SX energizers include internal 12v batteries and are ready to operate out of the packaging although we do recommend charging the energiser for 12 hours prior to use. Please see section on charging the battery. Lead connection Unscrew the terminals enough to slide in the fork terminals on the ground and fence leads. Securely tighten. Optional mounting SX energizers can be mounted on steel ‘Y’ & ‘T’ posts and onto screws and bolts with washers for standard fence posts. 10 Switching on and off Press the switch on the front of the energizer. The switch will fash green in time with the pulse. 5w and 10w models will fash red when battery power is low. Fence connection Connect the lead with the red clip to the fence (from red terminal) & the green clip (from the green terminal) to the ground rod. We recommend a minimum of one ground rod driven approx. one metre into the ground. If possible, position the energiser with the panel facing south and with a clear line of sight avoiding obstructions such as tree cover. Battery access If access to the battery is required for replacement or checking, rotate the red twist knobs outwards 90 degrees and hinge the panel section forward. The battery can be removed by unscrewing the battery retaining strap. Charging the battery From time to time the battery may need recharging. It is especially important to keep the battery charged when the energiser is not in use and stored away from direct sunlight. For 10 & 20w versions, insert the male jack plug on the charger into the socket on the side of the energiser, and plug the head into the wall socket.

If your energizer 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 energizers emit an audible tick caused by the fring of the output transformer. This is a good indication that the energizer working. The indicator light or fence monitor should be pulsing or fashing. The energiser has a pulse indicator, and this should be operating at all times. If the light is...
