Operating instruction for electric fence controller Solarpanel
EN
(10W /20W / 30W)
Energizer has to be turned OFF before any intervention!
WARNING:
Do not leave the switched off pasture fence device in the sun with a
rechargeable battery and a solar panel for a longer period. Why? Becau-
se it could damage the rechargeable battery.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
The solar panel produces electricity as soon as it is exposed to usable sunlight. The pasture fence
device requires consistent electricity - by day as well as by night. The electricity generated in this way
by the panel is stored in a rechargeable 12 V battery, which means the device can operate without
sunlight. The solar panel may not always have a sufficiently large output to completely recharge the
battery - especially during the dark, grey and foggy months (e.g. October to February).
OPTIMAL SOLAR ALIGNMENT AND SETTING
The correct placement of the pasture fence device and the solar panel is crucial for the best possible
operation of the device.
1. POSITION THE PASTURE FENCE DEVICE SO THAT THE PANEL POINTS SOUTH
This position provides the panel with the maximum amount of sunlight even during the less bright
winter days. When placing the device, consider the position of the sun throughout the day and
avoid a location which could cover the device with shade from trees, bushes or high grass.
2. DETERMINE THE CORRECT ANGLE OF INCLINATION FOR THE SOLAR PANEL
The position of the sun over the horizon changes during the year's seasons. As a general recom-
mendation, an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term use in most parts of Europe. Still,
the capability of the solar panel to recharge the battery can be optimised by adjusting the angle,
depending on the season (see figure below). The steeper the angle of inclination, the greater the
cleaning effect during rain or snow.

Sept. & Oct.
During the winter (with the exception of southern Europe), there may not be enough sun hours to
completely charge the battery. Charge the battery externally as soon as the battery indicator flashes
green/red or red.
3. REMOVE DEPOSITS AND DIRT FROM THE SOLAR PANEL AT REGULAR INTERVALS
(specifically along gravel paths), leaves and snow, since these can reduce the performance of the
module for recharging the rechargeable battery.
