Troubleshooting Mr2500; Pos Si Ble Cause(S) - Gallagher PowerPlus MR2500 Notice D'installation

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 or Remote Capable Energizer or
b) reverse the connection by placing the earth stake on the live fence wire and the brass terminal on the earth.
NOTE
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
towards where the Remote does not work. A Smartfix (G5090) or Digital Volt Meter (G5030) will assist. Use
Joint Clamps (G6030) to ensure good wire connections.
5. The "Power/Standby" light is not flashing on the Energizer. If it is, this means there is high electrical interference
on the fence causing the Energizer to ignore the Remote Control signal. Refer to "Remote Control electrical
interference" section above.

Use Remote to switch Energizer ON
again or reset the power supply.

Test power point
Have Energizer repaired
Improve the earth system by adding more galvanised
earth stakes to the earth system until the earth voltage is
200V or below.
Check the electrical con nec tions are secure, eg. from the
fence to the red terminal, from the earth system to the
green terminal, at gates etc.
Check the voltage on the fence every 33m (100ft) using
the Digital Volt Meter (G5030). Note if the voltage is
dropping. The closer to a fault, the lower the voltage
reading will be. Become aware of things that cause faults
and always be on the lookout for: stray pieces of wire on
the fence, heavy vegetation growth, cracked or broken
in su la tors, broken wires.
Unplug the Energizer from the power supply and remove
the fence wire from the Red terminal. Plug Energizer
in again. Using a Digital Volt Meter (G5030) check the
voltage across the ter mi nals. If the voltage is less than
5000V, have Energizer repaired.
