Battery selection for a solar installation
The battery and solar panels must be selected carefully to suit the
energizer's electrical current consumption. As well as the position of the
selector switch position, the battery and solar panels you choose will
depend on the amount of sunshine at the location of the installation.
As a guide, the minimum amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V
rechargeable battery required is shown below. This table shows the
battery requirements for up to seven days of operation with little or no
sunlight. It takes into account the variety of solar panel and regulator
types that could be used in a solar installation. For more detailed
information, refer to www.tru-test.com.

Battery management
Warning!
Batteries contain harmful chemicals and when used
incorrectly, may cause injury. Observe the guidelines for battery
care, maintenance and safety in this manual and in the
documentation supplied with your battery.
Battery charging
Warning!
- Do not attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
- When recharging a battery, ensure that there is adequate
ventilation to allow gases to disperse.
Regular recharging of the battery is essential. Use a suitable safety
approved battery charger and refer to the battery manufacturer's
recommendations.
1 Attach the positive (+) battery charger lead to the positive
terminal of the battery, and the negative (–) battery charger lead
to the negative terminal on the battery.
2 Connect the battery charger's input power plug to a mains or line
socket and turn on the power supply.
Caution!
Over-charging the battery will reduce its life. Do not
exceed the recommendations of the battery manufacturer on
recharging the battery from a mains-powered (line-powered) source.
Battery care and maintenance
House the battery in a suitably designed battery box, if the battery
•
is likely to be exposed to the weather.
When not in use, store the battery fully charged and recharge at
•
regular intervals (every 8 weeks).
Recharge a discharged battery as soon as possible. Batteries
•
should not be left discharged.

does not fall below the surface of the battery plates.
Top up the battery using distilled water. Do not overfill. Refer to
•
the battery manufacturer's recommendations for more
information.
Battery safety
Ensure that the battery is well ventilated when recharging.
•
Avoid temperatures greater than 50 °C (120 °F).
•
Ensure the battery is not exposed to naked flame or sparks.

Using a remote control handset
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and 406i energizers will accept
190 Ah
commands from a Tru-Test remote control handset. No configuration is
required. The energizer and remote control are pre-programmed to
240 Ah
communicate.
Note:
6000, X6 and 406 energizers cannot be used with a remote
control handset.
240 Ah
Activating the energizer for use with a remote control
handset
150 Ah
During the first 10 minutes of operation, the energizer's remote control
feature can be activated. During this period, the large arrow on the LCD
290 Ah
display flashes to indicate this. The energizer will otherwise operate
normally.
To activate the remote control feature, turn off the energizer using a
remote control handset (see the remote control handset's user manual
for details). The energizer will stop pulsing, and the last green light will
flash to indicate that the energizer is in standby mode. The large arrow
on the LCD remains on to indicate that activation has been successful.
Once the energizer's remote control feature has been activated, you will
not need to perform the activation procedure again.
Note:
-
If the energizer is not successfully activated within the first 10
minutes of operation, you will need to switch the energizer off and
on before you can try again.
-
You can disable the remote control feature at any time. For
instructions, see the remote control handset's user manual. If you
do not have a remote control handset, take the energizer to an
authorised service centre to have the feature disabled.
The remote control handset
The remote control handset is three tools in one. It acts as a:
Remote control – Switching the energizer on or off from remote
•
locations on the electric fence system.
Fault finder – Assisting in the location of faults anywhere on the
•
fence system.
Voltmeter/Ammeter – Providing instant feedback on fence
•
performance (voltage and current)
For detailed instructions on using the remote control handset, refer to
the user manual supplied with the handset. Alternatively, the latest
copy of the user manual can be downloaded from www.trutest.com.
Warning!
even if it was switched off by a remote control handset before the
power failure. The fence should be regarded as live at all times,
regardless of the energizer switch position or the remote control
status. If you are working on a section of fence, isolate the section
with a cut-out switch, or disconnect the energizer from its power
source.
The energizer will reactivate following a power failure,
