Trouble shooting You should have a minimum of 3000 volts on your fence line to be effective. In principle, electric fencing is a simple concept. If your energiser is working then there can only be two other places to look - your fence line or ground system. Checking the energiser Sound and sight - Most energisers emit an audible tick caused by the firing of the output transformer. This is a good indication that the energiser working. The indicator light or fence monitor should be pulsing or fashing. This energizer has a pulse indicator, and this should be operating at all times. If the light is fashing green it usually means that the energiser is working correctly. This indicates that the problem is somewhere on the fence system. If red then your battery needs charging. Flash test - disconnect the alligator clips from the fence and ground rod. Clip the alligator clips together making sure the metal jaws contact each other. Slowly draw them apart - you should get a short spark jumping from one to the other. Use a Tester - disconnect completely from the ground rod and fence and take a reading across the terminals. Depending on the model of energiser you should have a reading between 7000 and 10000 volts . Installation guide - Type: MXB240 Please read through before installation. Please read safety guidelines leafet. What’s in the box? Getting to know the energizer. 5 Checking the ground system Low or no earth voltage is best - If there is high voltage present on your ground rod then it is missing from your fence line. The greater the depth and surface area under the ground the more effciently your ground rod will collect the pulse as it returns through the earth. If you get a shock from your ground rod, or your tester shows voltage when touched to the ground rod, you can improve your whole system by adding further ground rods. Link additional ground rods with wire, spacing them about a yard apart. Checking the fence line Clear lines - An electric fence operates as an open circuit. The fence is positive and the ground itself is negative. By touching both fence and ground the animal completes the circuit and get the shock. If anything touches both ground and fence, other than the animal, it reduces the effective voltage on the fence line. The fence line must not touch anything that is not insulated from the ground. Check the fence line is clear from all vegetation and wooden posts, metal posts and gates are not touching the line. Check all insulators. The fence line can occasionally come unhooked from insulators and touch the posts and broken insulators can cause leaking of power into the post and ground. Line problems - If you are joining two sections of tape or wire, try to use correct connectors to ensure the conductors in both sections are connected. Check the condition of the line, if the metal conductors within the line are broken it will effect the effciency of the fence. Greater metal content means greater effciency. Netting - Netting is closer to the ground than other forms of fence so requires more maintenance to keep clear from vegetation. All horizontal lines, apart from the bottom, must be kept clear from the ground. If your net is sagging and touching the ground, add in extra posts. The net must also be clear of contact from other forms of fencing, arks and chicken wire runs. Check the metal spikes on the posts, occasionally wires can get caught up or slip down to the metal spike and take power to ground. Remember- if your energiser and ground system is fine, the problem will be somewhere on your fence line!

Connecting it all together The energizer can be powered by external 12v battery or 110v via the enclosed adaptor. The energiser should be mounted indoors or in a weatherproof environment and connected via the provided adaptor to a wall socket. Using insulated high voltage connection cable, take a line from the red terminal to the fence and one from the green terminal to the ground rod. The ground rod should be positioned 30 feet from the building . £ 110v connection (adaptor) Mount the energiser next to an indoor socket. Insert the male jack of the adaptor into the socket and plug the...
