Fig. 4. For Recharging a 12V Battery use an energizer with 100V-230V.  To use an energizer connected to 100V-230V.

1. Disconnect the solar panel leads of the energizer.
2. Attach the 100V-230V battery recharger to the solar panel ports.
3. Operate the energizer from a 100V-230V outlet instead of with the solar panel/battery.
   • battery ON, energizer ON (12V battery recharge)
   • battery OFF, energizer ON (230V power supply only)
   • battery ON, energizer OFF (recharge)

For 230V operation, the energizer should be and the adapter must be installed in a room protected from moisture.

OPTIMAL SOLAR ORIENTATION AND PLACEMENT

1. Rotate the solar panel angle according to the diagrams on page 6.
2. Secure panel knobs to tighten on both sides.
3. When moving the energizer, rotate the solar panel back to 90°.

ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION

Set the device up in as moist a location as possible. The supplied earth post 83306 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. 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. Set the device up in a non-fire-hazard location.

COMMISSIONING
Switch the device on with the push-button switch (PG.33/ 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 up, either the 9-volt battery or the 12-volt rechargeable battery is spent. It could also be a defect in the device. shock star S40 / shock star S40: The incorporated current saving circuit is self-regulating and consumes less energy with a well-insulated fence.

COMMISSIONING WITH OPTIONAL 9 VOLT DRY BATTERY
(use only alkaline batteries) Open the housing and insert the 9-volt battery. Then connect the device to the 9 V battery (red + / black -), and ensure correct polarity.

COMMISSIONING WITH OPTIONAL 12 V RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Place the batteries charged to 34 Ah in the lower section 87100 (12 Ah with intermediate plate 87102). Place larger rechargeable batteries next to the device. Then connect the device to the 12 V rechargeable battery (red + / black -), ensure correct polarity, and make sure the pole terminals are clean. The connecting cable is included with the super fleece rechargeable battery! Use the optional connecting cable (90501C) for the 12 V special rechargeable battery. After a few seconds, you will hear a steady ticking indicating the device is in operation. The device will not start if the polarity is reversed.

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). Please check your battery regularly using the battery check indicator – especially in periods of low sunlight – to avoid deep discharge of the battery. If necessary, charge the battery using the enclosed mains adapter.

Attention: The energizer must be disconnected from the fence during the charging process! 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 (FIG.2a / 1 ) glows:

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). End the charging process as soon as the green light of the battery indicator lights up. Avoid overcharging the rechargeable battery!

COMMISSIONING WITH OPTIONAL SOLAR PANEL (5/10W) (FIG.6)
The device has an incorporated solar charge regulator (when the device is switched on). Guide the cable of the solar panel 5W (60812) and 10W (60812) through the cable entry on the back of the device into the housing and connect it to the housing lid. Make sure that the polarity is correct.

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 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.

1. 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 that could cover the device with shade from trees, bushes, or high grass.

2. 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 optimized 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 (except 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 use a large, alkaline 9 V battery with 170–200 Ah, which is also recommended for temperatures around or below freezing.

3. 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING SOLAR MODULES

• Check the electrical connections before cleaning. Defective connections can cause short circuits.
• The modules should be cleaned before they reach working temperature, i.e. early in the morning. In addition, they should only be cleaned with water at ambient temperature to avoid thermal stresses.
• Do not clean the modules if they are too hot and/or exposed to strong sunlight. The shock of cold water on a hot module can damage solar cells.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• Make sure that the water used is free of particles and foreign bodies that could damage the module’s surface.
• Ensure that the glass surface is not scratched or damaged or that any foreign bodies are applied to it.
• The use of pressure or steam cleaners, acetone, high-pressure cleaners, knives, blades, and metal-containing sponges is not permitted for modules and will invalidate the manufacturer‘s warranty.
• Avoid exerting pressure on the module surface when drying.
