General Safety Instructions
Switch off the pasture fencer before coming into contact with it!
Operating manual information
The operating manual has some important instructions on handling the energizer. All technical details in the manual
have been prepared and compiled with the greatest possible care. Even so, errors cannot be excluded. We wish to point
out that we cannot assume any guarantee, legal responsibility or any liability for consequences attributable to possible lack
of details. We would, at all times, welcome any notification of possible errors. Safe working depends on the indicated safety
and handling instructions being adhered to. Also to be adhered to are those local accident prevention provisions which are in
force where the energizer is used as well as the general safety requirements.
The operating manual is to be studied carefully before any work begins!
As an integral part of the overall product it is to be securely kept right next to the energizer and for ease of consultation by
the personnel.
Do hand over this manual should this product be sold or passed on to another party. For a better understanding of what is
involved, some of the diagrams in this manual may not be true-to-scale and may deviate slightly from the actual construction
-
al design.
1. Description and Construction of the Product
The energizer transmits voltage pulses to a connected pasture fence. Switch
-
ing the energizer on and off is undertaken by a push button
1
(Fig.1).
Caution!
Only the optional additional parts prescribed by the manu
-
facturer are to be used.
2. Installation
Installation:
The energizer can either be mounted on a wall or on a stable post. The
earthing rod (longitudinal rod) must be driven as deeply as possible into the
ground at a moist location and connected by a corrosion-resistant wire to the
earthing terminal ( ) of the energizer.FIG.
Connect the fence cable to the terminal with the lightning symbols (
or
) .
The energizer is only protected against moisture if it is properly installed.
Shield the energizer from direct solar irradiation. Do not operate the energiz
-
er when it lies on the ground. Set the energizer up in a location where there
is no fire hazard.
The energizer has two fence outputs:
(
) = maximum;
(
) = reduced.
Both outputs can simultaneously operate separate fences. A
short-circuit at the reduced fence output will hardly affect the maximum out
-
put, but a defect at the maximum output will additionally lower the reduced
output. Only the reduced fence output is shown on the display (LED 4-9
Fig.1) given the connection of two fences.
Earthing:
Good earthing of the fence is extremely important for trouble-free operation
and optimum performance 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 re
-
versed.
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 connected the energizer starts to operate.
Installation with a 230V/110V mains adapter:
Connect the mains adapter with the energizer as described in Fig.3, via the
mains connection
2
.
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.
