The Wolseley SX300 Mk II is a portable, self-contained solar powered fence energiser,
featuring a unique three-way hybrid system unique to Wolseley. The system combines solar
power, new generation NiMh rechargeable batteries and a standby power back up provided by
Replaceable alkaline “C” cell batteries. These are all fully integrated and the power source is
automatically routed depending on the level of solar energy available.
The Wolseley SX300 Mk II features an auto night-saver mode to ensure full solar recovery of
the rechargeable batteries during daylight hours. If there is a prolonged period of insufficient
daylight to generate solar power, the system will automatically switch to the internal back up
batteries. If there continues to be insufficient daylight to allow recovery of the rechargeable
batteries, the backup batteries will only last for 10—14 days. If these conditions persist, YOU
WILL NEED TO CONNECT THE SX300 TO A 6v, 9v OR 12v BATTERY with the lead kit
provided. The system automatically reverts to the full solar mode as soon as there is sufficient
daylight to generate the energy required.
General Information
1.
Warning: Danger of electric shock!
Handle with care and always ensure the switch is
In the “off” position before handling. Only carry out installation when equipment is
turned off.
2. For safety reasons, never connect this unit to mains operated equipment.
3. Always remove the backup “C” cell batteries when the unit is put into storage.
4. We recommend new alkaline good quality “C” cell batteries are installed every
season.
5. Keep the solar panel clean at all times. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry to a shine to
maintain maximum efficiency.
6. The Wolseley SX300 Mk II is suitable for use with cows, horses, goats, sheep,
chickens, pigs and rabbits.
7. The Wolseley SX300 Mk II can be used with polytape, polywire/rope, galvanised wire
and netting.
8. The warranty form should be completed and returned to Stockshop (Livestock
Equipment) Ltd within 28 days.
Operating Instructions
1. The backup batteries are already fitted. If you need to change them, ensure the
energiser is switched off. Release the bottom cover by squeezing the two black
catches inwards (towards the switch). Pull the cover down to expose the batteries.
Place three new, top quality “C” cell batteries in the housing, observing the correct
polarity. Replace the bottom cover and snap into position over the black catches. (
) Please note it is not possible to change the rechargeable batteries.
2. You will need to purchase an earth stake (P/no 34399). Push the earth stake as far
into the ground as possible – the deeper the stake, the better the earth. Ensure the
earth around the stake is damp. For dry or well drained soil more than one earth stake
may be necessary. In dry areas, several buckets of water around the earth stake may
be necessary to improve its efficiency.
3. Mount the Wolseley SX300 Mk II on the earth stake. Ensure that it is exposed to full
daylight as any kind of shading, even partial, will reduce the efficiency of the unit. For
best results, the angled face should face the rising sun. Keep the tempered glass
panel clean at all times. Connect the green earth lead to the earth stake. Connect the
blue fence lead to the fence line, ensuring a good contact. Make sure there is no
vegetation touching the line. Turn the unit on by sliding the switch on the underside.
4. There are three indicator lights on the Wolseley SX300 Mk II (
).
·
The blue indicator in the middle shows that the system is running. Output is
delivered to the fence each time the blue LED pulses.
·
The yellow indicator to the left indicates the level of solar activity within the
system – the brighter the LED becomes, the more solar output is delivered to
the rechargeable batteries. A bright solar indicator also means the batteries
are fully charged.
·
The indicator to the right is a battery status indicator that will shine either
green or red. When the fencer is switched on, a green light illuminates for a
few seconds to confirm the backup batteries are in good condition. If the red
light shows, the backup batteries need to be replaced as soon as possible or
the unit needs to be connected to a 6v, 9v or 12v battery.

Connecting an External Battery
1. The Wolseley SX300 Mk II is supplied with a lead kit with suitable adaptors for it to be
fitted to a 6v, 9v or 12v battery. Always connect the battery leads to the back of the
solar panel before connecting to the battery of choice. Please note that you will need
to connect the black wire to the black terminal and the red wire to the red terminal. A
red light on the underside of the solar panel illuminates when the external battery is
connected correctly.
2. There are conventional crocodile clips supplied to connect to 12v batteries along with
short plug-in connector leads to adapt to high capacity 9v alkaline fence batteries.
