INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Battery Powered Units

• Ensure that the energiser is switched OFF before connecting to the battery
• Position the energiser near to the fence line. Push the earth stake or fencer stand firmly into moist ground5. For 12volt energisers the RED is positive and BLACK negative wires are connected to the 12 volt Wet leisure battery (a car battery is not recommended as it is not designed to be fully discharged)
• The live RED crocodile clip is connected to the fence line.
• The earth GREEN (or BLACK) crocodile clip is connected to the earth stake (a one metre long steel stake is recommended). For short fencing distances the earth clip may be connected to the stand.6. Switch the energiser ON.The Orange Indicator will flash at approximately one pulse per second, indicating that the energiser is working correctly. If the unit is fitted with a 'low battery' indicator, the red LED will flash twice per second to indicate that the battery needs recharging.

Mains Powered Units

• These units are designed to be fitted INDOORS ONLY.

• Mount the fencing unit on an inside wall near a mains supply. It is important that the unit is fixed in a vertical position

• Connect the black earth terminal to a one metre earth stake, away from the building. Do NOT connect to the Mains Supply Earth

• Connect the live fence line output, using high voltage cable (Part No HTG) to the fence line.

• Connect the mains lead to the power supply and switch the Energiser ON.

The red neon light on the right hand side of the control box will indicate that there is power entering the energiser. The red neon to the left will pulse at approximately one pulse per second, indicating the energizer is working correctly. An 'earth leakage monitor' (if fitted) will indicate the fence line condition. This is particularly useful in areas of high vegetation growth.
The Earth System

A really good earth system is paramount - the fencer must not be connected to water or gas pipes, or the mains electricity earth. Use double insulated lead-out cable to your earth system.

Do not run your fence line parallel to telephone lines or power cables. Make sure all connections and joins are sound.Make sure all your insulators are in perfect order.Make sure there is no vegetation touching the fence line.(Even a blade of grass will cause sparking which is the cause of radio interference.)

To find faulty joints, leaks or shortsWalk along the fence with a transistor radio tuned slightly 'off station' and listen for an increase in the loudness of the clicks. The closer you get to the fault the louder the clicks will get.
