Step 1: Install the Energizer, connect to earth and fence<br />
Follow STEPS 1-3 described on pages 3-4.<br />
Step 2: Connect the battery<br />
Connect the battery leads from the Energizer to the battery: red lead to the (+) terminal of battery, black lead to<br />
the (-) terminal of battery. If connecting more than one battery, connect the batteries in parallel.<br />
Only use a 12V battery which is suited to back-up or cyclic applications. The recommended type is a 12V<br />
deep cycle lead acid rechargeable battery.<br />
WARNING!<br />
When you connect up the battery, the Energizer will start working. Ensure Energizer is turned OFF from the mains<br />
before connecting or disconnecting the battery.<br />
For mains operation with battery back-up:<br />
Follow STEP 4 (Turn the Energizer on): described on page 4. When connected to mains power, the Energizer<br />
trickle charges the battery. In the event of mains power failure, the Energizer will automatically switch to battery<br />
back-up and continue to power the fence.<br />
For battery only operation:<br />
Follow STEP 4 (Turn the Energizer on): from Step b) described on page 4.<br />

ON/Standby Light<br />
Green light flashes - Normal operation<br />
Red light - Standby: Remote Control has switched the Energizer (refer to “Understanding your <strong>SmartPower</strong><br />
Remote Control” section on pages 7-8 for more information)<br />
Red light flashes - Normal operation with electrical interference on the fence<br />
Mains/Battery Light<br />
Green light - Energizer is operating from mains power<br />
Red light - Energizer is operating from battery power<br />
Light flashes between red and green - Low battery or energizer set to Battery Save Mode<br />
What is Adaptive Control?<br />
Your <strong>SmartPower</strong> Energizer operates with Adaptive Control. Adaptive Control increases Stored Energy as fence<br />
load increases (maybe due to grass growing on the fence). A minimum 6.5kV Output Voltage for the MBX2500<br />
and MBX1500 in countries other than Europe (5.2kV Output Voltage for the MBX2500 and 6.3kV for the MBX1500<br />
in Europe) is maintained, until the Energizer is overloaded. This ensures maximum shock is always delivered,<br />
maintaining effective animal control.<br />

Your <strong>SmartPower</strong> Energizer can be<br />
used with a solar panel. Permanently<br />
installed solar powered Energizers<br />
are best placed in the centre of the<br />
area to be fenced. Choose an area<br />
with no shadows on the equator side<br />
and face the panel towards the<br />
equator.<br />

there is no risk of the leads being<br />
chewed by animals.<br />
For solar systems test the battery<br />
every 12 months because<br />
rechargeable batteries can lose<br />
storage capacity over time. For more<br />
