HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS

The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one second apart.
These pulses give the animal a short, sharp, but safe shock. The shock doesn't harm
the animal. It is suffi ciently memorable that the animal never forgets the shock,
and will avoid the fence.
Europe only:
This me delayed electric fence energizer has a delay me of 20 seconds a er a
change in load on the fence, before it can increase its maximum output energy.
Warning: The energizer must wait 20 seconds a er power up to be in normal
opera on. A sudden increase in load is indicated by a slow pulse rate, an internal
buzzer and solid red on the Fence Fault LED, for 15 minutes or un l the load is
removed.

Practical Hints

• Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require a permit
before use.
• Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds or shrubs
because these will cause the fence to short out and will reduce animal
control.
• All animals need me to learn to respect the fence. It may take several days to
train the animal and the fence may require minor adjustments.
• Animals that are prone to jumping may be diffi cult to confi ne. You may need
to try diff erent fence heights to determine the best height.
• Use top quality insulators: low quality or cracked insulators and plas c tubing
are not recommended because they will cause shor ng.
• Use joint clamps on all steel wire connec ons to ensure a high quality circuit.
• This energizer must be earthed using galvanised metal earth stakes to ensure
the electric fence works correctly.
• Double Insulated Cable should be used in buildings, under gateways and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanised wire. Never use household
electrical cable. It is made for a maximum of 600 volts and will leak electricity.
• On permanent power fencing, use high tensile 12.5 gauge (2.5 mm) wire.
