TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Gallagher Recommends:
• Posion energizer in direct sunlight and located so that no shadows will fall on the
solar panel at any me during the day.
• Face the solar panel towards the equator to achieve maximum exposure to
sunlight (i.e. directly south in the northern hemisphere or directly north in the
southern hemisphere).
• Install solar energizers on a post above the ground.
• Keep the solar panel clean (e.g. from dirt) - periodically use a so cloth with water
and a mild detergent.
• Test voltage on the fence using a Gallagher Fence Volt Meter (G50301).
• Turn energizer o before handling fence or baery connecons.
