Monitoring the earth
If the first Indicator light is illuminated permanently, this indicates that
the earth voltage is over 0.8 kV and that better earthing may be
beneficial. Either add more earth rods or find a better location for the
energizer earth system. The small digits on the LCD display show the
voltage going to the earth system when the selector switch is set to
, , or . The earth voltage should remain below 0.8 kV at
all times. If the earth monitor voltage numbers flash 3.0 kV, this
indicates the earth voltage is above 3.0 kV. See
an earth system
on page 8 for information about installing an earth
system effectively.
Testing the battery voltage
The energizer's Battery Test setting can be used to monitor the battery
voltage.
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test
show the input supply voltage. This can be useful in order to monitor
the battery charge level.
Note:
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test

Full battery charge voltage
(80-100%):
• No action required.
Medium battery charge
voltage (50-80%):
• No action required.
Low battery charge voltage
(20-50%):
•
Monitor battery voltage.
• Recharge the battery to
avoid long-term damage
to the battery.
Bad battery charge voltage
(10-20%):
•
Recharge the battery
immediately.
• Energizer will
automatically revert to
Slow Speed and Low
Output Power in order to
preserve the remaining
power and energy in the

The battery test results will display for 30 seconds after the selector
switch is set to Battery Test
12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, X6i and 406i energizers
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test
displays the input supply voltage.
When the voltage is outside the normal range (below 11.8 V or above
17 V), the battery symbol flashes.
During normal operation, when the selector switch is set to
or , if the battery voltage is bad, the battery symbol on the LCD
display flashes. Recharge the battery immediately.
Battery selection and management
This section refers exclusively to 12 V rechargeable batteries.
The batteries you select will depend on whether your installation is a
solar or a battery-only installation. For both types of installation, the
selector switch position you use most frequently will be a factor. Refer
Operation
to on page 4 for an explanation of the function of the
selector switch.
Battery selection for a battery-only installation
As a guide, the amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V rechargeable batteries
required is shown below. This table is based on a 21 day operating
period between battery charging. Although operating time can exceed
21 days, this is likely to cause battery damage and will necessitate
frequent replacement of the battery. For best system reliability and long
term battery life, the preferred battery and charging regime is to use a
12 V rechargeable battery and to recharge it when it is half discharged.
For more information on checking the battery voltage, see
battery voltage
on page 5.
