Which Energizer Monitor Unit do you have?  
The electric fence security system is based on one of two units, a Premium or a Compact:  
Premium  
A Premium unit has just a single ‘power’ indicator lamp on the case front. This unit is typically  
installed together with a Keypad and/or Keyswitch.  
Compact  
A Compact unit has a Keyswitch mounted on the case front and a full set of indicator lamps (these  
allow the unit to be installed on its own, without a Keypad or Keyswitch).  
It has the same full range of features and customisable settings as provided on the Premium, but  
these are set by your installer at the time of installation. The settings may be reconfigured later by  
your installer.  
Explanation of symbols on your unit  
Read full instructions before use.  
Class III appliance in which protection against electric shock relies on supply at safety extra-  
low voltage (SELV) and in which voltages higher than those of safety extra-low voltage are  
not generated.

Arming and Disarming the Electric Fence Security System  
Arming the electric fence security system  
Arm the system when you wish to fully secure the property. Arming the unit will electrify the fence  
and enable gate and fence monitoring. The Keyswitch or Keypad can be used to arm the system:  
Arming using the Keyswitch  
Arming the system using the Keyswitch is easy:

Insert the key into the Keyswitch  
Rotate ¼ turn to the right until a fast beeping is heard.  
Return the key back to the upright position and remove.  
Arming using the Keypad  
Commands on the Keypad require a four digit User or Owner Personal Identification Number (UPIN  
or OPIN) to be entered prior to a command sequence. The factory default UPIN is 1234, and the  
factory default OPIN is 5555.  
The Keypad will give a short beep to confirm each key press, a long high-pitched beep after each  
successful command sequence, and a long low pitched beep after an invalid command sequence.  
To arm the system, enter the UPIN or OPIN, then press ARM:

The system will arm. The Armed lamp will come on and the Pulse lamp will flash (provided the  
fence is fault-free).  
If the Armed lamp flashes and a slow beeping sound is heard, then the system has been configured  
with a gate override exit delay. This gate override allows you to exit the secure area through the  
gate without activating the alarm. After the delay period (for example, 2 minutes), the Armed  
lamp will remain on and the beeping will stop.

Daytime Fence Monitoring  
Twenty-four hour fence monitoring can be provided by the unit, even without fully energizing the  
fence. During the daytime, when people and children are expected to be around the fenced area,  
fence monitoring can be provided at a reduced voltage, by selecting “Monitor mode”. In this  
mode the unit is still able to monitor the electric fence installation, and will trigger the alarm if  
someone tampers with it.

Alarm Response  
If the electric fence security system is breached, it triggers an alarm — the security siren and any  
auxiliary equipment, such as a master alarm system/tele-dialler, are activated.  
After activation, the cause of the alarm is indicated by the Fence and Gate lamps (on the case front  
of the Compact, the Keypad, and Keyswitch). Whenever the cause of alarm is present, the  
appropriate lamp will also flash.  
After a programmed period (say, 3 minutes) the siren is automatically switched off, but any  
auxiliary equipment remains activated until the system is disarmed.  
After the alarm siren has switched off automatically, the electric fence security system will remain  
active and be ready to raise the alarm again if necessary. Each subsequent activation of the alarm  
will normally cause the siren to be re-triggered.  
The siren can be silenced immediately by the user, without deactivating the electric fence security  
system. This can be done using the Keyswitch or Keypad.

Notes:  
-
If the battery is discharged and there is no mains power, the unit automatically switches to  
Sleep mode and all indicator lamps turn off to conserve battery life. In addition, the Keypad  
and Keyswitch beep every 10 seconds.  
-
To resume normal operation, charge the battery for a day (connect mains power) before re-  
arming the system. If the system still does not function correctly, seek the assistance of your  
installer.

