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

Remaining capacity

Remaining capacity

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.
