ENGLISH The Energizer Monitor Unit Congratulations on your recent purchase of an Energizer Monitor Unit electric fence security system. The unit is a combined electric fence energizer and alarm system designed primarily for security fencing applications. When armed, the unit continuously checks the fence voltage and triggers an alarm if the fence voltage falls outside of preset limits (e.g.
Page 3 Which Energizer Monitor Unit do you have? The electric fence security system is based on one of two units, a Premium or a Compact: Premium A Premium unit has just a single ‘power’ indicator lamp on the case front. This unit is typically installed together with a Keypad and/or Keyswitch.
Page 4: Arming And Disarming The Electric Fence Security System
Arming and Disarming the Electric Fence Security System Arming the electric fence security system Arm the system when you wish to fully secure the property. Arming the unit will electrify the fence and enable gate and fence monitoring. The Keyswitch or Keypad can be used to arm the system:...
Page 5 Disarming the electric fence security system Disarming using the Keyswitch Disarm the system in the same way as you arm it. Insert the key into the Keyswitch. Rotate ¼ turn to the right until a fast beeping is heard. Return the key back to the upright position and remove.
Page 6: Daytime Fence Monitoring
Daytime Fence Monitoring Twenty-four hour fence monitoring can be provided by the unit, even without fully energizing the fence. During the daytime, when people and children are expected to be around the fenced area, fence monitoring can be provided at a reduced voltage, by selecting “Monitor mode”. In this mode the unit is still able to monitor the electric fence installation, and will trigger the alarm if someone tampers with it.
Page 7 Exiting Monitor mode using the Keypad To exit Monitor mode and return to Standby, enter the UPIN or OPIN, then press COMMAND Return to Standby using: User PIN Owner PIN The system will disarm, the Armed lamp will turn off and the Pulse lamp will stop flashing. Tip: You may instantly activate Armed and Monitor modes without first disarming the system.
Page 8: Alarm Response
Alarm Response If the electric fence security system is breached, it triggers an alarm — the security siren and any auxiliary equipment, such as a master alarm system/tele-dialler, are activated. After activation, the cause of the alarm is indicated by the Fence and Gate lamps (on the case front of the Compact, the Keypad, and Keyswitch).
Page 9: Panic Alarm
Panic Alarm In an emergency, a panic alarm can be raised manually by entering Panic mode. Entering Panic mode Entering Panic mode using the Keypad Enter the key sequence: COMMAND Entering Panic mode Activating the alarm manually using the panic button overrides all system settings and immediately activates the siren and auxiliary equipment.
Page 10: System Operation
System Operation Indicator lamps You can quickly check the operating status of the electric fence security system by viewing the LED indicator lamps, fitted to Keyswitch, Keypad and the case front of the Compact unit. Lamp State Flashing Slow Flashing...
Page 11: Tamper Alarm
Gate Alarm The unit can monitor the gate used to access the area secured by the electric fence. If the gate is opened while the system is armed, an alarm will be triggered (subject to the optional exit/entry delays described below). Exit/entry delays The unit can be set with a range of exit/entry delay times.
Page 12: Setting The User And Owner Pin Numbers
Setting the User and Owner PIN numbers On Keypad equipped systems, the User PIN (UPIN) or Owner PIN (OPIN) number must be entered before the unit will obey any commands, except when raising a panic alarm. These numbers should be kept secret to prevent unauthorised operation of the unit. Until configured, the factory default value of the OPIN is 5555, and the UPIN is 1234.
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting General system faults If you encounter a problem with your electric fence security system, first ask your service agent for advice. If the unit detects a fault in the system, it will log a fault code, and the Power lamp will start flashing fast.
Page 14: Care And Maintenance
Care and Maintenance While the electric fence security system has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, observing the recommendations below will help to ensure a long and trouble-free life from your system: • Have the internal battery in the Energizer Monitor Unit checked at least every two years by your service agent, to preserve the back-up time of the unit.
