Safety considerations
Installation
Read all of the safety instructions in this manual and any relevant
government, regional and local safety standards before installing the
energizer.
Selecting a site for the installation
Follow these guidelines when selecting a site for your installation.
Select a site where:
a good earth can be obtained
the energizer earth system will be at least 10 m (33') from other
earth systems (e.g. telephone, mains power or the earth system of
another energizer)
children and animals cannot interfere with the installation
Make sure the energizer is installed:
adjacent to the electric fence
preferably in the middle of the electric fence system
close to a mains/line power outlet (if using a mains/line supply to
power the energizer)
at least 1 m (3') away from and not directly above the battery (if
using a battery to power the energizer)
If your installation is outdoors, also make sure that it is:
on firm ground away from flooding
inside a protective fence, if required.
Using the power adaptor and battery leads
The energizer is supplied with a power adaptor (for connection to
mains/line power) and a set of battery leads (for connection to a battery).
Before connecting a power adaptor or battery leads, ensure the energizer's
selector switch is set to Off
To use the power adaptor:
1
Connect the power adaptor to the Power input socket on the rear of
the energizer.
2
Connect the power adaptor to a suitable mains/line power socket,
ensuring there is 25 mm (1") of clear space around the power
adaptor.
To remove the power adaptor:
1
Disconnect the power adaptor from the mains/line power.
2
Pull on the white connector to remove the power adaptor plug from
the Power input socket on the rear of the energizer.
To use the battery leads:
1
Insert the battery lead into the Power input socket on the rear of the
energizer.
2
Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery leads supplied.
Attach the red clip to the positive (+) terminal of the battery, and the
black clip to its negative (-) terminal.
Note:
If the energizer is to be used as part of a permanent outdoor
installation such as a solar installation, the battery lead clips should be
replaced by permanent battery connectors.
To remove the battery leads:
1
Remove the clips from the battery terminals.
2
Hold the battery lead by the rubber sleeve at the end of the wire. Pull
firmly to remove the connector from the Power input socket on the
rear of the energizer.
