Understanding Your Energizer - Gallagher M600 Notice D'installation

UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGIZER

"Power On" Light
Green light constant - Normal opera on
Output Voltage Bargraph
Green
The output voltage bargraph will pulse with every Energizer pulse. Each
colour segment gives an approximate indica on of the fence performance.
Yellow
The Graph is read in the following manner:
Red
Green Segments
Yellow Segments
Red Segments
Use this bar graph for quick indica on of your Energizer and Fence performance. For
more accurate readings refer to your Output Voltage LCD.
Output Voltage and Alarm
Output voltage indicates the quality of your fence system - the higher
the voltage the be er the animal control. If Output Voltage drops below
2kV (default se ng), then the alarm is ac vated. The Output Alarm light
will turn on and remain on un l the alarm is cleared. This alarm indicates
the fence system is heavily loaded and at risk of being inadequate for
eff ec ve animal control. Urgent fence maintenance is required.
Earth Voltage and Alarm
Earth Voltage indicates the quality of your earth system - the lower the voltage the
be er the animal control.
The Earth Alarm:
If Earth Voltage rises above 0.5kV, the alarm is ac vated. The Earth Alarm
light will turn on and remain on un l the alarm is cleared. Ideally, under
maximum fence load, the Earth Voltage should be 0.2- 0.3kV. To achieve
this, do the following earth test.
Earth Test:
a) Turn the energizer OFF.
At least 40m (130 ) along the fence, drive a steel stake into the soil (enough to
reach moist soil) and connect it to the live wire.
b) Turn the energizer ON.
Add Earth Stakes (G879) un l you achieve 0.2-0.3kV or less on the earth
reading.
c) Turn the energizer OFF.
Remove the steel stakes from the fence.
