Installing the energizer as part of a
solar installation
The energizer may be installed with solar panels as part of a
solar installation.
A solar installation consists of these items:
The energizer
•
A battery (or battery bank)
•
One or more solar panels
•
An energizer earth system.
•
For information about the type of batteries to use for a solar
Battery selection for a solar installation
installation, see
page 11.
The required power rating of the solar panel(s) depends upon
the local conditions. For help with positioning your solar
panel correctly, see the supplier of your solar panel and refer
to your local meteorological service. For more information
about solar installations, refer to your local meteorological
service.
WARNING!
Do not power the energizer with mains/line
power if it is being installed outdoors.
To install the energizer as part of a solar installation:
1 Select a suitable installation site. See
the installation
on page 5. For solar installations, it is
also important to select a site where the solar panel(s)
will not be subject to shading from the sun at any time.
2 Face the solar panel towards true north in the southern
hemisphere and true south in the northern hemisphere.
3 Tilt the panel so that it faces directly on to the mid-
winter midday sun. If necessary, to increase efficiency,
adjust the tilt angle at different times of the year.
4 When the solar panel is positioned correctly, attach the
energizer to the rear of the panel. Alternatively, mount
the energizer on a fence post. Use the template printed
on the back cover of this manual, if required.
5 Connect the Fence earth terminal (green) to the
energizer earth system.
6 If earth monitoring is desired, connect the Fence earth
monitor terminal (black) to a separate earth rod. For
more information, see
7 Connect the Fence high energy terminal (red) or the
Fence low energy terminal (yellow) to the main farm
fence.
Selecting a site for
Earth monitoring
on page 9.
8 If a lower energy output is required on a separate fence
(e.g. house fence, fence adjoining roadside), connect the
Fence low energy terminal (yellow) to this fence.
9 Connect the battery to the solar panel.
10 Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery
leads provided, but replace the battery lead clips with
permanent battery connectors. See
adaptor and battery leads
