storage. To rectify this, place the Energiser in FULL sun and switch ON. As it commences
charging, the POWER LED should flash briefly every few seconds but will stay in Standby
Mode. IMPORTANT: Once charging begins, do not switch the Energiser OFF. After a few
hours (or the next day if it is cloudy), you should see the Power LED go GREEN and the
fence commence working. If the battery still does not come good, replace it.
Rectifying Fence Faults
FENCE LED Continuously RED:
The Energiser is functional, but the output voltage is medium to low. Possible reasons:
1. The total length of Live Wire is more than 5km.
2. Excessive foliage touching the Live Wire is draining power from the fence.
3. Some fence insulators are faulty due to surface dust, dirt, lichen, etc., causing
electrical leakage, particularly during wet conditions.
4. Some fence insulators may be cracked and require replacing.
5. The Live Wire is short-circuiting to the ground, perhaps through a metal post or
adjacent Earth Wire. Look for the cause.
6. Insulating fence cables are experiencing electrical breakdown due to age or damage.
7. Replace any insulators not purposely designed for high voltage use.
8. If the energiser is more than 5 years old, its storage capacitor may need replacing.
Call Sureguard for advice.
FENCE LED Flashing RED:
Perform the following self-test of the Energiser:
1. Switch OFF the Energiser.
2. Disconnect both fence wires from the rear Terminals.
3. Switch ON the Energiser. If the Energiser now displays a GREEN FENCE LED, your
Energiser is good. The result means you have excessive power loss somewhere on
the fence Live Wires. (Read the last section for troubleshooting tips). If the Energiser
doesn't pass this self-test, then call Sureguard for advice.
