Warnings

CAUTION:
Electric Fence or the shown symbol.

WARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not connect the energizer simultaneously to a fence and to any other device such as a cable trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will be conducted to all other devices.

How the Energizer Works
The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, approximately one second apart. These pulses give the animal a short, sharp, but safe shock that doesn’t harm the animal. The shock is memorable enough for the animal to avoid the fence in the future.

For Europe only:
This time-delayed electric fence energizer has a delay time of 20 seconds after a change in load on the fence before it can increase its maximum output energy. The energizer must wait 20 seconds after power up to be in normal operation. A sudden increase in load is indicated by a slow pulse rate, internal buzzer, and solid red on the Fence Fault LED, for 15 minutes or until the load is removed.

Practical Hints
Refer to the installation guide for detailed instructions on how to install the energizer and controller.

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No equipment grounding means is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated controller, nor should a means for equipment grounding be added to the controller. Servicing a double-insulated controller requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualifi ed service personnel. Replacement parts of a double-insulated controller must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated controller is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol for double insulation may also be marked on the appliance.

HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS

The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one second apart. These pulses give the animal a short, sharp, but safe shock. The shock doesn’t harm the animal. It is su ffi ciently memorable that the animal never forgets the shock, and will avoid the fence.

Europe only:
This time-delayed electric fence energizer has a delay time of 20 seconds after a change in load on the fence before it can increase its maximum output energy.

Warning:
The energizer must wait 20 seconds after power up to be in normal operation. A sudden increase in load is indicated by a slow pulse rate, internal buzzer and solid red on the Fence Fault LED, for 15 minutes or until the load is removed.

Practical Hints

  • Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require a permit before use.
  • Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds or shrubs because these will cause the fence to short out and will reduce animal control.
  • All animals need time to learn to respect the fence. It may take several days to train the animal and the fence may require minor adjustments.
  • Animals that are prone to jumping may be diffi cult to confi ne. You may need to try different fence heights to determine the best height.
  • Use top-quality insulators: Low-quality or cracked insulators and plastic tubing are not recommended because they will cause trouble.
  • Use joint clamps on all steel wire connections to ensure a high-quality circuit.
  • This energizer must be earthed using galvanized metal earth stakes to ensure the electric fence works correctly.
  • Double Insulated Cable should be used in buildings, under gateways, and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Never use household electrical cables. It is made for a maximum of 600 volts and will leak electricity.
  • On permanent power fencing, use high tensile 12.5 gauge (2.5 mm) wire.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Energizer Controller
Mount the controller on a fl at a surface within 3m (10ft) of the energizer, or up to 50m (160ft) if using an RJ-12 extension cable*. The controller is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Alternatively, the bracket at the back of the controller can be extended to allow it to stand on a desk or bench.

  • Remove the black bezel surround from the controller allowing access to the 4 mounting holes in each corner. The 4 mounting screws are located on the back surface of the controller.
  • Using the template on the back page as a drilling guide, drill 4 x 2.5mm (7/64”) holes (A, B, C & D) at least 35mm (1.4”) deep.
  • Fix the screws provided into the wall through the mounting holes in each corner. Place the black bezel on the controller.
  • Route the controller cable to the energizer and plug it into the data connector on the back cover.

To achieve greater distances up to 200m, a lower resistance cable is required.

Step 2. Install the Earth system
Buildings and gates, for example, can become electrifi ed with fence voltages if the energizer is improperly earthed. Follow earthing instructions carefully.

  • Install at least 3 x 2.1m (7ft) galvanized earth stakes into damp soil where possible. In dry conditions or in low mineral content soil more earth stakes may be required. Earth stakes must be at least 3m (10ft) apart and at least 10m (33ft) away from any mains cabling, telephone cabling, water pipes, or building earth. Do not connect the earth terminal to any building metalwork or framing.
  • To attach the earth cable:
    1. Using Underground Cable (G627) remove 5cm (2”) of plastic coating from one end of the cable wire and connect to the green ( ) terminal on the energizer.
    2. Attach the cable to the earth system by removing 10cm (4”) of insulation from the cable at each Earth Stake (G879) and then clamp the exposed wire to each stake using an Earth Clamp (G876).
    3. Tighten the clamp.

