The energizer is operating at Slow speed (approximately 2.5 seconds between pulses).

Fast - Day

 

The energizer is operating on Fast setting during the day and Slow setting at night. This setting

Slow - Night

 

is for diurnal livestock and is a useful way of conserving battery power when a battery is being

 

 

used to power the energizer.
Slow - Day

 

The energizer is operating on Slow setting during the day and Fast setting at night. This setting

Fast - Night

 

is for nocturnal livestock and is a useful way of conserving battery power when a battery is

The energizer is operating at Fast speed (approximately 1.5 seconds between pulses).

Reading voltage

The Indicator lights show the voltage at the output terminals of the energizer.

When first connected to the power source, all the Indicator lights illuminate. They then illuminate separately from left to right and back again. This indicates that the energizer is operating normally.

After three seconds, the energizer starts pulsing. Each Indicator light segment represents an increment of approximately 1 kV (1000 V) of output voltage. For example, if the first four Indicator light segments are illuminated at each pulse, the output voltage is approximately 4 kV (4000 V).

Note: If five Indicator light segments are illuminated, the output voltage may be more than 5 kV (5000 V).

After about 20 seconds, the energizer ceases to display the output voltage and one Indicator light segment illuminates each time the energizer pulses.

If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights, your fence line is very heavily loaded, and you will need to look for faults on the fence line. See Frequently asked questions/Troubleshooting on page 10.
