Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the internal battery using the provided AC adapter. This ensures optimal performance from the start.

1. Locate the charging port on the energizer.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the charging port.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a standard wall outlet.
4. Allow the unit to charge for at least 24 hours or until the charging indicator light (if present) indicates a full charge.

5.2 Mounting the Energizer

The energizer can be mounted in various ways to suit your fence setup.

• T-Post/Y-Post Mounting: The unit is designed to sit securely on top of a T-post or Y-post. Ensure the solar panel faces south for maximum sun exposure.
• Screw Mounting: Use appropriate screws to attach the energizer to a wooden post or wall.

5.3 Connecting to the Fence and Ground

Proper connection to the fence and a good ground system are crucial for effective operation.

1. Grounding: Drive a galvanized ground rod (not included) into the earth at least 3 feet deep, preferably in a moist area. Connect the black alligator clip cable from the energizer's ground terminal to the ground rod.
2. Fence Connection: Connect the red alligator clip cable from the energizer's fence terminal to the electric fence line. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Solar Panel Orientation: Position the energizer so the solar panel receives direct sunlight throughout the day. Facing it south (in the Northern Hemisphere) is generally recommended.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

Locate the power switch on the bottom of the unit. Flip the switch to the "ON" position to activate the energizer. Flip it to "OFF" to deactivate.

6.2 Indicator Lights

The energizer typically features indicator lights:

• One light indicates power is on.
• Another light (often flashing) indicates the fence is pulsing.

6.3 Continuous Operation

Once activated and properly installed, the Epoify EP-LD01 will operate continuously. The solar panel recharges the internal battery during daylight hours, allowing the unit to function throughout the night without interruption.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your fence charger.

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Periodically clean the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may reduce charging efficiency.
• Fence Line Inspection: Regularly check the fence line for vegetation growth, broken wires, or insulators. Vegetation touching the fence can reduce its effectiveness by grounding the circuit.
• Connections: Ensure all connections (fence, ground, and power cables) are secure and free from corrosion.
• Ground Rod: Verify the ground rod remains firmly in the soil and that its connection is intact.
• Winter Storage: If storing the unit for extended periods, especially in cold climates, ensure the battery is fully charged before storage and recharge it every 3-6 months to maintain battery health. Store in a dry, temperate location.
