Installation - Tru-Test Unigizer 12000i User Manual

Installation

Read all of the safety instructions in this manual and any relevant
government, regional and local safety standards before installing the
energizer.
Selecting a site for the installation
Follow these guidelines when selecting a site for your installation.
Select a site where:
a good earth can be obtained
•
the energizer earth system will be at least 10 m (33') from other
•
earth systems (e.g. telephone, mains power or the earth system of
another energizer)
children and animals cannot interfere with the installation
•
Make sure the energizer is installed:
adjacent to the electric fence
•
preferably in the middle of the electric fence system
•
close to a mains/line power outlet (if using a mains/line supply to
•
power the energizer)
at least 1 m (3') away from and not directly above the battery (if
•
using a battery to power the energizer)
If your installation is outdoors, also make sure that it is:
on firm ground away from flooding
•
inside a protective fence, if required.
•
Using the power adaptor and battery leads
The energizer is supplied with a power adaptor (for connection to
mains/line power) and a set of battery leads (for connection to a
battery). Before connecting a power adaptor or battery leads, ensure
the energizer's selector switch is set to Off
To use the power adaptor:
1 Connect the power adaptor to the Power input socket on the rear
of the energizer.
2 Connect the power adaptor to a suitable mains/line power socket,
ensuring there is 25 mm (1") of clear space around the power
adaptor.
To remove the power adaptor:
1 Disconnect the power adaptor from the mains/line power.
2 Pull on the white connector to remove the power adaptor plug
from the Power input socket on the rear of the energizer.
To use the battery leads:
1 Insert the battery lead into the Power input socket on the rear of
the energizer.
2 Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery leads
supplied. Attach the red clip to the positive (+) terminal of the
battery, and the black clip to its negative (-) terminal.
Note:
If the energizer is to be used as part of a permanent outdoor
installation such as a solar installation, the battery lead clips should be
replaced by permanent battery connectors.
To remove the battery leads:
1 Remove the clips from the battery terminals.
2 Hold the battery lead by the rubber sleeve at the end of the wire.
Pull firmly to remove the connector from the Power input socket
on the rear of the energizer.
.
Installing the energizer indoors
The energizer must be installed indoors, (under cover) when being
powered by mains/line power.
Warning!
- Do not use a mains/line power extension lead.
- Allow 25 mm (1") of clear space around the power adaptor.
To install the energizer indoors:
1 Select a suitable installation site. See
installation on page 3.
2 Mount the energizer on a wall 1.7 m (5'6") above ground level.
Use the template printed on the back cover of this manual, if
required.
3 Connect the Fence earth terminal (green) to the energizer earth
system.
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, 6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i and
4
406i-EU energizers only:
If earth monitoring is desired, connect
the Fence earth monitor terminal (black) to a separate earth rod.
For more information, see
5 Connect the Fence full voltage terminal (red) or the Fence half
voltage terminal (yellow) to the fence.
6 Connect the energizer to mains/line power using the mains/line
power adaptor provided. See
leads
on page 3.
Note:
For information about using the Fence half voltage terminal for a
bi-polar fence installation, see Bi-polar installation
information about using the Fence half voltage terminal to reduce the
fence voltage output, see Reducing the fence voltage output
Note:
If the energizer is being installed indoors, it may be powered by a
battery instead of mains/line power, if required.
Warning!
If using a battery to power an energizer that is installed
indoors, ensure that there is adequate ventilation to allow battery
gases to disperse.
