4 Elephant SMART A+D TIME DELAY and POWER MODE
4.1 Elephant SMART general
The energizers of the Elephant SMART series (A+D) all have a TIME DELAY and POWER
MODE function. These energizers continuously monitor the performance of your fencing
and anticipate changes in the fence. In the event of a sudden voltage drop on the fence,
the Elephant SMART switches automatically to TIME DELAY mode and the voltage will be
increased.
4.2 Signals when TIME DELAY and POWER MODE are active
If TIME DELAY is activated,
• the red alarm LED comes on,
• you hear a repeating sound signal (buzzer),
• the standard outgoing pulse time reduces from 1.3 seconds to 1 pulse every 3 seconds,
• the POWER MODE is switched on
The TIME DELAY mode remains switched on for approximately 9 minutes and then the
signals (alarms) go off and the time between the pulses returns to the standard interval of
1.3 seconds. The POWER MODE position that is needed to keep the fence at the highest
possible voltage remains switched on.
Explanation of the POWER MODE positions,
• 05, Normal mode, the energizer works in the standard 5 joule mode.
• 08, POWER MODE, the device will build up to max 8 Joule energy.
• 15, POWER MODE, the device will build up to max 15 Joule energy.
5 Earth connection
5.1 Earth connection general
To connect the earthing it is important to use galvanised materials, because they produce a
good connection. Other material may oxidise. With poor contacts the system does not work
properly and they may cause faults.
Always comply with the earthing instructions!
Important! Make sure the earth pegs are at least 4 metres apart and at least 10 metres away
from any surrounding electrical cabling. Poor earthing may cause interference with telephone,
radio and television lines. There is interference if you hear a clicking noise during a telephone
conversation.
5.2 Positioning the earth peg
Position at least 1x1metre (SMART M series A+D at least 2x2metres) galvanised earth peg
(art. no 055853) if possible in damp ground. In dry conditions or in areas with a low level of
minerals in the soil, you generally need several earth pegs!
Earth pegs should be at least 4 metres apart and at least 10 metres away from electricity
cables, telephone cables, water pipes or earthing of buildings. Never connect an earth cable
to a metal object of a building.
5.3 Fit earth cable
a) Use *1.6mm

sleeve on one side of the earth cable and connect it to the blue left connection knob under
the
symbol of the energizer. Tighten the knob until the wire is clamped down.
b) At the other end of the earth cable, remove approximately 10cm of the plastic sleeve and
connect the released wire with an earth clamp to the earth peg. Tighten the clamp.
