(if necessary).
4. Close the battery compartment, ensuring that the latches are securely
fastened.
Caution! When connecting the battery, be careful not to short-circuit the
supply terminals.
6. INSTALLATION
Positioning the unit
Install the unit:
• adjacent to the electric fence
• preferably in the middle of the electric fence
• where it will receive the most daily sun throughout the season
• where a good ground can be obtained
• away from flooding and out of reach of animals and children (inside a
protective fence, if required)

• with the solar panel facing true south in the northern hemisphere and true north
in the southern hemisphere.
Mounting the unit
The unit may be placed directly onto a flat surface or mounted directly onto a
steel Y-post or T-post using the post-mounting slot.
Connecting to an electric fence
1. Push a 1m (3ft) ground rod fully into firm soil.
2. Connect the green lead from the Fence ground terminal on the unit to the
grounding system.
3. Connect the red lead from the Fence output terminal on the unit to the
fence. Make sure there is a good contact.
Caution! Make sure the connecting leads drop downwards from the unit to
prevent water from collecting at the terminals.
7. OPERATION
Switching on and off
1. To switch on, press and hold until the pulse indicator light gives one
long flash (one second).
2. To switch off, press and hold until the pulse indicator light do not

flash( three seconds).
Pulse indicator light
The pulse indicator light indicates the output pulse speed. The pulse speed
varies according to the battery charge level:
Battery charge level Typical pulse speed
Normal A pulse every 1.5 seconds
Low A pulse every 3 seconds
Standby mode
An intelligent battery management feature puts the unit into Standby mode when
battery charge falls below a ‘safe operating level’. When in Standby mode, the
unit is still on, but it will not deliver a pulse to the electric fence.
The unit will resume delivering pulses when the solar panel has charged the
battery so that it is above ‘safe operating level’.
When operation resumes, the battery charge level will still be low, so the unit will
deliver one pulse every 3 seconds. Once the battery reaches normal charge level,
the pulse will revert to one pulse every 1.5 seconds.
8. BATTERY INFORMATION

11. TEMPORARY ELECTRIC FENCING
A temporary fence can be quickly erected and easily moved allowing the farmer
to:
•Make smaller paddocks (fields)

•Keep herds of animals separated
•Ration feed
Note: Use more wires for smaller animals and wild animals. Polytape should be
used when greater visibility is required (e.g. horses).
An example of a temporary fence is shown below.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Action
The pulse indicator light is
flashing, but the electric
shock delivered by the
fence is weak.
Check that all connections in the fence and ground system are
firm and secure. If necessary, clean away any corrosion.
Check that the ground rod is pushed firmly into firm ground.
Check for faults in the fence-line caused by trees or
vegetation. If necessary, remove obstructions and mend the
fence.
Check that the unit (charger) rating is adequate for the length of
the fence. If necessary, reduce the length of the fence or reduce
the number of fence wires. Alternatively, divide the fence-line
into smaller zones, with each zone powered by a separate unit.
The pulse indicator light is
not flashing.
Check that the unit is switched on.
If there has been insufficient sunlight to charge the battery, the
unit may be in Standby mode. Charge the battery by placing the
unit in full sunlight with the solar panel facing true south in the
northern hemisphere and true north in the southern
hemisphere.
Ensure the battery is connected correctly with the positive (red)
lead to the positive (+) terminal on the battery and the negative
(black) lead to the negative (–) terminal on the battery.
Try charging the battery manually using a suitable battery
charger.
Replace the battery with a new battery. Before installing a new
battery, charge it fully using a suitable battery charger.(See
Battery charging chapter)
If the pulse indicator light is still not flashing, please contact the
seller.
The battery needs
Frequent replacement.
Check that the solar panel is clean and is not damaged. (See
Maintenance chapter)
Make sure the unit is positioned to receive maximum sunlight. If
necessary, remove any objects or vegetation that might be
casting a shadow on the unit. (See Positioning the unit chapter),
or for more detailed information on solar installations.
After the unit is switched
on, the pulse indicator
light gives three long
flashes (2 seconds) then
the unit appears to be off.
The unit is in Standby mode because there has been
insufficient sunlight to charge the battery. Charge the
battery by placing the unit in full sunlight with the solar
panel facing true south in the northern hemisphere and true
north in the southern hemisphere.
The pulse indicator light
flashes quickly several
times and then there is a
pause.
There may be a problem with the unit. Return the unit to the
seller.
