Product Information

Full details

This Fensecure Solar Electric Fence Energiser is designed for users needing a reliable, low-maintenance power source for fencing in locations without mains electricity. Its key benefit is providing an efficient and cost-effective independent energy supply for agricultural, wildlife, or security fencing up to 4000 meters. A potential caveat is its 6V rating, which may be less powerful than higher voltage units for very challenging environments or specific animal containment needs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum fence length this energiser can support?

This energiser is designed for fence systems up to 4000 meters (4 kilometers).

Is this energiser suitable for all types of animals?

It is suitable for containing common livestock like sheep and cattle. For highly determined animals or specific containment needs, higher voltage energisers might be more effective.

How do I maintain the solar panel?

Clean the solar panel regularly with a damp cloth to ensure maximum efficiency. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What does the IP34 waterproof rating mean?

IP34 means the unit is protected against solid objects over 1mm and splashing water from any direction. It is resistant to rain but should not be submerged.

What happens if the ground is very dry?

A dry ground will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the earth return path, weakening the electric shock. Ensure the earthing stake is in moist soil, or water the area around the stake if necessary.

Does it come with a battery?

The product description indicates it includes the main unit and an earthing stake. It is designed for a 6V battery system; please check the specific package contents or product listing for details on whether a battery is included.

Can I use this in winter?

Yes, the unit is designed for all-weather operation. However, performance may be reduced during winter months due to shorter daylight hours and potentially frozen ground affecting the earth connection.

Troubleshooting

Energiser is not powering the fence.

Check all connections to the fence and earth stake are secure. Ensure the earth stake is in moist soil. Verify the solar panel is clean and receiving sunlight. Check the 6V battery is correctly installed and charged.

Fence voltage is low.

Clean the solar panel. Ensure the fence line is not damaged or shorting out. Check the earth connection is adequate. Reduce the length of the fence line if it exceeds optimal capacity.

Unit stops working after a period of rain.

Although water-resistant (IP34), ensure the unit is not submerged. Check for any visible damage to the housing. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly. If the issue persists, contact support.

Solar panel is not charging the battery.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and directly exposed to sunlight. Test the battery's voltage. If the battery is old or faulty, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides power in locations without mains access.
  • Low ongoing running costs due to solar power.
  • Durable and weather-resistant construction.
  • Easy to transport and position.
  • Suitable for medium to large fencing areas (up to 4000m).

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extreme containment requirements due to 6V output.
  • Performance can be affected by prolonged periods of low sunlight.
  • Requires proper installation and earthing for optimal function.
  • Limited to 4000m fence length; not for very extensive systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable location for the energiser, ideally where the solar panel can receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
  2. Mount the unit securely on a fence post or wall using the rear mounting hooks, or place it on the ground using the integrated carrying handle for portability.
  3. Connect the provided heavy-duty step-in earthing stake into moist soil near the fence line. Ensure a good earth connection.
  4. Connect the energiser's earth lead to the earthing stake.
  5. Connect the energiser's fence lead to the electric fence system.
  6. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

Compatibility:

  • This energiser is designed for fence systems up to 4000 meters.
  • It is suitable for use with various types of fencing materials, including wire and polywire/tape, provided the total resistance and length are within its operational capacity.
  • Requires a 6V battery system (typically included or compatible with standard 6V batteries). Ensure the battery is correctly installed and charged.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the solar panel with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris that could reduce its efficiency.
  • Inspect all connections and wiring for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
  • Ensure the earthing stake remains in moist soil; if the ground dries out, performance may be affected. Consider adding water to the soil around the stake if necessary.
  • Store the unit in a dry place during periods of prolonged disuse to protect it from extreme weather.
