Setup and Installation

The ELC 3020 is designed for straightforward installation, thanks to its "Shock Fácil" technology and factory pre-programming. Follow these guidelines for proper setup:

• Power Connection: Connect the unit to an AC power source (115 - 230 VAC). A 12 V / 7 A battery (not included) can be connected for DC power and backup. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the battery.
• Fence Wiring: The unit supports up to 7000 meters of 0.9 mm stainless steel wire. Ensure all wiring is secure and properly insulated according to local electrical codes.
• Remote Control Pairing: The unit can accept up to 30 wireless devices, including remote controls, compatible only with OOK modulation. Refer to the specific remote control manual for pairing instructions.
• Alarm System Integration: For enhanced security, the ELC 3020 can be interconnected with compatible alarm central units. This allows for real-time monitoring and control via a mobile application. The unit provides two monitoring outputs: one for perimeter status and another for fence activation/deactivation.
• Siren Connection: Connect a siren to the dedicated 14.5 Vdc output for audible alerts during alarm events.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, operating the ELC 3020 is straightforward:

• Arming/Disarming: Use the paired remote control to activate or deactivate the electric shock function. The LED output on the unit will indicate the armed or disarmed status.
• Perimeter Learning: The system features automatic perimeter learning and detection of faults (leaks) in the fence line. This ensures optimal performance and alerts you to any issues.
• Voltage Adjustment: The output voltage can be adjusted between 12000 and 20000 volts to suit specific security requirements and local regulations. Consult a qualified technician for voltage adjustments.
• Monitoring: The unit continuously monitors high voltage, fence violations, and connected sensors. Any detected anomaly will trigger an alarm and can be reported via the interconnected alarm system and application.
• Pulse Interval: The electric pulses are emitted at a consistent interval of 1 second.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Intelbras ELC 3020, consider the following maintenance points:

• Battery Care: The unit includes a floating battery charger with protection against short-circuit and polarity inversion. Regularly check the battery's condition, especially if the unit relies on it for backup power.
• Environmental Protection: The ELC 3020 has an IPX4 rating, providing protection against splashing water from any direction. However, it should be installed in a location protected from direct heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Fence Inspection: Regularly inspect the electric fence wiring for any damage, corrosion, or obstructions (e.g., vegetation) that could affect its performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ELC 3020, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power/Unit Not Responding:
  • Check the AC power connection and ensure the outlet is functional.
  • Verify the 12V battery connection and its charge level. The floating charger protects against polarity inversion and short circuits.
• Fence Not Electrified/Weak Shock:
  • Inspect the fence wiring for breaks, shorts, or significant leaks (faults). The automatic perimeter learning system should detect these.
  • Ensure the unit is armed via the remote control.
  • Check the output voltage setting. If adjustable, ensure it is set appropriately (12000 or 20000 volts).
• Remote Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the remote control battery is not depleted.
  • Verify the remote control is properly paired with the central unit (OOK modulation only).
  • Check for obstructions or excessive distance. The remote has an effective range of up to 100 meters in direct line of sight.
• False Alarms/Frequent Triggers:
  • Inspect the fence for vegetation touching the wires or other physical obstructions that could cause false triggers.
  • Check connected sensors for proper installation and sensitivity.

For persistent issues or complex problems, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician or Intelbras technical support.