Note:
Poor grounding can cause interference on telephone lines, radios, and televisions. This can be recognized by a clicking sound on telephones.

Reference Earth
An additional earth stake is required to measure the earth system performance.

  • Install a single galvanized stake (G878 / G879) at least 60cm (2ft) long, at least 10m (33ft) from the main energizer earth system, and at least 10m (33ft) from any mains cabling, telephone cabling, water pipes or building earth.
  • Using Underground Cable (G627) connect the reference earth stake to the black ( ) terminal on the energizer.

Step 3. Connect the fence

WARNING: do not turn the energizer on until after installation is complete.

  • Connect the energizer’s red output ( ) terminal to the fence using Underground Cable (G627).
    • Remove 5cm (2”) of plastic coating from one end of the cable.
    • Unscrew the red (FENCE) terminal and insert the wire through the terminal slot.
    • Screw the terminal closed, ensuring the wire is firmly clamped.
  • Attach the other end of the cable to the fence using a Joint Clamp (G603).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGIZER

GALLAGHER-MBS1800i-Mains-Powered-Energizer-fig- \(15\)

UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGIZER CONTROLLER

GALLAGHER-MBS1800i-Mains-Powered-Energizer-fig- \(16\)

Status LED
Green The energizer and fence are operating normally
Red The energizer has detected a fault. Check the LCD screen to determine

where the problem is.
Flashing Red| The energizer output voltage is low.

Quickscan Bargraph
The Quickscan bar graph gives a quick visual indication of the energizer output voltage. Each bar illuminated represents approximately 1KV output.

Green Segments Your fence is performing well. No attention is required.
Yellow Segments Your fence is under some load but is still delivering an

effective shock.
Red Segments| Your fence is under heavy load and requires maintenance.

Current Display

  • The output current indicates how hard your energizer is working. When your fence is in good condition this reading will be low, typically under 15 Amps. As the load on the fence increases the current will rise and output voltage will
  • fall. The output current will typically change with fence conditions, seasonal grass growth, and wet weather. A high output current, typically over 40 Amps indicates there is a very high load or short circuit on the fence.

Voltage Display
The output voltage is an indicator of how effective the shock is on your fence. It is generally recommended to have 3KV or above on the fence at any time. If the output voltage is too low there will not be enough voltage to ‘break’ through the animal’s hide and deliver an effective shock.

Zone Indicators
The zone indicators show what zones are active on the fence system. The Energizer zone ( ) and Earth zone ( ) are always available. Zones 1 – 6 can be added by installing a combination of up to 6 Fence Monitors or Alarm Systems. See Optional Accessories.

Navigation Buttons
The navigation buttons allow you to view the performance of different areas of your fence system. By pressing (<) or (>) you can scroll through the zone indicators to view fence or earth voltage. The zone you are looking at is highlighted by the zone indication arrow ( ).

Standby Button
Pressing the standby button turns the energizer pulses on or off.

Settings Buttons
The settings buttons allow you to adjust the alarm levels and output voltage of the energizer. Pressing the setup button ( ) turns the energizer pulses and enters setup mode. If no further buttons are pressed within 10 seconds the energizer automatically exits setup mode and starts pulsing as normal.

Other Icons
The controller may occasionally display other icons for your information.

  • Energizer over-temperature. The energizer has detected that its internal temperature is too high to operate safely, has automatically slowed its pulse rate down, and may shut down until the temperature has decreased.
  • Settings mode. The user has entered the controller setup mode.
  • Standby mode. The energizer has been placed on standby and has stopped pulsing. Press the standby button to resume normal operation.

Using The Energizer Controller

Energizer Output and Alarms

  • The energizer output is the default screen display mode. The zone indicator arrow is highlighting the energizer zone ( ) and the energizer output voltage is 7.3KV in this case.
  • The quick scan bar graph display also indicates an output voltage of over 7KV.

