3E4097 Gallagher S400 Solar Energizer User Manual
Problem
Battery capacity is
low due to insufficient
sunlight. The energizer
will slow down to use
less power and allow
batteries to charge.
No batteries,
incorrect batteries are
connected or batteries
are damaged.
Output voltage is too
low, due to a high load
on the fence line.
Energizer may have
been damaged by
lightning.
Solutions
• Ensure energizer is getting enough
sun.
• Turn energizer off for 3 days leave
in sun to charge batteries.
• Remove battery and use a 12 V 1.2A
charger to charge battery.
• Connect the correct batteries.
• Replace both batteries.
• Check batteries are OK using the
battery check function.
• Check fence and earth system for
faults.
Check energizer isn't faulty;
• disconnect from fence and earth
• measure across fence and earth
terminals with a Gallagher Fence
Volt Meter
- if less than 5 kV return
energizer for service
- if more than 5 kV the fault is
with the fence or earth system.
