Operating Instructions
Powering On
Once all connections (ground, fence, and battery) are securely made, the IntelliShock 10 energizer will begin to operate. A flashing indicator light on the unit typically confirms operation.
IntelliShock Technology
The IntelliShock 10 features an automatic adjustment system that optimizes battery draw. If the fence is not heavily loaded by weeds or shorts, the unit can reduce battery consumption by up to 67%. This extends the time between battery recharges, especially during periods of low vegetation or dormant grass.
Fence Capacity
The energizer is capable of powering various fence configurations:
- Approximately 2 miles of 3-strand cattle fence.
- Approximately 3/4 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence.
- Up to 10 of the 164-foot sheep/goat nets.
- Up to 4-5 of the 164-foot poultry nets.
Note: Actual fence distances may vary depending on the amount of grass or weed load on the fence line.
Maintenance
- Battery Care: Regularly check the charge level of your 12V battery. Recharge as needed to ensure continuous operation. The IntelliShock feature helps extend battery life, but periodic recharging is still necessary.
- Weed Control: Keep the fence line clear of excessive vegetation. Heavy weed growth can reduce fence effectiveness and increase battery drain.
- Connection Checks: Periodically inspect all connections (battery, ground, fence) for corrosion, looseness, or damage. Clean or replace as necessary.
- Weather Protection: As the energizer is not waterproof, ensure it remains protected from direct rain, snow, and excessive moisture. A suitable weatherproof enclosure is recommended for outdoor installations.
Troubleshooting
- No Power/Weak Pulse:
- Check battery charge. Recharge or replace if low.
- Inspect all wiring connections for secure contact and correct polarity.
- Examine the fence line for heavy weed contact or shorts to the ground. Clear any obstructions.
- Verify the ground rod connection is solid and the rod is adequately driven into moist earth.
- Indicator Light Not Flashing:
- Confirm the energizer is receiving power from the battery.
- Check for any visible damage to the energizer unit or its power cord.
- Unexpected Power Loss:
- This could indicate a severe short on the fence line or a depleted battery. Address these issues as described above.
- If the power cord or wiring harness shows signs of burning or damage, immediately disconnect the energizer and replace the affected components.
