UNDERSTANDING YOUR SMARTPOWER REMOTE CONTROL

How to use your Remote
Your SmartPower Remote Control switches the energizer ON or OFF from anywhere the fence is powered.
1. For an All Live Wire system: push the earth stake into the ground (for an Earth Wire Return system: place the
earth stake on the earth wire). For reliable performance it is IMPORTANT to achieve a good earth.
2. Place the brass terminal on the live fence wire.
3. The Remote will indicate energizer pulses by regular, short flashes of the LED.
4. Push the button to switch the energizer ON (Normal Operation) or OFF (Standby).
Your Remote LED gives a long flash (0.8 of a second) to indicate the signal has been transmitted.
Energizer Standby mode
The energizer indicates it is going into or out of Standby by the internal buzzer sounding for 2 seconds. Whilst in
Standby the buzzer sounds every 8 seconds. The ON/Standby light is solid red and all LCDs will display ( ). If the
energizer is in alarm and in Standby the buzzer alternates between being on continuously for 7 seconds, then off for
1/2 second.
When in Standby, mains power is still supplied to internal wiring, but the fence is not live.

IMPORTANT
Remote Control low battery
A flat battery is indicated by the LED giving 5 quick flashes, either when the button is being pushed or the Remote
receives a fence pulse.
Remote Control electrical interference
The energizer has four sensitivity settings at which the energizer will detect the Remote Control signal. The more
sensitive the setting is, the greater the operating range of Remote Control. However, at the high sensitivity levels,
the energizer will be more sensitive to detecting unwanted electrical signals (interference) from nearby electrical
equipment such as overhead power lines, military
activity, radio frequencies, etc. When the energizer
detects electrical interference the ON/Standby light
flashes red and the energizer ignores the Remote
Control signal. In this event, reduce the sensitivity via
the switches on the back of the energizer until the light
stops flashing.
Remote Control codes
The energizer and Remote Control have four different
identity settings. In the event that your neighbour
has a Remote Control (as a result your neighbour can
unintentionally switch your energizer in or out of Standby)
you can change the code to another setting via the
switches on the back of the energizer and inside the
Remote Control.
Note: the Remote Control code and energizer code must
match in order for the Remote Control to work.
Remote Control disable
The Remote Control Disable option sets the energizer to ignore all
Remote Control signals and will prevent the energizer from switching
into Standby. This feature can be used when it is important that the
fence must not be accidentally switched into Standby, eg. in a farm
security installation. The Remote Control Disable option is set via
switch 2 on the back of the energizer.
Remote Control damage
Damage to the Remote Control can be caused if you:
a) use the Remote on a fence not powered by a SmartPower Energizer or
b) reverse the connection by placing the earth stake on the live fence wire and the brass terminal on the earth.
If your Remote Control does not switch the Energizer ON or OFF, check:
1. You are getting a good earth connection with your Remote Control. Use damp ground or connect the remote
earth stake to a larger earth, like earth wire or iron fence stake.
2. The Energizer earth is good.
3. There is not a large short on the fence near where you are trying to operate the remote control. The remote is
like a small energizer. The pulses will power through small shorts but have difficulty with large shorts.
4. The fence connections are good. Fault find connections by beginning at the Energizer and progressively working