Voltage Alarm
If the energizer output voltage falls below the alarm level (default 3KV) then the status LED will fl ash red, the energizer zone indicator will become highlighted and an internal buzzer will sound on the energizer. The buzzer can be muted by pressing any key on the controller, except when there is a sudden increase in fence load. In this situation, the buzzer will time out after 15 minutes (if the energizer has not already been turned off).

GALLAGHER-MBS1800i-Mains-Powered-Energizer-fig- \(28\)

Current Alarm

  • The factory default setting is the current alarm disabled (shown by –). To improve your ability to fi nd faults before your fence becomes ineffective (voltage too low), Gallagher recommends setting the current alarm 10A above normal operation.
  • Many events can cause the current to increase, including rainfall, grass growth, broken fences, and failed insulators. If the current goes above the alarm level you have set, then the Energizer icon ( ) will flash, and the status LED will fl ash red.

Quick Reference

GALLAGHER-MBS1800i-Mains-Powered-Energizer-fig- \(31\)

HANDY HINT
A card is included with your energizer to allow you to record fence voltage and current. Do this when your fence is operating well and store the card by the energizer. This will greatly assist with fault finding.

Earth System Voltage and Alarm
View the earth system performance by pressing the navigation buttons (< or >) while the energizer is operating until the zone indication arrow ( ) is highlights the earth zone ( ). The earth voltage will be displayed if a reference earth stake is installed. If there is no reference earth it will display 0.0KV. If the earth voltage rises above the earth alarm level (default 0.5KV) the status LED will fl ash red, the earth zone indicator will be highlighted and the internal buzzer will sound on the energizer. The buzzer can be muted by pressing any key on the controller.

See Adjusting / Turning Off Alarms (p.11) to adjust or turn off the earth system alarm.

HANDY HINT

Testing the earth system

  • Turn the energizer on. At least 40m (130) along the fence line drive a steel stake into damp soil and connect it to the fence wire.
  • Turn the energizer on and wait 30 seconds. Check the earth system voltage using the navigation keys. The earth voltage should be 0.2 – 0.3KV or less. If it is higher add earth stakes until 0.2-0.3KV is achieved. In dry conditions or areas with low mineral content soil, an earth return system may be required as described in the Gallagher Power Fence™ Manual or visit www.gallagher.com.

Fence Zone 1 – 6

  • View the Fence Zone performances by pressing the navigation button (< or >) until the zone indication arrow highlights the desired fence zone (1 – 6). The fence zone’s voltage, current, and alarm information is displayed in the same way as the Energizer output information. See the Energizer Output and Alarms section (p.10).
  • To adjust or turn the fence zone alarms, see the Adjusting/Turning Off Alarms section (p.11).

Low Battery
When viewing a zone, if the battery icon is displayed, then the zone device needs a battery replacement.

Adjusting the energizer output voltage

  • Press the setup button ( ) to enter setup mode and use the navigation buttons ( < or >) to highlight the quick scan bar graph display (it will start fl ashing).
  • Press (+ or -) to adjust the output voltage up or down. The output voltage can be adjusted from 4.5KV to 8KV. The factory default setting is 8KV.
  • To exit the setup mode wait 10 seconds or press the setup button ( ).

BATTERY GUIDE

The Energizer will automatically reduce its power usage if the battery is starting to go flat. This will be achieved by reducing the energy in each pulse and increasing the interval between pulses.

Number of Pulses per minute Battery Capacity
30 75% +
20 60 – 70%
15 50 – 60%
10 40 – 50%
6 20 – 40%

The Energizer stops pulsing if the baery drops below 20% to prevent damaging the baery.

Gallagher Recommends:

  • Use 12 V deep cycle lead acid batteries.
  • Batteries of the same type and manufacture can be connected in parallel to increase capacity.
  • Store the battery in a dry place between 0oC and 30oC.
  • Do not leave batteries below 50% charge (12.0 V) for a prolonged period.
  • Batteries must be in a well-ventilated area while charging.
  • Batteries must be disconnected from the energizer while charging.
