NOTE: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDING HELPFUL HINTS
BROCHURE BEFORE USING THIS FENCE ENERGISER.
This range of energisers are highly efficient electrical appliances. Installed and used
correctly, these products should provide years of reliable service. These energisers have an
"O" ring seal for protection against moisture and insect damage.
WARNING:-
1. Regular inspections of electric fences must be undertaken to ensure continued opera-
tional safety and compliance. See "INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION OF ELECTRIC FENCES FOR ANIMALS" detailed over the page.
2. Persons coming into contact with high voltage pulses on a high output connection may
have their normal physiological functions interrupted.
3. Young children and infirm persons should not be left unsupervised in the vicinity of an
electric fence energiser or fence.
4. Do not use copper wire. Electrolysis will occur and cause problems over time.
5. Output voltage reduces when the battery is near flat.
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the energiser in a suitable position under cover for connection to the fence, prefer-
ably at the middle of the fence line if powered by a battery. Install the energiser in a shed
or building if powered by a mains plug pack adaptor. Mount energiser upright with fence
terminals to bottom and mounting holes to the top, tighten fasteners to secure energiser to
structure. Drive one or more galvanised earth stakes approximately 1.5m into the ground.
Connect the live wire to the fence or red terminal, and the earth stake to the earth or green
terminal. Once all the fence has been installed, and is being powered by a battery, connect
the red battery clip to the positive terminal of a 12V battery and the black clip to the
negative terminal.
Correct earthing is extremely important. It is the other half of the electric fence. In dry con-
ditions or sandy soil, run an earth wire as well as the live wire as part of the fence, connect
any existing fence to the earth stakes, and drive in extra earth stakes every 1.5km.
