Installation guide - Raptor 47HLB 80, 170

Connecting it all together
The Raptor can be powered by external 12v battery or mains power via the enclosed adap-
tor. A 6v spring top battery can also be used alongside both 12v and 230v modes to provide
a back up power source or, in the case of the Raptor 20 and Raptor 80, an alternative pri-
mary power source.*
To insert the internal 6v battery, slide out the door to
the battery compartment and place the battery inside,
spring side up. Slide the battery door back into place
securely. With the 6v battery inserted, the energiser
will operate from the primary 12v or 230v power
source and the 6v battery if the primary source is lost
or disconnected.
*Using a high amp hour version of the spring top battery will give you a longer
operation time. Our Part 47PJ6-50
Insert the male jack from the 12v battery
lead into the socket on the side of the
energiser. Unscrew the terminals enough
to slide in the fork terminals on the earth
and fence leads. Securely tighten. Using
mounting holes, position the energiser
onto the stand.
Mount the energiser next to an indoor
socket. Insert the male jack of the adaptor
into the socket and plug in the adaptor
head. Connect the HT lead for your fence
and ground connections to the terminals
(HT is not included in the pack as power
to fence distance varies).

Connect the lead with the red croc
clip to the fence (from red terminal)
& the green croc clip (from the green
terminal) to the ground rod. We
recommend a minimum of one ground
road driven approx. one metre into the
ground. Connect the croc clips on the
battery lead to a 12v leisure/marine
battery.
The energiser should be mounted
indoors or in a weatherproof
environment and connected via the
provided adaptor to a wall socket. Using
insulated HT lead-out or undergate
cable, take a line from the red terminal
to the fence one from the green
terminal to the ground rod. The ground
rod should be 10m from the building to
ensure there is no interference with the
buildings mains safety earth.
Connection to the fence
Good effective attention
The central LED will ash when your
12v battery is low and when the
raptor is operating from the internal
6v battery.

Trouble shooting
You should have a minimum of 3kv 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.
Sound and sight - Most energisers emit an audible tick caused by the ring of the output
transformer. This is a good indication that the energiser working. The indicator light or
fence monitor should be pulsing or ashing. As the raptor has an in built fence monitor and
this should be operating at all times. If the display is red it is indicating that the energiser
is under heavy load from the fence system. If you switch the energiser off, disconnect the
wires from the terminals and turn it back on, the load will be removed and the monitor should
ash green. This indicates that the problem is somewhere on the fence system. Flash test
- disconnect the croc clips from the fence and ground stake. Clip the croc clips together
making sure the metal jaws contact each other. Slowly draw them apart - you should get a
short (1-2mm)spark jumping from one to the other. Use a Tester - disconnect completely
from the ground stake and fence and take a reading across the terminals. Depending on the
model of energiser you should have a reading between 7 and 10kv.
Low voltage - If there is high voltage on your ground stake it is missing from your fence line.
The greater the depth and surface area under the ground the more efciently your ground
stake will collect the pulse as it returns through the earth. If you get a shock from your ground
stake, or your tester shows voltage when touched to the ground stake, you can improve
your whole system by adding further ground stakes. Link additional ground stakes with wire,
spacing them about a metre apart.
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 efciency of the fence. Greater metal content means greater
efciency. 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 ne, the problem will be somewhere on your fence line!
