Battery maintained installation

This energiser has been designed to operate safely
with a battery charger power pack.
A battery maintained installation allows the energiser
to draw its normal operating power through a battery
charger power pack connected to a mains/line power
source. This enables the energiser to continue
operating from a battery supply during a power
outage. A battery maintained installation is normally
indoors.
A battery maintained installation is recommended
where stock control is critical, for example for
controlling game, high value stock, diseased stock or
where a fence line borders a public highway. A
suitable battery charger power pack can be purchased
from your nearest Stafix stockist.
Warning! A rechargeable 12 V, lead-acid battery
must be used with a battery maintained installation.

energiser ensure that the battery is at least 1 m
(3') away from and not directly below the
energiser.
