Note:
If the energizer is being installed indoors, it may be
powered by a battery instead of mains/line power, if required.
WARNING!
If using a battery to power an energizer that is
installed indoors, ensure that there is adequate ventilation
to allow battery gasses to disperse.
Installing the energizer outdoors
The energizer may be installed outdoors, powered by a battery.
WARNING!
USA/Canada - Refer to
Important safety
instructions for Class 2 power units (USA/Canada only)
. All
other countries - Do not power the energizer with mains/line
power if it is being installed outdoors.
To install the energizer outdoors:
1
Select a suitable installation site. See page 6.
2
Mount the energizer on a post. Use the template printed
on the back cover of this manual, if required.
3
Connect the Fence earth terminal (green) to the energizer
earth system.
12000i, X12i, 412i,
6000i, 6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i and
406i-EU energizers only:
If earth monitoring is desired, connect
the Fence earth monitor terminal (black) to a separate earth
rod. For more information, see page 9.
1
Connect the Fence full voltage terminal (red) or the Fence
half voltage terminal (yellow) to the fence.
2
Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery
leads provided. See page 6.
Note:
For information about using the Fence half voltage
terminal for a bi-polar fence installation, see page 13. For
information about using the Fence half voltage terminal to
reduce the fence voltage output, see page 14.
Installing the energizer as part of a
solar installation
The energizer may be installed with solar panels as part of a
solar installation.
A solar installation consists of these items:
•
The energizer
•
A battery (or battery bank)
•
One or more solar panels
•
An energizer earth system.
For information about the type of batteries to use for a solar
installation, see page 11.
The required power rating of the solar panel(s) depends upon
the local conditions. For help with positioning your solar panel
correctly, see the supplier of your solar panel and refer to your
local meteorological service.
WARNING!
Do not power the energizer with mains/line
power if it is being installed outdoors. USA/Canada - Refer
to
Important safety instructions for Class 2 power units
(USA/Canada only).
To install the energizer as part of a solar installation:
1
Select a suitable installation site. See page 6. For solar
installations, it is also important to select a site where the
solar panel(s) will not be subject to shading from the sun
at any time.
2
Face the solar panel towards true north in the southern
hemisphere and true south in the northern hemisphere.
3
Tilt the panel so that it faces directly on to the mid-winter
midday sun. If necessary, to increase efficiency, adjust the
tilt angle at different times of the year.
4
When the solar panel is positioned correctly, attach the
energizer to the rear of the panel. Alternatively, mount the
energizer on a fence post. Use the template printed on the
back cover of this manual, if required.
5
Connect the Fence earth terminal (green) to the energizer
earth system.