Gate Alarm  
The unit can monitor the gate used to access the area secured by the electric fence. If the gate is  
opened while the system is armed, an alarm will be triggered (subject to the optional exit/entry  
delays described below).  
Exit/entry delays  
The unit can be set with a range of exit/entry delay times. This allows a person arming or disarming  
the unit sufficient time to exit or enter the secured area through the gate, before the alarm is  
triggered. If required, ask your installer to set the delay times.  
Note: The electric fence is energized from the moment the system is armed.  
Gate alarm  
While the unit is armed (and any exit/entry delay has expired), the alarm will be triggered when the  
gate is opened.  
Gate chime  
The user can be alerted to the gate opening while the system is disarmed, via a gate chime. The  
chime is a two-tone beep from the Keypad and Keyswitch (where fitted). If the gate has been left  
open, after a short period has elapsed (half of the exit delay time), the chime will sound once every  
10 seconds as a warning.  
Tamper alarm  
If someone tampers with the wiring to the gate break-switch, gate override switch, Keypad,  
Keyswitch, or the Energizer Monitor Unit, the system alarm will be triggered and the Armed lamp  
will flash fast to warn that the system has been tampered with.  
When a tamper alarm is triggered, the unit will log a fault code, and indicate this by flashing the  
Power lamp (even after the alarm has been silenced). For information on how to display and clear  
this fault code, see Troubleshooting on page 13.  
Silencing a tamper alarm  
A tamper alarm cannot be silenced until the tampered wiring has been located and repaired. You  
must rectify the cause of the tamper alarm. Once the cause of the alarm has been fixed, it can be  
silenced like any other system alarm. For details, refer to Alarm Response on page 8.

Note: Check with your installer to see which tamper detection features have been enabled in your  
system.  
11  
 
Setting the User and Owner PIN numbers  
On Keypad equipped systems, the User PIN (UPIN) or Owner PIN (OPIN) number must be entered  
before the unit will obey any commands, except when raising a panic alarm. These numbers should  
be kept secret to prevent unauthorised operation of the unit.  
Until configured, the factory default value of the OPIN is 5555, and the UPIN is 1234. New PIN  
numbers should be chosen and set for the UPIN and OPIN as soon as possible after the system is  
installed (if your system is fitted with a Keypad), to prevent unauthorised access.  
The UPIN and OPIN differ only in that the OPIN is required to change these PIN numbers, whereas  
the UPIN cannot do this, even for the UPIN itself.  
Setting the UPIN  
To set the UPIN, enter the current OPIN followed by the command

Troubleshooting  
General system faults  
If you encounter a problem with your electric fence security system, first ask your service agent for  
advice.  
If the unit detects a fault in the system, it will log a fault code, and the Power lamp will start  
flashing fast. Additionally the beeper will sound in the Keyswitch and Keypad. Ask your service  
agent for assistance.  
If the supply cord is damaged it must only be replaced by your service agent, in order to avoid a  
hazard.  
Keypad or Keyswitch faults  
In rare instances, the Keypad or Keyswitch may stop functioning normally (maybe after a bad  
lightning storm). In this instance, the Keypad or Keyswitch needs to be reset. Ask your service  
agent for assistance.  
13  
 
 
Care and Maintenance  
While the electric fence security system has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible,  
observing the recommendations below will help to ensure a long and trouble-free life from your  
system:  
Have the internal battery in the Energizer Monitor Unit checked at least every two years by  
your service agent, to preserve the back-up time of the unit.  
Do not allow the Energizer Monitor Unit to go without mains power for long periods of time.  
This will damage the internal back-up battery.  
If you plan to disconnect mains power for more than a couple of days, disarm the Energizer  
Monitor Unit and leave on standby, or have the battery disconnected by your service agent.  
Do not leave the battery disconnected for over a month without charging.  
If you know that mains power has been inadvertently removed for several days (especially if  
the Energizer Monitor Unit was armed), have the battery checked by your service agent.  
If any physical damage occurs to the electric fence security system (especially the outside  
cables), have it checked and repaired promptly by your service agent, to ensure system  
integrity.  
The Power Pack supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the whole Power  
Pack should be replaced.  
Ensure that the Power Pack is located indoors and protected against damage from physical  
abuse, liquids, or corrosive chemicals. Have any suspected damage checked promptly by your  
service agent for continued safety.  
Do not disassemble the electric fence security system. There are no user serviceable parts  
inside any of the Energizer Monitor Unit system components.  
Ensure that the Energizer Monitor Unit and its accessories are always operated in a cool, dry,  
well ventilated area.  
Keep the Energizer Monitor Unit out of reach of children.  
Should the outside of any system component require cleaning, disarm the system first for  
safety. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. Do  
not use harsh chemicals or cleaning solvents.  
If the electric fence security system is to be decommissioned, return the Energizer Monitor  
Unit to your installer for safe disposal.  
Warning: Never open the Energizer Monitor Unit yourself, even for cleaning. Energizer  
Monitor Units are sealed against dust and do not need cleaning inside.  
14  
 
