94 ENERGIZERS & SOLAR PANELS • 1-800-282-6631
PRS Solar
Energizers
What’s included in all PRS units?
• A DC energizer. Each unit is covered by
our unique 2-year replacement warranty
(energizers only).
• Up to 2 sealed lead acid batteries—with
enough capacity to supply the energizer for
a week even if the sun doesn’t shine.
• Outer case with attached solar panel.
• Leadout cables with alligator clips for
attaching to a ground rod and the fence.
(Cables are already attached to the
energizer terminals.)
• A 5-light voltage tester (in kits only).
Which PRS unit is right for you?
The size, in pulse energy output, depends
almost entirely on the weed contact that will
occur on the fence.
Weed contact in turn is determined by:
a. How close the lowest energized live
wire is to the grass/soil level. For most
poultry, sheep and goat fences, that’s
less than 6"—which is very close. For
these fences more pulse energy (a larger
energizer) is always better.
By comparison, a cattle or horse fence
(lowest live wire may be 24" above the soil)
will experience minimal weed contact. So a
1.0 joule energizer will go a long distance.
b. How long is the fence? A fence that is 600
ft long will have twice the weed contact of
a similar 300 ft long fence. So it will need
twice the pulse energy to overwhelm the
energy leakage from the weeds.
When a PRS unit arrives…
1. Open the lid and read the instructions
provided on the inside of the lid.
2. Insert ground rod into soil.
3. Connect the spade connectors to the battery
terminals. (These are prelabeled for you.)
4. Place the energizer so the panel faces due
south toward the noonday sun and is not
shaded at any time by bushes, grass,
trees or fence posts.
5. Attach black clip to ground rod.
6. Attach red clip to your fence.
7. Turn on the energizer.
8. Check voltage with a tester (3000v) to make
sure everything is working.
