• Removing power If the MB32 is configured with two different ways to control it, then the most recent method used will have control . For example, if the MB32 is armed via the Virtual Keypad and then disarmed at the side switch it will disarm . -
Page 21: Benefits Of Electric Fences
MB32 ENERGIZER MANUAL On touching the earth terminal on the energizer or the earth spikes in the ground, no shock should be felt . If a shock is felt on either of the above, it is an indication that the earthing is insufficient . To overcome this problem, extra earth spikes need to be added to the system . -
Page 22: Ground Return Setup
5 .4 EARTH RETURN SETUP The Earth Return (also called Ground Return) configuration is the most common method for electric fences, particularly smaller fence applications like “strip grazing”, due to its lower cost and ease of setting up . The fence live wire(s) are electrified and rely on the dirt to complete the circuit back to the energizer Earth terminal when an animal touches the fence . -
Page 23: Fence Return Setup
MB32 ENERGIZER MANUAL 5 .5 FENCE RETURN SETUP The Fence Return configuration for electric fences is used where the soil could be too dry to complete the circuit, or the animals are likely to try to force their way through between the fence wires . In this system earth wire(s) are also run along the fence with the live wire(s) to provide a low resistance path for the current to return to the energizer . -
Page 24: Earthing Your Energizer
5 .6 EARTHING YOUR ENERGIZER The best way to earth your energizer is using a 1 meter galvanized earth stakes . If the earth stake is too rusty it may not work properly . The best place to locate the earth stake is somewhere close to where the fence starts and that is kept damp like a garden bed, a water course, or the overflow from a rain water tank . -
Page 25: Low Voltage Terminals
MB32 ENERGIZER MANUAL 1 . Check the fence voltage using an electric fence volt meter . The fault finder will also detect faults and direct you towards them . 2 . Keep vegetation away from the fence . If it touches the fence it will reduce its performance . - Page 26 MAINS AND RECHARGEABLE BATTERY: SOLAR POWERED: Page 26...

Range 0kV to 7.0kV. Default 4.0kV Virtual Keypad: Enter the Configuration page and alter the Voltage Alarm 1 value . Click Save Settings. 6 .7 CURRENT ALARM LEVEL Sets the alarm threshold for a Fence Short alarm . If the feed current on Zone 1 rises above this level for more than the Fence Alarm Delay (Pulse count) a fence alarm will occur . -

. Click Save Settings. 6 .10 DFD™ DFD™ enables the MB32 to detect a fault at the end of very long fences . Instead of only measuring the peak current the MB32 with DFD™ calculates the “real” current and rejects the “reactive” current . -
Page 32: Siren On Time
6 .11 SIREN ON TIME This option sets the duration of time that the siren will remain on after a fence alarm occurs . After this time the siren will turn off for the Siren Off Time indicated in the table . The siren will sound again if the alarm is still present after this off time has passed . -
Page 33: Siren Cycles
MB32 ENERGIZER MANUAL 6 .13 SIREN CYCLES This option sets the maximum number of times the siren will sound for the “on time” if the alarm continues . This may be limited by local regulations to stop an alarm causing undue disturbance to neighbours etc . -