 
Electric Fence Safety Considerations  
If you are unsure of the meaning of the safety points detailed below, please seek clarification from  
your installer before using the system.  
The following section has been prepared from information appearing in international safety  
standard IEC 60335-2-76. Please read it thoroughly.  
Safety requirements  
This product has been designed for use with electric security fences.  
The Energizer Monitor Unit is suitable for indoor use only.  
The Energizer Monitor Unit uses a sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery of 7 Ah capacity. Do  
not use non-rechargeable batteries.  
Do not attempt to replace the battery. Batteries should be replaced only by a suitably  
qualified installer.  
When disposing of the Energizer Monitor Unit, have the battery removed by your installer for  
safe disposal. Do not dispose of the battery in a land-fill. Do not dispose in a fire.  
In the event of a spill or leakage from the battery:  
- Contain small spills with dry sand, earth and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials.  
If possible, carefully neutralise spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.  
- Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and a face shield.  
- Do not let un-neutralised acid get into the sewage system.  
- Neutralised acid must be managed in accordance with approved local requirements.  
Consult your local environmental agency.  
Instructions for installation and connection of electric fences  
Requirements for electric security fences  
Electric security fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained in a  
manner that minimizes danger to persons, and reduces the risk of persons receiving an electric shock unless  
they attempt to penetrate the physical barrier, or are in the secure area without authority.  
Electric security fence constructions that are likely to lead to the entanglement of persons shall be avoided.  
Gates in electric security fences shall be capable of being opened without the person receiving an electric  
shock.  
An electric security fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from independent fence  
circuits of the same energizer.  
For any two separate electric security fences, each supplied from a separate energizer independently timed,  
the distance between the wires of the two electric security fences shall be at least 2.5 m. If this gap is to be  
closed, this shall be effected by means of electrically non-conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.  
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.  
Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommendations regarding earthing.  
The distance between any electric security fence earth electrode and other earth systems shall be not less  
than 2 m, except when associated with a graded earth mat.  
NOTE: Where possible the distance between any electric security fence earth electrode and other earth  
systems should preferably be at least 10 m.  
Exposed conductive parts of the physical barrier shall be effectively earthed.  
Where an electric security fence passes below bare power line conductors, the highest metallic element  
shall be effectively earthed for a distance of not less than 5 m on either side of the crossing point.  
15  
 
 
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be effectively insulated from the earthed structural parts  
of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.  
Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulating material or else insulated  
high voltage cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the  
effects of vehicle wheels sinking into the ground.  
Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communication  
cables or data cables.  
Connecting leads and electric security fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communication  
lines.  
Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be  
avoided it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.  
If connecting leads and electric security fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the  
clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table below.  
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric security fences  
Power line voltage (V)  
1 000  
Clearance (m)  
3

8
> 1 000 and 33 000  
> 33 000  
If connecting leads and electric security fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height  
above the ground shall not exceed 3 m  
This height applies to either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the power  
line on the ground surface, for a distance of:  
- 2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V  
- 15 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.  
A spacing of 2.5 m shall be maintained between uninsulated electric security fence conductors or  
uninsulated connecting leads supplied from separate energizers. This spacing may be less where conductors  
or connecting leads are covered by insulating sleeving, or consist of insulated cables rated to at least 10 kV.  
This requirement need not apply where the separately energized conductors are separated by a physical  
barrier that does not have any openings greater than 50 mm.  
A vertical separation of not less than 2 m shall be maintained between pulsed conductors fed from separate  
energizers.  
Electric security fences shall be identified by prominently placed warning signs.  
The warning signs shall be legible from the secure area and the public access area.  
Each side of the electric security fence shall have at least one warning sign.  
Warning signs shall be placed:  
- at each gate;  
- at each access point;  
- at intervals not exceeding 10 m;  
- adjacent to each sign relating to chemical hazards for the information of the emergency services.  
Any part of an electric security fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be identified at  
frequent intervals by warning signs securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence  
wires.  
The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100 mm × 200 mm.  
The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow. The inscription on the sign shall  
be black and shall be either:  
- the symbol of Figure 1, or  
- the substance of “CAUTION: Electric security fence”.  
The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign and have a height of at least  
25 mm.  
16  
 
Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric security fence circuit provides  
a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the  
energizer.  
NOTE: Ancillary equipment that complies with the requirements relating to isolation between the fence  
circuit and the supply mains in Clauses 14, 16 and 29 of the standard for the electric fence energizer is  
considered to provide an adequate level of isolation.  
Mains supply wiring shall not be installed in the same conduit as signalling leads associated with the electric  
security fence installation.  
Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certified  
by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of  
protection IPX4.
