WARNING
Please read all instructions before using the Energizer
DO NOT connect the fence to any other electric device.
• Lightning may strike your fence. A severe electric shock hazard exists to anything connected
to the fence or in near proximity to the grounding system.
• If connecting Energizer to AC power source, only use the provided AC adapter. The Energizer
connected to AC power shall be covered adequately to protect it from rain, snow or other moisture.
Keep out of reach of children.
• DO NOT Charge the battery with a battery charger while the Energizer is connected.
Disconnect and remove battery if re-charging is necessary.
• DO NOT connect more than one Energizer to the fence at one time.
• DO NOT connect two fences to the same Energizer.
• Keep fence at least 2 yards away from other fences with metal posts.
• DO NOT connect Energizer to barbed wire or razor wire.
• DO NOT install fence or grounding system within 10 yards of electrical power lines,
telephone lines, or telecommunications equipment.
• If running leads underground, use insulated wire and conduit rated for a minimum of 12,000 volts.
Prevent water from entering conduit.
• Keep young children away from the electric fence at all times.
• DO NOT touch the fence with head, neck or torso.
• DO NOT climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or disconnect
the fence wires to cross.
• DO NOT put electric fence in areas of public access.
• Clearly mark the electric fence in several locations if located where people unfamiliar with the
fence may come into its proximity. Check your local and state laws regarding placement of electric
fences.
• Keep fence clear of obstructions or other objects that could potentially cause a person or
animal to become entangled in the fence.
• DO NOT use a water pipe, well, or your main power system ground as the ground for your
Energizer. If lightning were to strike the fence, the current could travel through the system causing a
severe electrical shock hazard.
• Place the grounding rod in a location that will not cause a person or animal to trip into fence or be
trapped between the ground wire and the fence.
• Always mount the Energizer securely such that it will not fall if bumped by an animal or person.
• Disconnect Energizer if conditions are extremely dry and represent high risk of fire.
• Keep combustible materials away from fence, Energizer and battery.

Operator’s Manual
This manual is designed to ensure you achieve optimum results from your Electric Fence Energizer.
To ensure maximum output with minimum complications and optimum safety, we advise you to
follow the guidelines carefully concerning the correct installation of your fence energizer and the
required earthing system. Anything less will substantially affect the performance of the energizer
and can result in unnecessary complications and installation expense.
About the electric fence energizer
This Electric Fence Energizer is a comprehensive perimeter or strip fencing energizer and is an ideal
solution for those who want a simple, efficient and cost-effective system to power their fences.
It is easy to install and can be operated using either AC mains power, 12 volt (v) deep cycle
lead-acid/gel battery or in conjunction with a 30/40/50 or other watt (w) solar panel, making this a
suitable system for larger scale settings where no mains power is available. As a combination, fixed
or portable system, the Electric Fence Energizer provides flexibility with pasture management and is
the ideal solution for short or long-term animal control or rotational crop grazing
How does an electric fencing system work?
An electric current, generated from an energizer
which is earthed, travels along a fence wire as a
pulse. The circuit between the fence and the ground
is completed when an animal touches the fence
wire and consequently receives a short, sharp but
safe shock. This provides enough of a deterrent to
an animal, making the electric fence a psychological
barrier rather than a physical one.

4.2 Install the energizer
1. Mount the energizer on a wall ,under cover ,out of reach of children .install where there is no
risk of the energizer incurring fire ,mechanical , or water damage and if possible away from
heavy electrical equipment,(e.g. pumps or other item that may cause electrical interference).
Noted: install the energizer in a frequently accessed place, the output bar graph gives valuable
information that can save time and help prevent costly problems.
2. Choose a mounting surface of sufficient strength,(e.g. stud , dwang or plywood panel).
Mounting surface needs to be robust and of sufficient thickness to properly contain the
mounting screws. On the mounting surface , mark where the screw for the top keyhole of the
mounting bracket is to be fixed . ensure this is at the correct mounting height you require for
the energizer, Drill a small pilot fixing hole. Install the tek fixing screws and check the clearance
for the mounting bracket to slide over the screw head.
3. Carefully hang the energizer over the screw
Permanent inside installation
Drill 2 holes on the horizontal. Fix the screws (not supplied) leaving a 4mm gap between the
head of the screw and the wall. Once in place, line the back of the energizer with the mounting
screws and slide down into place.

