Monitor Installation
• The monitor has the internal battery already connected. However it is
a good idea to make sure it is fully charged before use.
With monitor in the OFF position, allow the sun to fully charge the
battery (3 days) to ensure optimal battery life, or use an optional
charger Part No:22-120. (Refer to battery maintenance section)
Note: Make sure the battery is connected before use.
STEP 1: Charge Battery
NOTE: Make sure switch is
in the OFF (0) position.
STEP 2: Insert the SIM card (Must be a 2G card)
• With monitor in the OFF position, remove the SIM cover and insert the
SIM card into the holder. Make sure the cover is replaced correctly.
• Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. (Refer to step 1)
• Switch the Monitor ON. The three coloured lights in the status
window will flash together then stop. It will then flash RED until a
connection is made to the phone network. When the connection is
made the status window will flash green. This could take 45 minutes.
• With the green light ashing text the command REG to register your
phone.
• If you want to use a PIN number when you register your phone you
will need to text the command: REG^xxxxwhere ^is a space and xxxx
a is a four number PIN of your choice.

List of Monitor Commands
REG = Register the phone number with the Monitor.
PIN = Sets the security PIN number.
NOP = Removes the PIN number.
STA = Status of monitor and fence volts.
OPV = Changes the low voltage fence warning level.
STB = Reports the low voltage level setting.
VER = Reports the version number of the GSM software.
BLS = Credit balance setting command.
BLC = Clears the credit balance information.
SET STA = Set time for a daily report to be sent to your phone.
TLO = Sets LOW temperature alert.

RES ALL = Factory reset of Fence Monitor.
Commands
Commands must follow this format. The symbol ^represents a space:
E.g: Command ^ [PIN] ^ [Command extension]
Command = Three letter command from the list below followed by a
space
PIN = Optional. Four digit PIN which must be numeric only (followed
by a space if there is a command extension)
Command extension = Extra information related to the command.
Note 1: TEXT commands must be in UPPER CASE / CAPITAL LETTERS
Note 2: If sending REG to a new unit, omit the PIN as no PIN will have
been set.
Note 3: The space between the command and the PIN must be used.
The symbol ^represents a space.

- 10 -
REG Command.
To pair up or register a sending mobile phone with the Fence Monitor,
text REG to the phone number of the Fence Monitor SIM card.
Only commands from the registered phone will be acted upon by the
Fence Monitor. If REG is sent to the Fence Monitor from a different
phone number, this will replace the existing registered phone (see also
PIN command for extra security).
To register your phone with a secure PIN, text: REG^xxxx where xxxx is
a four digit number.
Note 1: The sending phone should not be anonymous/withheld number.
Note 2: If sending REG for the very first time or if no PIN number has so
far been stored, do not enter anything for the PIN number.
Note 3: Only one phone number at a time can be registered.
PIN Command.
Sets or changes the PIN number stored in the Fence Monitor. The PIN
prevents unauthorized commands from being acted upon by the Moni-
tor and can prevent an unauthorized user from re-enabling the unit in
the event of theft.
When setting the PIN, choose a number combination which is difficult
to guess.
If no PIN is currently stored send PIN^xxxx where xxxx is the PIN you
want to use. e.g. PIN^1234
If a PIN is stored and you wish to change it, send PIN^xxxx^???? where
xxxx is the current PIN and ???? is the new PIN.
The current PIN must match the one already stored.
If a PIN is stored it will be needed with each subsequent command
(except STA).
If a PIN is stored, it will be needed if the REG command is sent from
a new phone. This prevents control of the Monitor device from being
taken over by an unauthorized phone.
Note 1: The PIN is optional but recommended for increased security.
Note 2: If used, the PIN must be 4 numbers.
IMPORTANT: Keep you PIN number safe and do not disclose it.

- 11 -
NOP Command.
Removes the PIN number if one has been set.
Text: NOP^xxxx where xxxx is the current PIN.
Note 1: The current PIN number must match the one stored.
STA Command.
Request a status report from the Fence Monitor.
Text: STA
Note 1: A PIN number is not required for this command
Note 2: There is no alternative response to this command (if the com-
mand is misspelled there will be no response).
OPV Command.
This command allows the fence low warning threshold to be changed.
Text with PIN:
OPV^xxxx^=2 for 2000V
OPV^xxxx^=3 for 3000V
OPV^xxxx^=4 for 4000V
OPV^xxxx^=5 for 5000V where xxxx is the current PIN.
Text without PIN:
OPV^=2 for 2000V
OPV^=3 for 3000V
OPV^=4 for 4000V
OPV^=5 for 5000V
Note 1. A space (^) is required between the OPV command and the
equals sign.
STB Command.
This command reports the fence warning threshold voltage. Use this
command to check what the low warning threshold voltage is set to.
Text: STB^xxxx where xxxx is the current PIN.
VER Command.
This command reports the build date for the software installed in the
Fence Monitor.
Text: VER^xxxx where xxxx is the current PIN.

