric fence

failures are caused by an improper ground system (see Diagram 1).

2. Connections – Carefully connect lead-out wire, ground wire and fence line splices.

This is the second most common cause of electric fence failure.

Use clamps, split bolts and taps for securing wire connections. Make sure all

connection surfaces are of bare, shiny metal

(see Diagram 4: Wire Splice and Connections).

3. Wire - Use adequately insulated hook-up wire (rated for at least 20,000V) where

the live (hot) wire must travel underground. Never use standard household

insulated wire, which is typically rated for only 600 volts or less.

4. Isolation - Maintain at least 25m from buried and above ground utility company

ground rods, water pipes, metal sidings, telephone wire and stock watering tanks.

5. Training - Finally, it is very important that an animal's first experience with an

electric fence shock is one of respect. Some animals require more than one

shock experience for lasting respect of the fence line. Always train the animal to

the fence prior to unsupervised entry into pastures by insuring that the animal's

first approach to the fence is slow, without stress and that an effective repelling

shock is experienced.

Tools Needed

1. Hammer or Screwdriver – for mounting energiser

2. Wire cutters/strippers – to cut and strip insulation

3. Post driver – to install ground rods and posts

4. Digital kilovolt meter – for electric fence testing and troubleshooting.

Accessories Needed

1. 1 to 3 galvanised ground rods – minimum 1.5 to 1.8m long, >12mm in diameter.

2. 1 to 3 ground rod clamps.

3. Insulated underground hook-up wire – 10m (20,000V rating).

4. Line clamps.

5. Highly Recommended: One lightning choke and a lightning diverter or a

combination choke and diverter. Lightning is the number one cause of failure in

electric fence energisers. Use these to protect the your energiser.

6. Nails or screws for mounting the energiser.

ENERGISER INSTALLATION (Steps 1-7)

READ STEPS 1 THROUGH 7 BELOW BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR ENERGISER

Step 1: Charge the Battery

WARNING: Do not remove and charge the battery with a 12V automobile battery

charger as this will damage it. The energiser will automatically charge the internal

battery. The 6V battery comes pre-installed and connected.

Ensure the switch is in the OFF position, and mount the energiser on a post or wall,

facing South for maximum sunlight throughout the day.

Put the energiser switch in the CHARGE position and allow the battery to fully charge

for 3-4 days before you begin to use the energiser. After each day you can test your

battery voltage, and if it is 6V or higher (5 ﬂashes), then your battery is fully charged.

The 6V battery has an average life of 3.5 years.

Easy Battery Check Feature (test your battery while it’s in the energiser)

1. Switch the energiser to the OFF position.

2. Wait for 15 seconds.

3. Switch the energiser to the ON position.

4. Watch the number of long ﬂashes of the light.

5. Refer to the Table 1 or the label on the side

of the energiser.

The number of ﬂashes refers to battery voltage.

Example: 5 ﬂashes = 6.0 to 6.25V.

If there is only 1 or 2 ﬂashes, it is recommended

to charge the battery before using the energiser.

To do this, switch the energiser to CHARGE and

put it in the sun for a day.

The 2 battery voltage extremes:

1). Battery voltages less than 5V, the light will

not ﬂash and the energiser will not turn on.

Charge the battery in the sun for a day.

2). Battery voltages greater than 9V, the light will

stay on constantly.

Prior to connecting the energiser to your fence, you should ensure it works.

Move the energiser switch to the ON position. Watch the light on the front for a red

light with long ﬂashes. The initial ﬂashes directly after power on represent the battery

voltage as mentioned above. After the battery voltage check long ﬂashes, there will

be a 3 second delay before the energiser starts to pulse the high voltage output and

the light with show a short ﬂash for every pulse. You can measure the output kV with

a digital volt-meter placed across the red and black terminals.

Table 1

Step 2: Test Function

Battery Saver Feature (to conserve energy for many dark days)

This is an automatic feature that is not adjustable. If there has been many overcast

days and the battery is low, the energiser senses this and extends the pulse interval.

The usual pulse interval is 1.4 seconds. When in Battery Saver mode it is 2 sec.

Min. 10m from building

foundation and metal siding

To Energiser:

Use 10 to 14 gauge

insulated 20,000V wire

Damp Earth

Thread wire

through hole,

tighten screw

IMPORTANT

Avoid pounding your ground rods

into SANDY, DRY and ROCKY soil

The “ground system” consists of 1 or more highly conductive ground rods driven into

the soil and then connected by wire to the ground terminal of your fence energiser.

The ground system allows current to flow through the soil to complete the circuit

needed for delivering an effective shock.

1. Locate an area of soil for ground rods that contains good conductive earth

(not sandy or rocky). Soil that is moist throughout the year is best. The ground

system should be located within 25m of your fence energiser and at least 10m

away from buildings.

2. Locate a ground system a minimum of 25m away from: Utility company (electric,

gas, water) ground system, underground water pipe, metal water tanks, and

a minimum of 10m from metal siding on buildings.

3. Drive one 1.5 - 1.8m (1.8m preferred) >12mm in diameter galvanised ground

rod into the ground. Leave 10cm above the ground for securing ground clamps.

Mark the area as a hazard.

4. If more than 1 ground rod is used, connect the ground rods in a series, 3m apart,

with one piece of continuous 10 to 14 gauge galvanised wire. Use clamps to

secure the wire to the ground rods. The ground hook-up wire should be equal to

or larger than the diameter of the fence line wire.

Step 3: Ground System set-up:

On the back of the energiser is a built-in mounting slot that can be used on a wood

post or steel T-post. See Diagram 2.

Face the solar panel due South (if in the northern hemisphere) out of the way of

trees, buildings and other objects that will cast a shadow. Do not mount the

energiser on the ground.

Mounting Options:

T-Post. Slide the mounting slot on the back of energiser over the top of the post.

Wooden Post: Screw in 2 large pan-headed screws into the wooden post, one

above the other in a line with the heads 1cm proud of the surface. Slide the mounting

slot on the back over these 2 proud screw heads. (screws not provided)

Wall: The carry handle of the energiser has 3 wall-mounting screw holes. Hold the

energiser against the wall and mark the position of the 3 holes (in a horizontal line).

Drill 3 holes (if necessary) then hold the energiser back in position and drive in 3

screws. (screws not provided)

Step 5: Connect to the Fence and Ground System

Note: Ensure the energiser is OFF before connecting up or you may receive a shock.

Fence (Live) Connection

1. If using a set of fence leads, use the red lead wire. The ring terminal on one end

of the lead is to connect to the red (Live) terminal ( ).

2. Remove the red knob and one washer, place on the ring terminal.

3. Replace the washer and red knob and hand tighten. DO NOT use pliers or other

mechanical means to tighten the knobs or they may be damaged.

4. Properly connect the other end of the lead with the red crocodile clip to the fence

wire making sure it has a good electrical connection.
