General Safety Instructions
Switch off the pasture fencer before coming into contact with it!
Operating manual information
The operating manual has some important instructions on handling the
energizer. All technical details in the manual have been prepared and compiled
with the greatest possible care. Even S0, errors cannot be excluded. We wish
to point out that we cannot assume any guarantee, legal responsibility or any
liability for consequences attributable to possible lack of details. We would,
at all times, welcome any notification of possible errors. Safe working
depends on the indicated safety and handling instructions being adhered to.
Also to be adhered to are those local accident prevention provisions which are
in force where the energizer is used as well as the general safety
requirements.
The operating manual is to be studied carefully before any work begins!
As an integral part of the overall product it is to be securely kept right
next to the energizer and for ease of consultation by the personnel. Do hand
over this manual should this product be sold or passed on to another party.
For a better understanding of what is involved, some of the diagrams in this
manual may not be true-to-scale and may deviate slightly from the actual
constructional design.
Description and Construction of the Product
The energizer transmits voltage pulses to a connected pasture fence. Switching the energizer on and off (and changing between various operating modes) is undertaken by a push switch 1 .
Caution! Only the optional additional parts prescribed by the manufacturer are to be used.
Installation
Installation:
The energizer can either be mounted on a wall or on a stable post. The
earthing rod (longitudinal rod) must be driven as deeply as possible into the
ground at a moist location and connected by a corrosion-resistant wire to the
earthing terminal of the energizer.
Connect the fence cable to the terminal with the lightning symbols (%) .
The energizer is only protected against moisture if it is properly installed.
Shield the energizer from direct solar irradiation. Do not operate the
energizer when it lies on the ground. Set the energizer up in a location where
there is no fire hazard.
Earthing:
Good earthing of the fence is extremely important for trouble-free operation
and optimum performance of the energizer; therefore it should be earthed at a
preferably moist and overgrown location.
If the ground is dry and the fence is long, an additional earth conductor with
intermediate earths (every 50 m) should be installed along the fence.
Installation with a 12V rechargeable battery:
Connect the 12V rechargeable battery (red + / black -), ensure clean pole
terminals and correct polarity.
The device will not start if the polarity is reversed.
CAUTION!
Only use rechargeable 12 V batteries; only charge rechargeable batteries with
ventilation in well-ventilated rooms. Disconnect the rechargeable battery from
the energizer during the charging process. The rechargeable battery should be
recharged before and after every use as well as during longer periods of
storage (every 2 months) and disconnected from the energizer.
The energizer has an AUTO-ON function which ensures that as soon as power is
connected the energizer starts to operate.
Installation with a 230V/110V mains adapter:
For the operation of 230V power supply only use the mains adapter
47PSU0010FEU/ FUK.
Connect the mains adapter with the energizer, as described in Fig. 3, via the
mains connection. With the mains adapter it is easy to charge a connected 12 V
rechargeable battery in parallel operation.
If the 230 V/110V supply fails, the energizer is then supplied from the
rechargeable battery.
Installation with 230V/110V:
Insert the energizer’s mains plug into the power socket.
CAUTION!
The energizer has an AUTO-ON function. As such, the energizer starts
following connection to the mains network.
Commissioning
Switch on energizer with the push button (. After 1 second, you will hear a
rhythmic even ticking of the pulses; the energizer is in operation.
The energizer transmits pulses to the fence and the LED display lights up.
The fact of the status LEDs not lighting up points to a defect in the power supply.
Energizer Operating Description
The energizer transmits pulses to the fence and the LED display lights up. The fact of the status LEDs not lighting up points to a defect in the power supply.
Power economiser:
Afitted power economiser matches power consumption to the state of the fence.
This means less current consumption with well insulated fences and a greater
current consumption with poorly insulated fences (leakages due to plant
growth, etc.).
Maintenance

energy limits reliability of animal containment
The rechargeable battery must be recharged at the latest when discharged
down to 80% (only 20% remaining left) to prevent a flat battery. The
rechargeable battery indicator (LED2) lights up:
To extend the operating time when the remaining battery capacity is low, the
energy of the electric shock is reduced.
The unit features deep discharge protection to protect the battery against
permanent damage.
To ensure this, the device switches itself off when the remaining capacity is
very low.
Do note that temperature and measurement deviation may cause these figures to
vary.
Caution!
A When using a solar system Only carry out a battery or rechargeable battery
test at start of the day ( no solar power supplied – cover panel )
Disassembly, Dismantling, Storage and Transport
Disassembly, Dismantling
Before starting disassembly:
- Switch off energizer
- Disconnect entire energy supply from the energizer.
- Remove operating/auxiliary materials and any remaining working materials and dispose of in an environmentally-compatible manner.
Then properly clean sub-assemblies and parts and disassemble them in taking account of the local industrial safety & environmental protection provisions in force.
Storage, Transport
Ensure that the energizer is both stored and transported only when switched
off.
NOTE!
Ensure that rechargeable batteries are stored in ventilated and dry rooms.
Faults and Repairs
WARNING!
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified persons. Only the spare parts
prescribed by the manufacturer may be used.
Subject to technical alterations!