3.3 Install the earthing system
Poor earthing is the most common reason for poor electric fence performance.
It is very important to have a high quality earth system.
This is a vital component of any powered fence system. Electrons travelling from the Energizer must
complete a circuit in order to give the animal an electric shock. From the Energizer, electrons travel
along the insulated fence wires, through the animal’s body, through the soil to the earthing system
– a number of connected earth stakes that absorb electrons in the soil - then return to the Energizer.
If an electric fence is not earthed correctly, it will be much less effective – see table bellow.
Known factors What happens? What’s the solution?
Dry, sandy pumice
soil types
Allows electrons to disperse
rather than be absorbed
completely by earthing stakes.
Reduces
effectiveness.
 If possible, choose a better location or an
alternative method of earthing such as a
bentonite salt earth system
 Consider additional earthing stakes
 Water earthing system to improve soil
conductivity
Weeds/vegetation
touching live fence
wires
Electrons leak causing fence
circuit to ,“short” and voltage
to drop
 Check entire fence lines regularly
Weed/grass management to ensure
nothing touches the fence wires
 Trim back over-hanging tree branches
which may also touch the fence wires
Rusty or corroded
earthing stakes
Do not conduct electrons  Use clean, GALVANISED or copper
coasted earth stakes
Animal urine and
manure
Long term exposure corrodes
earth stakes
 Site earthing system away from animal
excreta
Interference Ensure
the earthing system
is sited at least 10
Interference  Ensure the earthing system is sited at
least 10 m away from any mains earth
system and 20 m from any dairy-shed
pipework
Steel or iron-clad
buildings
Interference  Do not connect earthing system to metal
buildings
Machinery
or livestock
Can damage components of
earthing system
 Position earthing system away from
livestock or other traffic thoroughfares
Mixed metals within
the earthing system
Electrolysis , causing some
components of the earthing
system to corrode
 Do not mix metals of differing
conductivity e.g. never use copper wire
directly onto galvanized earth stakes
Table 2: Factors known to affect an earthing system

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL
- 11 -
Location of the earthing system
The following examples are to help you locate a suitable position for your earthing system given a
variety of conditions:
1. All live earthing system: Recommended where the soil is highly conductive, i.e. most moist soils.
2. Earth-wire return earthing system: Where soils are not conductive e.g. dry, sandy, pumice soils
as well as frozen soils or snow conditions, an earth-return wire should be used in conjunction
with the earthing system – as per diagram
3. Bentonite salt earthing system: A known alternative for extremely dry soil conditions. A mixture
of bentonite and coarse salt (10 lbs bentonite : 5 lbs coarse salt, mixed into a slurry) is placed in
and around each earth stake. The salt attracts moisture making it highly conductive, while the
bentonite retains moisture over prolonged periods.
Note: For this particular application stainless steel earth stakes are required to prevent salt
corrosion and should be spaced 10 m apart.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL
- 12 -
Earth stakes
1. For normal earthing use clean, GALVANISED / copper plating earth stakes.
2. The Electric Fence Energizer output capacity is 2-5 joules. A minimum of 3 earth stakes is
recommended, each 1-2 m in length. Depending on the location and conditions of the earthing
system, additional stakes may be required.
3. Space the earth stakes at least 3 m apart (10 m apart if using the bentonite salt earthing system)
then drive them deeply into the soil leaving a minimum of 10 centimetres (cms) above ground
level for the single connecting cable Join the earth stakes in a continuous series using clamps
and insulated connecting cable
4. If using the bentonite salt earthing system, use stainless steel earth stakes and space them at
least 10 m apart
Connecting the earthing system to the Energizer
The Electric Fence Energizer comes with an earthing cable suitable for portable powered fencing
which can be connected as follows:
1. Unscrew the BLACK cap on the Energizer unit
2. Insert the rod of the GREEN earthing cable through the hole of the screw
3. Replace the BLACK cap, tighten to secure the rod in place
4. Attach the GREEN clip at the other end of the cable to one of the EARTH STAKES
5. Test the earthing system
Testing the earthing system
Ideally, you should perform this test at least ONCE each year and also during any dry season. This
ensures the earthing capacity is sufficient to meet the demands of the Electric Fence Energizer. To
perform the test you will need:
Several steel rods or lengths of pipe Fence tester, galvanised metal stake at least 200 mm in length
1. Turn OFF the Energizer.
2. Using several steel rods or lengths of pipe, short circuit the fence by laying these against the
fence at least 100 m away from the Energizer. In dry or sandy soil conditions, drive the rods up
to 30 cms into the soil.
3. Turn ON the Energizer.
4. Measure the fence voltage using the fence tester. The reading should be 2kv or less. If not, put
more steel rods against the fence.
5. Now, check the earthing system by fully inserting the earth probe of the fence tester into the
surrounding soil and attach the clip to the last earth stake. The reading should be no more than
0.2 kv. If the reading is higher, the earthing system is insufficient and you should recheck the
entire system thoroughly.

