An intelligent battery management feature puts the energizer into Battery protection mode
when the
battery charge falls below a ‘safe operating level’. When in Battery protection
mode the energizer is still on but it will not deliver a pulse to the electric fence.
The energizer will resume delivering pulses when the solar panel has charged the battery
so that it is above the ‘safe operating level’.
Alternatively, the battery can be recharged with a 12v battery charger connected to the
charge port on the rear of the energizer. The correct chargers are available from MGG
Products.
When fully charged, the battery should be able to power the energizer for up to two weeks
with no sunlight.
Replacing the battery
If a replacement battery is required, use a 7.4V, 10Ah, rechargeable lithium battery. Do not
use a non-rechargeable battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a land-fill or in a fire.
Energizer maintenance
Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth using glass cleaner or a mild solution of
detergent and water. This ensures the solar panel functions efficiently.
When transporting the energizer protect the solar panel to prevent the glass surface from
being damaged.
Energizer storage
If the energizer is stored for an extended period, the battery may self discharge and
become damaged.
The energizer should be stored inside with power off, better next to a window, where
sunlight can shine on the energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny position, it should be kept in a cool place. The
battery should be fully charged and powered off. The battery should be recharged
manually every three months using a suitable 12V battery charger.
Troubleshooting
Problem and action
1 The Pulse indicator light is flashing, but the electric shock delivered by the fence is
weak.
Check that the energizer is adequate for the length of the fence. If necessary, reduce the
length of the fence or reduce the number of fence wires. Alternatively, divide the fence-line
into smaller zones, with each zone powered by a separate energizer.
NEVER EVER PUT
MORE THAN ONE ENERGISER ON THE SAME WIRE. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
2 The Pulse indicator light is not flashing.
3 The battery needs frequent replacement.
Check that the solar panel is clean and is not damaged. Make sure the energizer is
positioned to receive maximum sunlight. If necessary, remove any objects or vegetation
