It is also advisable to mount the energizer in a position where it is less likely to be damaged by machinery and away from flammable materials. All Stafix energizers are supplied with detailed mounting instructions, which should be read before installation. Once the energizer has been mounted, connect the ground system to the green ground terminal marked by the symbol .
Correct grounding is important.
As with mains energizers, you require a good ground system. Install a good ground close to the energizer and connect this to the green ground terminal on the energizer. Connect the red power terminal to the fence line. Battery energizers which run off internal dry cell batteries e.g. Stripgrazers, can be connected directly to the fence wire. For best results push an ground rod into the earth and connect to the ground terminal on the energizer.