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL

4.4 Lead-out from the energizer
The lead-out cable/wire, which can be installed overhead or underground, carries the electric
current from the Energizer to the fence. In order to maintain the full level of power, the lead-out
cable/wire should have as little resistance as possible.
Connecting the lead-out cable from the Energizer to the fence
The Electric Fence Energizer comes with a short length, low resistance lead-out cable which can be
connected as follows:
 Unscrew the RED cap on the Energizer unit
 Insert the rod of the RED lead-out cable through the hole of the screw
 Replace the RED cap, tighten to secure the rod in place
 Attach the RED clip at the other end of the cable, to the FENCE WIRE
Longer length lead-out cable/wire
Should you require a longer length lead-out cable/wire than the one supplied then you must
consider the following:
 Choose lead-out cable/wire with low resistance i.e. the larger the diameter, the lower the
resistance
 Table shows that a 2.5 mm or 12 gauge (g) wire has 2½ times the resistance than 4.0 mm or 8 g
wire. Remember, the lower the resistance, the better
 Longer length lead-out cable/wire increases resistance leading to voltage loss
 DO NOT use household electrical cable. It is intended for low voltage use only
 NEVER use copper wire. Where copper joins galvanized wire, electrolysis occurs, destroying the
wire
 NEVER use barbed wire
 Use insulated cable, particularly if there is a possibility of contact with any earthing point
Wire size Resistance of wire (ohms/km)
Gauge（g） Wire diameter(mm)
8 g 4.0 mm 14 ohms/km
10 g 3.15 mm 22 ohms/km
12.5 g 2.5 mm 35 ohms/km
14 g 2.0 mm 54 ohms/km
16 g 1.6 mm 85 ohms/km
Table 3: DC resistance in ohms of a single galvanized steel fence wire over 1 km
Other helpful hints:
 If running lead-out cable underground, feed it through a piece of plastic hose or pipe before
burying. This not only gives the lead-out cable protection but acts as a warning to anyone who may
dig in the area in the future
 DO NOT install lead-out wire close to the ground where potential “leakage” through vegetation
will result in voltage loss
 Keep stray wires well away from the lead-out cable/wire

4.5 Post and wire spacings
Ideally, plan the fence line, avoiding rough, stony or steep areas. Build the fence with all wires
electrified to control your animal type. As a guide, the smaller the animal the more wires required,
for example; cattle 1-3 wires, sheep 4-5 wires and for goats and sheep, ensure the bottom wire is
150 mm above ground level to prevent them escaping beneath the fence line. The following are
some suggestions for post and wire spacings :
For more information on fence construction, please refer to our after sales department for tips on
Permanent Powered Fencing and Temporary Powered Fencing
4.6 Warning sign
A warning sign shall be fitted to every point where persons may gain ready access to the
conductors .Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non electrified gate shall be
incorporated in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be
provided. At any such crossing, the adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs.
Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be
identified at frequent intervals by warning signs securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly
clamped to the fence wires.
The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign and have a height
of at least 1” (25 mm).
4.7 Safety requirements
4.7.1. NEVER use more than ONE Energizer on one fence at any given time
4.7.2. The earthing system must be at least 10 m from the mains electrical earth
4.7.3. Try to avoid electric fence wires passing under or parallel to overhead power lines,
telephone lines or cables
4.7.4. If the crossing is unavoidable, make it as close to a right angle as possible
4.7.5. Electric fences near or under power lines should be no higher than 2 m (6 ft 8 ins)
4.7.6. All wires should be at least 5.5 m (18 ft) above ground when crossing a public road
4.7.7. Don’t use power poles to support electric fence or lead-out cable/wire
4.7.8. Electric fences bordering public walkways require regulation warning signs Regulation is
200 mm x 100 mm with 25 mm lettering
4.7.9. Signs should be located within 20 m of each end of the fence. Additional signs need to be
100 m apart on an electric fence which is adjacent to a public road or thoroughfare and 50 m in
urban areas
4.7.10. Under no circumstances should barbed or razor wire be electrified
4.7.11. Lightning Protection - If lightning strikes your electric fence it will damage your Energizer.
In areas prone to severe lightning, installing an earthing system to include a lightning diverter is
essential. These are generally available from your local Farm Supply Company. The lightning
diverter has its own earthing system which provides an alternative path for the lightning that
strikes the fence to reach the ground. It consists of separate earthing stakes from the Energizers
earthing system, (minimum of 3), and should be installed at least 20 m away from it. However,
incorporating a lightning diverter is not a guarantee for total protection, particularly when
there is a direct lightning strike to the fence or the energizer itself. Alternatively, completely
disconnect the energizer from the power source and earthing system during lightning storms.

