Wolseley Sx300 mk ii User manual

Safety Requirements and Regulations

Electric fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to

persons, animals or their surroundings.

●Electric fence constructions, which are likely to lead to entanglement of animals or

persons, shall be avoided.

· An electric fence shall not be supplied from more than one energiser or from independent

fence circuits of the same energiser.

· The gap between two separate electric fences with different energisers shall be at least 2m.

· If this gap is to be closed, this should be affected by means of an electrically non conductive

material.

· Barbed or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energiser.

· Any part of an electric fence which is installed along a public path or highway shall be

identified by warning signs (p/no 33020) securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly

clamped to the fence wires at recommended intervals of approximately 10 metres to 50

metres, but not exceeding 90 metres. Warning signs should be at least 100mm x

200mm with a yellow background. The inscription shall be black and read: TAKE CARE -

ELECTRIC FENCE, it should be indelible and inscribed on both sides, lettering height of

at least 25mm.

· Except for low output battery operated energisers, the energiser earth electrode shall

penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1m.

· Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be effectively insulated from the earth

structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using double insulated high

voltage cable (p/no 31640). Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in a

conduit of insulating material.

· Care shall be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the effects of animal

hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.

· Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring,

communication cables or data cables.

· Connecting leads and electric fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or

communication lines.

· Crossings with overhead cables shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing

cannot be avoided, it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as

possible at right angles to it.

· If connecting leads and electric fences are installed near an overhead power line the

clearances shall be:

1. Power Line Voltage: Under 1000 volts - Clearance: 3 Metres

2. Power Line Voltage: 1000 - 33,000 volts - Clearance: 4 Metres

3. Power Line Voltage: Over 33,000 volts - Clearance: 8 Metres

· If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an overhead power line,

their height above ground shall not exceed 2m. This height applies either side of the

orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the power line on the ground

surface, for a distance of - 2m for power lines not exceeding 1000V - 15m for power

lines exceeding 1000V.

· A distance of 10m shall be maintained between the energiser and any other earth system

such as the household supply system protective earth or the telecom system earth.

· A warning sign as described earlier, 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 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 as described

earlier.

Please retain instructions for future reference.

SX300 Mk II Solar Powered

Energiser

The Wolseley SX300 Mk II is a portable, self-contained solar powered fence energiser,

featuring a unique three-way hybrid system unique to Wolseley. The system combines solar

power, new generation NiMh rechargeable batteries and a standby power back up provided by

Replaceable alkaline “C” cell batteries. These are all fully integrated and the power source is

automatically routed depending on the level of solar energy available.

The Wolseley SX300 Mk II features an auto night-saver mode to ensure full solar recovery of

the rechargeable batteries during daylight hours. If there is a prolonged period of insufficient

daylight to generate solar power, the system will automatically switch to the internal back up

batteries. If there continues to be insufficient daylight to allow recovery of the rechargeable

batteries, the backup batteries will only last for 10—14 days. If these conditions persist, YOU

WILL NEED TO CONNECT THE SX300 TO A 6v, 9v OR 12v BATTERY with the lead kit

provided. The system automatically reverts to the full solar mode as soon as there is sufficient

daylight to generate the energy required.

General Information

Warning: Danger of electric shock!

Handle with care and always ensure the switch is

In the “off” position before handling. Only carry out installation when equipment is

turned off.

2. For safety reasons, never connect this unit to mains operated equipment.

3. Always remove the backup “C” cell batteries when the unit is put into storage.

4. We recommend new alkaline good quality “C” cell batteries are installed every

season.

5. Keep the solar panel clean at all times. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry to a shine to

maintain maximum efficiency.

6. The Wolseley SX300 Mk II is suitable for use with cows, horses, goats, sheep,

chickens, pigs and rabbits.

7. The Wolseley SX300 Mk II can be used with polytape, polywire/rope, galvanised wire

and netting.

8. The warranty form should be completed and returned to Stockshop (Livestock

Equipment) Ltd within 28 days.

Operating Instructions

1. The backup batteries are already fitted. If you need to change them, ensure the

energiser is switched off. Release the bottom cover by squeezing the two black

catches inwards (towards the switch). Pull the cover down to expose the batteries.

Place three new, top quality “C” cell batteries in the housing, observing the correct

polarity. Replace the bottom cover and snap into position over the black catches. (

) Please note it is not possible to change the rechargeable batteries.

2. You will need to purchase an earth stake (P/no 34399). Push the earth stake as far

into the ground as possible – the deeper the stake, the better the earth. Ensure the

earth around the stake is damp. For dry or well drained soil more than one earth stake

may be necessary. In dry areas, several buckets of water around the earth stake may

be necessary to improve its efficiency.

3. Mount the Wolseley SX300 Mk II on the earth stake. Ensure that it is exposed to full

daylight as any kind of shading, even partial, will reduce the efficiency of the unit. For

best results, the angled face should face the rising sun. Keep the tempered glass

panel clean at all times. Connect the green earth lead to the earth stake. Connect the

blue fence lead to the fence line, ensuring a good contact. Make sure there is no

vegetation touching the line. Turn the unit on by sliding the switch on the underside.

4. There are three indicator lights on the Wolseley SX300 Mk II ( ).

·The blue indicator in the middle shows that the system is running. Output is

delivered to the fence each time the blue LED pulses.

·The yellow indicator to the left indicates the level of solar activity within the

system – the brighter the LED becomes, the more solar output is delivered to

the rechargeable batteries. A bright solar indicator also means the batteries

are fully charged.

·The indicator to the right is a battery status indicator that will shine either

green or red. When the fencer is switched on, a green light illuminates for a

few seconds to confirm the backup batteries are in good condition. If the red

light shows, the backup batteries need to be replaced as soon as possible or

the unit needs to be connected to a 6v, 9v or 12v battery.