- 12 -
BLS Command.
When using a Pay-As-You-Go SIM you can include in the status mes-
sages the remaining credit balance available on the account. This can
be achieved when you first activate the SIM. To check the code Insert
the sim into a mobile phone and enter the special sequence of charac-
ters using the keypad. The response should be the balance.
The Fence Monitor has the ability to perform the same function auto-
matically if the special sequence of characters is first sent to it. Use the
BLS command to do this. BLS command is only used for programming
the code,
Refer to the SIM providers documentation (supplied with the SIM) or
the providers web site for the correct sequence.
As an example (at the time of writing) a Vodafone SIM required the
sequence *#1345#. In this case the command would be:
Text: BLS^xxxx^‘*#1345#’ where xxxx is the current PIN.
Note 1. Enclose the special sequence of characters in single quotes.
Note 2. The balance request us usually a free service but check with the
SIM provider before using this command.
Note 3. The true remaining balance will always be one SMS less than
the reported figure.
Note 4. Always top up the credit before it runs out.
BLC Command.
Clears the special sequence of characters used to retrieve the remaining
credit for a Pay-As-You-Go SIM.
Use this command if a Pay-As-You-Go SIM is replaced by a contract
SIM. Text: BLC^xxxx where xxxx is the current PIN.
SET STA Command.
If you wish the Fence Monitor to send an automatic daily fence status
message use the SET STA command.
e.g. Sending the text command: SET^STA^17:00 will make the Fence
Monitor send a status message every day at 5:00 pm.
If using a PIN number the following command should be entered:
SET^xxxx^STA^17:00 (Where xxxx is your PIN number)
NB: If correctly sent the Fence Monitor will send a confirmation text
message. If wrong an ERROR message will be received.

- 13 -
TLO Command.
Sets the LOW temperature warning message.
e.g. Sending the command: TLO^+10 will send an alert if the tempera-
ture drops below 10 oC
Text: TLO^xxxx^+10 where xxxx is the current PIN.
Note 1: The Fence Monitor temperature range is -15 oC -+ 50 oC
UNI FAH or CEL Command.
Changes the temperature reporting option to Celsius or Fahrenheit.
e.g. Sending the command: UNI^FAH will change from C oto F o
e.g. Sending the command: UNI^CEL will change from F oto C o
RES ALL Command.
This command will perform a factory reset returning the Fence Monitor
to original factory conditions.
Text: RES^ALL^xxxx where xxxx is the current PIN.
Note 1: Registered phone number and PIN number will be cleared..
Responses.
The Fence Monitor will send a response to indicate the success or failure
of the command except in the case of the RES ALL command where no
response will be sent (see details in command section below).
Errors.
If a command is not successful one of these errors may be reported in
response.
Unregistered: If a command originates from an unregistered phone
or an anonymous phone it will be ignored and no response sent.
REG is the only command that may originate from an unregistered
phone and be recognized by the Fence Monitor.

- 14 -
Electric Fence Monitoring.
The Fence Monitor will monitor an electric fence which is powered by
any popular make of Electric Fence Energiser which gives output pulses
between 1 and 5 second intervals.
The Fence Monitor has a maximum measuring capability of 8,500V.
If an electric fence has a higher voltage than this it will still be dis-
played as 8,500V.
If the electric fence fails completely a warning message will be sent
saying “Fence Volts: below 500V”
Incorrect PIN “PIN error” A PIN was required but either not entered or
entered incorrectly.
Warnings:
(1) Mobile phone network issues can delay sent/received messages.
(2) Isolate the Fence Monitor from the fence before handling it or mak-
ing connections to it.

Remove/Replacing the Fence Monitor Battery
Battery Maintenance
Battery Maintenance
• A low battery can be recharged by removing the battery and
using a 6-volt charger (part no. 22-120).
• When not in use, fully charge the battery before storage.
Warning: Do not charge the solar powered electric fence Monitor
battery with an automobile battery charger as this will damage the
battery.
The normal life of the internal battery is typically three to four years
provided it is properly maintained. A solar fence monitor that is being
stored should be placed in the sun for three days every three months
to recharge the battery. Any fence monitor in use that doesn’t receive
sunlight for a period of two weeks should be recharged for three days in
sunlight with the monitor turned OFF.
NOTE: Battery comes pre-installed.

GSM status Indicator.
No light : The Monitor function is not working (possibly because
the internal emergency supply is still charging). Wait up
to 45 minutes for it to fully charge.
Red flashing: The Fence Monitor is initializing. This may take several
minutes. If this indicator continues to flash for more
than several minutes it may be because there is no
mobile phone signal, the mobile phone network is busy
or there is a problem with the SIM or Monitor. Try
relocating the unit away from obstructions like metal
structures or low points in the terrain. If the problem
persists try another working SIM or test the SIM in a
mobile phone. If necessary return the unit to the point of
purchase for repair.
Green
flashing: The Fence Monitor is ready.
Rapid green
Flashing: An SMS (text) message is being sent or received.
Yellow
Flashing: Between 1 and 5 seconds indicates the fence energisers
pulsed voltage is present. If the indicator is flashing
with 3 consecutive rapid flashes then the internal
battery needs attention. Refer to Battery Maintenance
section.
Note: In the case of a contracted SIM the mobile number for your Fence
Monitor is supplied to you during the SIM card registration process.

- 17 -
Fence Line Maintenance
• Regularly test voltage at the furthest point on the fence line from the
energiser – we recommend Rutland digital tester 14-172 or 8-light
tester 14-173
• Routinely check all fence and
earth connections to ensure they
are sound
• For best performance, keep fence
line free of vegetation
• Keep insulators free from dirt,
dust and cobwebs
