Rectifying Power Faults
POWER LED Continuously RED:
The internal battery needs more charge. The Energiser will automatically lower its power
consumption to continue operation. It will pulse less frequently. Check the following:
1. Clean the solar panel with water; remove bird droppings and dust.
2. Confirm your solar setup is as described on page 6 “Mounting Location”.
3. Confirm the panel is facing toward the equator (not east or west), not experiencing
shadowing and can see as much of the sky in all directions as possible.
4. A temporary low power state may occur during prolonged dark cloudy conditions.
POWER LED Flashing RED:
In addition to the above points, select Function #1 to test the hardware and solar panel.
POWER LED is OFF:
The Energiser has entered a low power Stand-by Mode to avoid the battery becoming fully
depleted. This condition might happen if you forgot to switch the Energiser OFF when
putting it into storage. To rectify this, switch the Energiser OFF for at least 24-hours. Then
place the Energiser in FULL sun and switch ON. As it commences charging, the POWER LED
should flash briefly every few seconds. If it doesn’t, switch OFF for another 24-hours then
try charging again. If the battery still does not come good, replace it. IMPORTANT: Once
charging begins, do not switch the Energiser OFF. After a few hours (or next day if it is
cloudy) you should see the Power LED go GREEN and the fence commence working.
Rectifying Fence Faults
FENCE LED Continuously RED:
The Energiser is functional, but the output voltage is medium to low. Possible reasons:
1. Total length of Live wire is too long.
2. Excessive foliage touching the Live wire is draining power.
3. Electrical breakdown of materials due to age, damage, or substituting incorrect
materials.
FENCE LED Flashing RED:
The output voltage is very low. Perform the following self-test of the Energiser:
1. Switch OFF the Energiser.
2. Disconnect both cables from the terminals.
