Installation of ELEPHANT Energizer
Before you start the installation of the energizer
it is important that you study this installation
guide carefully. Correct installation is essential
if you want to achieve optimal functionality of
your Energizer.
Positioning of the Heliopan fence
To achieve the best result, the solar panel
should be facing towards the south, and
Heliopan positioned so that it does not fall in
the shade, e.g. from trees, during the day. You
should also make sure that no other vegetation
grows up around the solar panel.
Installing the battery
Check that the ON/OFF button is turned off.
Force the handle of the fencer towards the
terminals. In this position the top section can
be removed.
Connect red battery wire to "+"
Connect black battery wire to "-"
Installing the earth rod
Assemble the 2-part earth rod and the black
wire. Press the earth rod into the ground. Place
the Energizer above. Connect the black wire to
the earth terminals on the energizer.
Fencing Wire Connection
Connect the red wire between the fence
terminals on the energizer and the fence wire.
Testing your fence/earth connection
At least a 100 mtrs away from the earthing
system, measure with a digital voltmeter
(art.nr.:4002227) if the current is more than
3000 V. Create a short circuit by putting iron
posts against the fence-wire. If the current
measured on the earthing system is more
than 300V more earthing rods need to be
placed (distance 3 mtrs). Repeat the test.

Possible faults
• Poor earth connection
See how to create a perfect earth connection
under "Testing your fence/earth connection".
• Poor wire joints
Poor insulators, especially on iron poles.
Spark flashover on a fence pole can often be
heard clearly.
If the connection to earth, wire joints and
insulators is in working order, you can
assume that the fence is generating an even
current all around the enclosure.
Guarantee
If your energizer is not working properly, you
must dismantle it and return it to where you
bought it. Remember to bring your receipt.
Energizers that are less than 3 years old are
repaired free of charge, on the condition
that the damage has not been caused by
unauthorised intervention or by the device
having been connected to an incorrect
voltage. The guarantee does not cover
misuse, neglect or lightening damage. There
is no guarantee or compensation for indirect
damage.
Important!
During periods the Heliopan is not being
used, it is important to keep the battery
charged. For this purpose an automatic
plug-in charger for 12V batteries is included.
