Installing the batteries
Warning!
Switch off the energizer before installing batteries.
Installing 1.5 V batteries
Caution:
To avoid damaging the energizer, remove the 1.5 V batteries when they are discharged and
when storing the energizer.
1
Release the two catches and remove the battery compartment.
2
Install the 1.5 V batteries, making sure the polarity is correct (positive to +, negative to -) as
indicated on the battery compartment.
3
Refit the battery compartment. The battery compartment will only fit correctly one way to
ensure correct operation.
Connecting to an external 6 V, 9 V or 12 V battery
Warning!
Ensure that the battery is disconnected from the energizer before connecting the
battery to any mains-operated (line-operated) battery charging device. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the energizer and possible electrocution.
Connect the energizer to the 6 V, 9 V or 12 V battery using the battery leads supplied. Connect
the red, positive (+) lead to the positive terminal on the underside of the energizer. Connect
the clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the black negative (-) lead to the
negative terminal on the underside of the energizer. Connect the clip to the negative terminal
of the battery.
Installation
Read all of the safety instructions in this manual and any relevant government, regional and local
safety standards before installing the energizer.
Mounting the energizer and connecting it to an electric fence
Attach the energizer directly to the fence wire using the fence wire clip. Try to position the energizer
as near as possible to the centre of the electric fence.
Connect the green earth lead to a portable earth rod. This can be a metal, tread-in electric fence post.
Ensure that the energizer, battery, earth rods and all connections are protected from interference by
animals.
Caution!
If a 6 V, 9 V or 12 V battery is being used to power the energizer, ensure that the battery is
at least 1 m (3') away from and not directly below the energizer to avoid possible damage to the
energizer.
Connect the energizer Fence output terminal to the fence using the yellow lead supplied.
