What is Adaptive Control?
Your SmartPower Energizer operates with Adaptive Control. Adaptive Control increases Stored Energy as fence
load increases (e.g. due to grass growing on the fence). A minimum 6.5kV Output Voltage for the MBX2500 and
MBX1500 in countries other than Europe (5.2kV Output Voltage for the MBX2500 and 6.3kV for the MBX1500
in Europe) is maintained, until the energizer is overloaded. This ensures maximum shock is always delivered,
maintaining effective animal control.

Stored Energy
Stored Energy indicates how hard the energizer is working to deliver maximum Output Voltage. When your fence
is in good condition the energizer requires less energy. Minimum Stored Energy for the MBX2500 is 5 Joules
and MBX1500 is 3 Joules. As your fence becomes more heavily loaded, Adaptive Control delivers more energy -
MBX2500 up to a maximum of 25 Joules and MBX1500 a maximum of 15 Joules. If the energizer cannot maintain
at least 3kV Output Voltage then the fence is in poor condition. Immediate fence maintenance is required.
If additional fence is connected, the level of Stored Energy will indicate whether the energizer is able to cope with
the extra load. If you have a well maintained fence and the energizer is operating at maximum energy but not
maintaining an Output Voltage of 3kV, you need to upgrade to a larger energizer.
Output Voltage and Alarm
If Output Voltage drops below 3kV (default setting), when at maximum Stored Energy, then the alarm is
activated. The Output Alarm light and internal buzzer will turn on and remain on until the alarm is cleared. This
alarm indicates the fence system is heavily loaded and
at risk of being inadequate for effective animal control.
Urgent fence maintenance is required. The alarm can
be set to 2kV, 3kV, 4kV or disabled via the switches
on the back of the energizer:

battery.
Your SmartPower Energizer can be used with a solar panel. Permanently installed solar powered energizers are best
placed in the centre of the area to be fenced. Choose an area with no shadows on the equator side and face the
panel towards the equator.
Mount the solar installation where there is no risk of the leads being chewed by animals.
For solar systems test the battery every 12 months because rechargeable batteries can lose storage capacity over
time. For more information about operating SmartPower with a solar system, contact your Gallagher dealer.