5．Trouble-shooting
A fence tester, is an essential piece of equipment required to monitor the electrical output along
the fence line, perform regular maintenance checks along the fence-lines as well as assisting to find
faults quickly and easily, should they occur. If your fence-line is registering less than the
recommended 3000 v on your fence tester then check the following:
Possible cause Action
Energizer itself
 If you require the energizer to power up greater distances, you will need to try a
more powerful Energizer. Alternatively, re-plan your powered fence system to
within the maximum capacity of the Energizer. Additional fence requirements will
require a second unit
 Check the power supply:
Mains power - check the system is plugged in and switched on
-ensure all leads/cables are properly connected
Battery -check battery life and amount of stored energy
-revert to mains power if battery level below 10.8 v
Solar/Battery -check battery life and amount of stored energy
-change to back-up battery if level low or mains power if possible or
charge the battery on mains power
Earthing
System
 Ensure there are a minimum of 3 earth stakes, more if soil conditions warrant it
 Earth stakes must be at least 2 m long
 Check that earth stakes are spaced 3 m apart and buried deeply in the soil
 Check all connections to the earth stakes are secure
 It is vital that all components of the earthing system are made of the same metal
 Ensure the position for the earthing system is damp, preferably shaded and
high-mineral
content soil, if not, resite the earthing system
 If there is a severe dry period, you may need to water the earthing system or
consider
alternatives such as re-siting your earthing system or using a bentonite/salt
mixture – refer
to page 6
Lead-out
cable/wire
 Check the connection to the Energizer is secure
 If using a longer length lead-out cable/wire to the one supplied, ensure a large
diameter,low resistance, cable/wire. Do not use household electrical cable, copper
wire or barbed wire
 Ensure the wire is sufficiently insulated, particularly if sited underground
 Check there are no stray wires and no vegetation touching the lead-out wire
 Check all cable joins to ensure connections are insulated and secure

Fence line  Walk the entire fence perimeter tracing a fence tester along the line, checking
about every
100 m. If the short is serious the voltage will continue to drop until the fault is
reached
 Check all joins in the wire to ensure they are secure
 Check the fence wire itself for any signs of corrosion
 Vegetation touching the fence line is the greatest cause of voltage loss. Maintain
fence
lines, ensuring weeds, low hanging branches and other vegetation growth are kept
away
from the fence lines. Ensure the wire position and tension is adequate to keep the
lines
above any vegetative growth
Radio
interference
 Ensure the earthing system is highly conductive
 Install the Energizer away from any mains power earthing system
 Make certain the Energizer earth wire does not touch a building or anything
which could act as an aerial
 Keep all radios and similar equipment away from the Energizer
 Ensure the mains power supply is properly earthed and all components are in
good condition
 Keep vegetation away from the Energizer itself
Telecommunic
ation
interference
can be
detected by
either:
i) Clicking
noises on
the telephone
line ii) Slow or
variable
internet
connection
 Know where the telecommunications cables are. This includes buried and
overhead lines. You may need assistance here from your local telecommunications
company
 DO NOT run the lead-out cable/wire or the fence wires, for any distance in
parallel with telecommunications wires
 Lead-out cable/wire and fence wire must be sited at least 100m away from
telecommunications lines
 Ensure the earthing system is sited at least 10m from telecommunications lines
and other earthing systems
 Check all wires and connections along the entire perimeter of the powered fence
system and ensure they are in good condition
 If the fault persists, find an alternate route for the lead-out cable/wire and fence
wire so that it runs away from the telecommunications lines rather than alongside
them

6 . Maintenance
For a safe reliable electric fencing system, we recommend you follow these helpful tips:
6.1. Regularly wipe down the unit with a soft damp cloth to ensure that there is no build-up of
mould etc.
6.2. Do not use any abrasives which may damage the coating of the Energizer
6.3. Clean any connections and terminals which may be showing signs of corrosion
6.4. Perform a thorough test of the earthing system at least ONCE each year and also during any
dry season
6.5. Inspect fence lines regularly, clearing any weeds, low hanging branches or other vegetation in
direct contact with the wire
6.6. Check fence wire positions and tensions to ensure they are adequate to keep the fence lines
above vegetative growth
6.7. Ensure all fence wire insulators are intact and in good condition
