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 ( 12 ) 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 ( 12 ). 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:

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.

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 which 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 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.

Summer May & Aug.
Fall Sept. & Oct.

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.

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.

SERVICE:

Repair is only to be made by qualified service personnel. Only by

the manufacturer commanded replacement parts must be used.
