MERLIN STEALTH
15. Do not use the energizer with Non-rechargeable batteries and any lead-acid
batteries must be placed in a well-ventilated area during charging.
16. The unit contains a sealed lead-acid battery that will vent to the atmosphere under
certain conditions. For this reason it is imperative that the energizer be installed
in a well ventilated area.
17. Refer to the applicable laws concerning the installation of electric fences.
18. If mains power is not available to power the energizer the unit may be powered by
removing the internal battery and connecting an external battery to the battery
leads. Jumper 2, JP2 (next to Fuse 2) must be inserted to bypass the battery
disconnect relay. Failure to do so will result in the unit not powering up. In order to
prevent damage to the unit, the correct polarity must be observed and the battery
voltage must remain below 14 Volts.
19. Ensure that the bare wire of the HT cables connected to the energizer terminals
do not extend beyond the terminals. This may cause arcing at the terminals which
could result in strange behaviour including the energizer turning off. Make sure
the terminals are fastened properly.
20. When working on the energizer with the front cover removed, do not touch the plastic
component located under the magnetic switch label on the front cover. The internal switch is
made from glass and breaks easily.
BASIC DEFINITIONS:
Electric Fence: a barrier which includes one or more electric conductors,
insulated from earth, to which electric pulses are applied by an energizer
Connecting Lead: an electric conductor, used to connect the energizer to the
electric fence or the earth electrode
Electric Security Fence: a fence used for security purposes which comprises an
electric fence and a physical barrier electrically isolated from the electric fence.
Public Access Area: any area where persons are protected from inadvertent
contact with pulsed conductors by a physical barrier.
Pulsed Conductors: conductors which are subjected to high voltage pulses by the
energizer.
Secure Area: an area where a person is not separated from pulse conductors
below 1,5m by a physical barrier.

Questions and answers
the gate 1 and gate 2 lights arent working Why
Gate 1 and Gate 2 lights may not be working on the Nemtek MERLIN STEALTH if there is an issue with the Master energizer, as Gates 1 and 2 are associated with the Master. Possible reasons include:
1. A tamper or service condition on the Master energizer.
2. Power supply issues to the energizer or gate circuits.
3. Faulty wiring or connections to the lights.
4. Incorrect keypad use—Master keypad should be used only on the Master unit.
Check the Master energizer status and connections for faults or tamper indicators.
