3.3 Using Battery or Solar Powered Energizers

NOTE: Mains Power is strongly recommended because it is much more reliable, much less expensive and much less trouble than solar/battery power.

CAUTION: To avoid an accidental shock, connecting electrical power from the source should be the last step; after all other devices have been connected.

1. Connect the Fence Minder to the energizer as illustrated

Battery Power:

1. Connect the red wire from the "Battery positive (+)" terminal of the Fence Minder™ to the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
2. Connect the black wire from the "Battery negative (-)" terminal of the Fence Minder™ to the negative (-) terminal on the battery.

NOTE: You will need a Deep Cycle Marine or RV battery rated at 85 amp hours or more. This battery will require periodic maintenance and charging AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. Alternatively, a battery trickle charger may be attached (follow the manufacturer's instructions). Even so, an equalization charge should be applied by your local automotive repair shop, approximately every 12 months.
