1. Choose the Right Energizer for Your Fence Size

Different energizers serve different fencing needs:

1. LFL101-1 – AC Plug-in
   Best for small paddocks up to 8 acres.
   Covers short runs of polywire or tape.

2. LFR050 – Solar Energizer
   Ideal for remote pastures up to 50 acres.
   Works even after 3 weeks without sunlight.

3. LFP30 – Dual-Purpose Energizer
   Runs on AC or 12V battery.
   Covers 65 miles of fencing.

4. ADS9000 – High-Power Solar Model
   For large operations up to 150 km.
   Great for cattle ranches and long perimeters.

2. Install a Strong Grounding System

Most fence problems are caused by poor grounding—not by the energizer.

1. Use 1 grounding rod (1.5–2 m) for small fences

2. Use 2–3 rods spaced 3–5 m apart for larger fences

3. Connect rods to the energizer’s Earth terminal

4. Add water around rods during dry seasons

3. Mount the Energizer in a Proper Location

1. Mount 1 meter above ground

2. Keep away from metal surfaces

3. Keep the energizer dry and well-ventilated

4. For solar units, face the panel toward full sunlight

4. Use High-Quality Fence Conductors

Lydite energizers work with all major conductors:

• Polywire → long runs, general livestock

• Polyrope → large animals, horses

• Tape → high visibility, horse paddocks

• Netting → sheep, goats, poultry

Make sure the fence conductor fits the energizer's power level.

5. Install Posts and Insulators Correctly

Use the right post type:

• Fiberglass fence posts → light, durable

• Plastic fence posts → easy installation

• Pigtail posts → portable fencing

• Metal posts → permanent installations (needs insulators)

Use high-quality insulators to prevent power leakage.

6. Connect the Fence Line to the Energizer

1. Attach lead-out wire to the Fence (+) terminal

2. Clip the wire to your conductor (polywire / tape / rope / netting)

3. Ensure tight, corrosion-free connections

4. Avoid contact with metal posts and wet grass

7. Connect the Power Supply

1. AC Energizer → plug into 110–240V

2. Solar Energizer → connect to 12V battery

3. Dual Purpose → choose AC or battery depending on location

8. Test the Fence Voltage

Use a digital fence tester:

• Ideal voltage: 3000–8000V

• Minimum: 2000V

• Check multiple points on the fence

If voltage drops:
a) fix grounding
b) clear vegetation
c) tighten connectors

9. Maintain the System Regularly

1. Clean solar panels

2. Check battery levels

3. Tighten fence wires

4. Replace cracked insulators

5. Clear weed growth along the fence

10. Avoid Common Mistakes

Here are the most common energizer installation mistakes:

1. Weak grounding system

2. Using a small energizer for a long fence

3. Grass touching the lower wires

4. Poor insulators or rusty connectors

5. Running polywire and netting on an underpowered unit

6. Not testing the fence weekly
