ELECTRIC FENCE ENERGIZER INSTALLATION (CONT.) PAGE 6
Installation STEP 5: Energize your fence
Put the energizer switch in the ON position. Wait for it to go through its Easy Battery Check
mode. Next, there will be about a 3 second time with no light flashing, prior to producing
high voltage pulses. The red light should flash about once every 1.5 seconds for a fully
charged battery, but for a low battery it can flash as slowly as every 2 seconds due to the
Battery Saver mode.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you buy an electric fence digital volt meter. This is the
only way to be confident about the fence voltage.
SOLAR PANEL MAINTENANCE
Every few months use a damp cloth (with water only) and a dry cloth to clean the solar panel.
This will help maximize solar panel efficiency. If snow gets on the solar panel simply wipe it
off. When the energizer is to be stored (for more than 4 days) use something dark to cover
the solar panel (to prevent it from overcharging the battery). When storing the energizer,
place the energizer in strong direct sunlight for 2 days, every 4 months, with the switch in the
“CHARGE” position. Put switch back into the “OFF” position for storage.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The solar energizer battery is pre-
installed and already tested and
connected, from the factory. The easiest
way to charge the 6V battery is to follow
the battery charging instructions in step
1 of the installation procedures, using
the sunlight. If you put the charger in full
sun for 5 days, and the battery voltage
is still under 5.75V, then you may need
to replace the battery, but you should
only have to do this after several
years of use. To replace the battery refer
to the following drawings. Remove the
battery door, slide the battery door in
the direction of the arrow, and then pull
it out. Carefully disconnect the red and
black wires (Hold onto the connector).
Replace it with another 6V, 4.5Ah
sealed lead acid rechargeable battery.
Carefully connect the red wire to the
red (+) battery terminal and the black
wire to the black (-) battery terminal, or
damage may result. Put the battery in
the compartment, put it back into the
energizer, and tighten the screw.

1. 12-14 gauge galvanized
fence wire.
2. Ground rods – 4 feet
long by 1/2” (or more) in
diameter, galvanized steel
rods.
IMPORTANT: Avoid SANDY,
DRY and ROCKY soil.
In the many applications
this solar energizer only
requires one 4 foot ground
rod, if the fence is 1 acre
or less. If the soil is dry, then
either 2 or 3 ground rods may
be needed.
Installation STEP 4: Connect the fence hot (red knob) terminal
Note: Ensure the energizer switch is in the OFF position before making this connection.
1. Refer to the red fence terminal knob on the front/bottom of the energizer. This is the red
knob that is marked with a small lightning bolt on the front label.
2. Unscrew the fence terminal knob without fully removing it. Make a “J” shape in a bare
end of hook-up wire, wrap this bare end of wire around the fence terminal bolt, and
hand tighten the red knob. 10 to 14 gauge insulated lead-out wire (rated at 20,000V) is
commonly used for this.
3. Properly connect the other end of the wire to your electric fence. A split bolt line tap is
a common means of connection. Refer to the WIRE SPLICING AND CONNECTIONS
diagram for other connection means.
CAUTION: Only hand-tighten the fence terminal knobs on the energizer. DO NOT use
pliers or other mechanical means or they may be over-tighten, and damage may occur
that will void your warranty.

For best results when connecting electric
fence wire, polywire or polytape, only use
the following methods to protect your
fence wire from corrosion and increase
the reliability of full power being distributed
to the rest of your electric fence.
Wire Connections
Split Bolt
Wire Tap
Wire Splicing
Sleeve
When joining fence wire anywhere on the
fence, be sure to use a Figure 8 or Reef Knot.
See Below.

Knotting Polywire
When knotting polywire, be sure to double
the ends of the connecting fence wire.
Then tie a Slip Knot, as shown below.
Pull Wire
to Tighten
To connect polytape, first start with a
standard knot. Be sure to leave between
3-4” of extra tape. Peel back around 2.5”
of the tape, exposing the conductive wires.
Twist the two wires together to make the
connection complete.
