Low and High power levels.
A low and high power level switch is fitted for extra battery conservation, this is located at the
base of the energiser.
The BD20 can hang on the wire, we recommend a screw or a piece of tie wire be placed and
tied through one of the holes in the mounting lugs, to secure.
When operating from an external 12 volt battery, ensure D cell batteries are removed.
Installing D cell batteries.
The system will operate up to 5 weeks on low power with fresh alkaline D cell batteries (4).
To install D cell batteries, remove rear black plastic cover by gently pulling at the bottom
centre of the black cover outwards, then upwards. This disengages the tapered plastic lug in-
side the black rear cover. The cover simply slides off the main case.
Ensure the D cell batteries are placed in the correct polarity ( direction ) as indicated by labels.
When batteries are in position, simply slide the black rear plastic cover back onto the main
case and firmly push back into position to reengage the plastic tapered lug,
Connecting to an external 12 volt battery.
A 12 volt D.C. battery lead is supplied with the system. Insulated black and red plastic clips
with stainless steel teeth are installed on one end, these connect to the 12 volt battery
terminals. The other end of the lead has a D.C. plug, this simply pushes into the D.C. socket
located at the base of the energiser, next to the low / high power switch.
Connection to earth stake and fence / live wire.
A green earth lead with an insulated clip and a ring is supplied, simply undo the green earth
knob from the terminal at the base of the energiser and place the ring over the bolt. Screw the
green knob back onto the terminal bolt firmly, to connect ring end.
Clip the green insulated clip to the galvanised earth stake that has been driven into the ground.
A red fence / live wire lead with an insulated clip and a ring is supplied, undo the red knob
from the fence terminal at the base of the energiser, place ring over the terminal bolt and
tighten red knob firmly against ring end.
Connect the red clip to the live insulated wire.
