APPENDIX at the end of this manual) and warn the user to avoid head contact with the fence. DISCLAIMER Nemtek Holdings (Pty) Ltd or any of its subsidiary companies does not guarantee that the operation of the product will be uninterrupted or totally error free. Energizer specifications may be altered without prior notification.
Nemtek will, at its discretion, either repair or replace a product that proves to be defective. Nemtek guarantees that the product, when properly installed and used in line with the specification as determined by Nemtek from time to time, will execute its function of generating a suitable potential.
Do not open the energizer, there are no removable fuses or serviceable parts inside the energizer. If the energizer is opened while operating it will switch to a low energy mode and a Nemtek representative has to be contacted to reset the energizer. The display will permanently show the warning triangle.

Product Identification and Energizer Description The Agri 80, Agri 150 and Agri 200 can be identified by the label on the front of the energizer or by the label on the side of the energizer. The energizer display will also identify the energizer when it is switched off.
Mounting the Energizer Do not remove the lid STEP 1: The energizer cardboard box packaging has a drilling template printed on the bottom. Use this template and drill 4 x 8mm holes in the wall for mounting the unit. Four nail-in anchors are supplied with the unit. Insert the plastic sleeve of the nail in anchor into the wall then hammer the screw in with a screwdriver and hammer.
Installation Instructions Install the energizer in a dry environment and out of direct sunlight. The energizer must be installed in a location that is not accessible to children. If the energizer is installed inside a cabinet ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Fence Wiring HOW AN ELECTRIC FENCE WORKS In order for a fence to shock an animal an electrical circuit needs to be completed. The energizer sends a high-voltage pulse through the fence live wires. The energizer needs to be earthed. When the animal touches the live wire, the pulse will flow from the live fence wires to the animal, then into the earth, and back to the energizer, completing the circuit.

Fence Wiring TIPS FOR BETTER EARTHING • Place your earth spikes in damp areas where possible. • Earth spikes must be placed in the vicinity of the energizer. There should be at least three earth spikes, placed a minimum of two meters apart. •...

Fence Wiring PERMANENT ELECTRIC FENCE A permanent fence for game animals or livestock will require higher tensile strengths, be more robust, have a longer life span and use more durable insulators and equipment. Animals tend to run into the fence before seeing it and they could damage the fence, especially in the dark.
Energizer Operation When the energizer is connected to a suitable DC supply (11-15Vdc) the LCD backlight colour will indicate the state of the energizer. Blue: The energizer is switched off Green: The energizer is switched on and operating within acceptable limits Amber: The energizer is switched on but operating outside acceptable limits Red: The energizer could be on or off depending on service/alarm conditions...

Energizer Operation Amber: The display will go amber when the energizer is on but it is taking action to keep the energizer operating correctly. The display will show the same parameters as on the green display. When the energizer effort is either below or above set levels the display If a sudden decrease in fence load will go amber...
Installation Notes • Keep the wires to the fence separate from mains and communication wiring. • Do not try and modify the energizer. Any unauthorized modifications will null and void the warranty and possibly render the unit illegal. • Use HT (high voltage) wire between the fence and energizer, including the earth wire.

Appendix A 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.

Appendix B General requirements for electric fences Electric fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed and operated and maintained in a manner that minimizes danger to persons, animals or environment, Electric fence constructions which are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or persons shall be avoided, as entrapment can be lethal.

Appendix B The warning sign shall typically appear as depicted in the figure below or have the substance of “CAUTION: Electric fence”. The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning plate and have a height of at least 25mm. The warning sign should be legible from the secure area and the public access area.
Page 21
Appendix B Where an electric animal fence passes below bare power line conductors, the highest metallic element shall be effectively earthed for a distance of not less than 5m on either side of the crossing point. Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be avoided, it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.
IEC Safety Information • There are no user serviceable parts inside the energizer. • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
