Connecting it all together
Mount the energizer next to an indoor socket
and plug in. Connect connection lead to
your fence and ground terminals (lead is
not included in the pack as power to fence
distance varies).
Mount the energizer next to an indoor
socket and plug in. Connect connection
lead to your fence and ground terminals
(lead is not included in the pack as power
to fence distance varies). The MX600 has
two live terminals, One high power (2) ,
one lower power (3). You can use either
terminal to power one fence or both, to
power two separate fences.

Fence connection
The energizer should be mounted indoors or in a weatherproof environment to a wall socket.
Using insulated HT lead-out or undergate cable, take a line from a red terminal to the fence
one from the green terminal to the ground rod.
Pulse indicator Fence indicator
Connection to the fence
The fence indicator
will fash with the
pulse of the fence
and will indicate
how much effective
voltage you have on
your fence.

The light on the front of the energizer will fash
red with every pulse.

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.
Sound and sight - Most energizers emit an audible tick caused by the fring 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 energizer you should have a
reading between 7000 and 10000 volts .
Low or no ground voltage is best - I 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 efficiently 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.
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 efficiency of the fence. Greater metal content means greater
efficiency. 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 energizer
and ground system is fne, the problem will be somewhere on your fence line!
