Energizer has to be turned OFF before any intervention!
ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION:
Set the device up in as moist a location as possible. The supplied U earthing rod/set-up post 14498 or the optional 1m earthing rod (longitudinal rod) 14041-1 must be driven as deeply as possible into the ground in a damp area and connected with a high voltage-resistant connecting cable (e.g. 90150) with the black earth terminal ( ) of the device (PG. 34/FIG.7). Connect the high voltage-resistant fence cable (e.g. 90676U) to the red terminal with the lightning symbol ( ). The device is only protected against moisture if it is properly assembled. Place the device on the U earthing rod and do not operate it while it is lying on the ground. Set the device up in a non fire-hazard location.
COMMISSIONING:
Switch the device on with the push-button switch (PG.35/ 1 ) – after a few
seconds an LED lights up in the same rhythm as the impulses. The device
transmits impulses to the fence. If the LED does not light, the 12 volt
rechargeable battery is spent. It could also be a defect in the device or at
the 230 volt mains adapter.
The incorporated current saving circuit is self-regulating and consumes less
energy with a well insulated fence.
COMMISSIONING WITH 12 RECHERGABLE BATTERY
(PG. 32/FIG.3,4 & PG. 33/FIG.6):
Only use rechargeable 12 V lead batteries; rechargeable batteries with
ventilation should only be recharged in well-ventilated rooms.
When charging with a charger that is not listed in these instructions and is
connected directly to the 12 V lead battery, you must remove the rechargeable
battery from the device. The rechargeable battery should be stored and charged
at normal room temperature before and after every use as well as during longer
periods of storage in the house (every 2 months).
The rechargeable battery must be recharged by the latest when it has
discharged 80 % (only 20 % charge capacity left) to prevent complete
discharge.
The rechargeable battery indicator (PG.34/FIG.2a/1 ) glows:
| flashing light| green| | Rechargeable battery good
---|---|---|---|---
| flashing light| red/green| | Charge battery
| flashing light| red| | Rechargeable battery fully depleted: Recharge
immediately
Please note that the values can fluctuate depending on the temperature
(capacity ) and measurement deviations (voltage). For solar module operation,
check the rechargeable battery indicator only at dawn (without sunlight).
You can operate the device with the recommended optionally available mains
adapter, or charge the rechargeable battery with the optional solar module in
the sun or alternatively with the 230 V mains adapter. End the charging
process as soon as the green light of the battery indicator lights up.
Avoid overcharging the rechargeable battery!
COMMISSIONING 230 V WITH MAINS ADAPTER
(PG.32/FIG. 4 & FIG.5):
To operate on the 230 V mains, use only the mains adapter 47PSU0010EU/UK as
specified on the intermediate plate in the device! After a few seconds you
will hear a steady ticking indicating the device is in operation. The fence
voltage indicator (PG.31/FIG.2a/ 1 ) lights up in the same rhythm as the
electrical impulses. With the mains adapter it is easy to charge
a connected 12 V rechargeable battery in parallel operation. If the 230 V
supply fails, the device is supplied from the rechargeable battery. Disconnect
the 9 V dry battery when operating with the mains adapter. Solar operation is
not possible when operating with a mains adapter. COMMISSIONING WITH OPTIONAL
SOLAR PANEL (20 W / 30W) (PG. 34/FIG.7 & PG. 35/FIG.8):
The device has an incorporated solar charge regulator (when the device is
switched on). Operation with the solar panel means you cannot operate it with
a mains adapter.
WARNING:
Do not leave the switched off pasture fence device in the sun with a
rechargeable battery and a solar panel for a longer period. Why? Because it
could damage the rechargeable battery.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
The solar panel produces electricity as soon as it is exposed to usable
sunlight. The pasture fence device requires consistent electricity – by day as
well as by night. The electricity generated in this way by the panel is stored
in a rechargeable 12 V battery, which means the device can operate without
sunlight or can be supplied directly by a 9 V battery. The solar panel may not
always have a sufficiently large output to completely recharge the battery –
especially during the dark, grey and foggy months (e.g. October to February).
For temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius or below, we recommend using a large
9 V alkaline battery instead of a 12 V rechargeable battery in any case.
The device is operated primarily from the solar panel. If the solar panel does
not have sufficient output, the device switches automatically to the connected
9 volt battery or to the 12 volt rechargeable battery.
OPTIMAL SOLAR ALIGNMENT AND SETTING
The correct placement of the pasture fence device and the solar panel is
crucial for the best possible operation of the device.
-
POSITION THE PASTURE FENCE DEVICE SO THAT THE PANEL POINTS SOUTH.
This position provides the panel with the maximum amount of sunlight even during the less bright winter days. When placing the device, consider the position of the sun throughout the day and avoid a location which could cover the device with shade from trees, bushes or high grass. -
DETERMINE THE CORRECT ANGLE OF INCLINATION FOR THE SOLAR PANEL.
The position of the sun over the horizon changes during the year’s seasons. As a general recommendation, an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term use in most parts of Europe. Still, the capability of the solar panel to recharge the battery can be optimised by adjusting the angle, depending on the season (see figure below). The steeper the angle of inclination, the greater the cleaning effect during rain or snow.
During the winter (with the exception of southern Europe), there may not be enough sun hours to completely charge the battery. Charge the battery externally as soon as the battery indicator flashes green/red or red, or alternatively use a large, alkaline 9 V battery with 170–200 Ah, which is also recommended for temperatures around or below freezing. -
REMOVE DEPOSITS AND DIRT FROM THE SOLAR PANEL AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
(specifically along gravel paths), leaves and snow, since these can reduce the performance of the module for recharging the rechargeable battery.
SERVICE:
Repair is only to be made by qualified service personnel. Only by the
manufacturer commanded replacement parts must be used.
Subject to technical alterations !
