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 />

For more information about operating <strong>SmartPower</strong> with a battery, see “Battery Use” section, page 8.<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 />
