Open the catalog to page 3IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL ELECTRIC FENCE ENERGIZERS continued ● Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be identified at frequent intervals by warning signs securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires. The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100 mm × 200 mm. The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow. The inscription on the sign shall be black and shall be either: – the symbol of Figure 1, or – the substance of the wording: “CAUTION: Electric fence”. The inscription...
Open the catalog to page 4INSTALLATION STEP 1: Set up a Ground System: ● The “Ground System” consists of 1 or more highly conductive ground rods driven into the soil and then connected by wire to the ground terminal of your fence energiser ( ), the black knob. This system allows current to flow through the soil to complete the circuit needed for delivering an effective shock. ● Most electric fence failures or poor performance are caused by an improper ground system. ● Properly connect lead out wires, ground wire and fence line splices. This is the second most common cause of poor performance or electric fence...
Open the catalog to page 5STEP 2: Fix the U-bracket mount. continued B: Wooden Post: see Figure 4 ● Use the spike and at least 3 wood screws (suggested: #10x1" - not included). ● Hold the spike to the most straight and vertical corner of the post and drive in the 4 screws from different angles. ● Attach the U-bracket with the M8 bolt and spring washer. ● Adjust to face North or South (see step 4). ● Tighten the bolt with a 13mm spanner. ● Proceed to step 3. Wood Screws C: T/Y Post Socket (for Star picket or T-post): see Figure 5 ● Use the T/Y Post socket to slot onto the top of a suitably sturdy Y-post (AUS star...
Open the catalog to page 6Figure 9 shows the various possible tilt angles. The tilt angle of any solar panel helps to optimise the power generation of the panel and depends on the global latitude where it is located. As a basic rule, you can take your latitude in degrees and subtract 5° to get a good tilt angle, where 0° is a horizontal panel. STEP 4: Set the angle to the sun: The Solar Fence’s tilt angle is able to be adjusted from 7.5° to 60° to optimise the angle to the sun. This is done by loosening the side knobs and lifting the Solar Fence slightly and rotating. Lower the Solar Fence so that the pins lock into...
Open the catalog to page 7INSTALLATION (STEPS 1-5) continued STEP 5: Connect up the Solar Fence: ENSURE THE ENERGISER IS OFF BEFORE TOUCHING THE TERMINALS OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A SHOCK. The Solar Fence has the 2 fence terminals on the underside of the enclosure. They are marked ( ) for ground and ( ) for live. The Ground is the Black knob, Live is the Red knob. See Figure 13. If using the supplied connection wires with ring terminals, remove the terminal knobs and the first washer. Place the ring terminal over the bolt and replace the washers and knobs. Re-tighten the knobs. See Figure 13. If using other connection...
Open the catalog to page 8Switching on the Solar Fence: The Solar Fence has one ON / OFF button that also doubles as a battery-check button. Note: When the internal battery is connected, the unit will be in “standby” mode. This is indicated by the first green LED blinking every 2 seconds. It is only totally off when the battery is disconnected. Press the button once and the LED light bar will show a start-up sequence lighting each LED, then the Solar Fence will start to produce the high voltage pulse. Each pulse is shown on the green LED bar. See Figure 15 This data is based on a fully charged, new battery. Figure...
Open the catalog to page 9OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. cont. External battery charging: The Solar Fence battery can also be charged externally by use of the supplied 15V DC adapter. Simply disconnect the solar panel connection and plug in the adapter plug to the input of the Solar Fence. Mains power See Figure 18 separate supply unit Only use supplied 15VDC approved unit for battery charging. Solar panel output disconnected Replacing the battery: The Solar Fence uses a 12V 7.2Ah sealed lead-acid battery fitted internally. This battery will need to be replaced periodically when the battery can no longer take a charge....
