Premier PRS 200 Solar Energizer

A solar powered electric fence energizer used to keep out deer, raccoons and rabbits from garden/orchard areas. It is also used to keep in poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and guard dogs. Effective at protecting against coyotes, stray dogs, bear and fox.

Includes:

• 1-Patriot P20 2.0 joule energizer
• 2-26 amp hour 12v sealed lead acid batteries
• 1-Wiring harness
• 1-20-watt solar panel
• 1-Voltage regulator
• 2-Ground rods and ground rod extension kit
• 1-Metal carry case (24"x18"x10 1/2")
• If you buy the kit, it comes with all of the above plus a 5-light tester.

Joules

• 2.7 stored joules.
• 2.0 released joules.
• 1.72 joules in moist soils.
• 0.4 joules in dry soils.

Miscellaneous

• Requires 6' of ground rod in the ground.
• Draw from a 12v battery is 163 milliampere (mA) per hour. With this energizer a 12v 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 15 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
• 40 pulses per minute.
If properly used and or stored, battery should last 3-4 years.

Should Power...

• 2.5 miles of 3 strand cattle fence.
• 1 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence.
• 16 164' Sheep/Goat nets or 8 164' Poultry Nets.

• Assembled in house at Premier. We build each unit and test it before it goes out our door. This allows us to know that we are sending you a unit that works.
• Half the cost per joule than competitors
• Can be laid flat on the ground during summer months to make them less visible to the public.
• To catch the sun's power in winter, simply lean it against a post. If you live in low-sun areas, do this in the late fall and early winter also.
• All metal case; very strong and rugged.
• Won't rust. It's aluminum and stainless steel.
• Light brown exterior reduces its visibility to vandals and reduces heat buildup inside the case.
• All metal clamps for lid.

Attach the energizer unit to the battery and it is ready to use. Drive in the ground rod. Lay it on the ground or against a post. Then attach the earth clip to the ground rod and the fence clip to the fence. Switch it on (when switching on, make sure the button is pressed all the way in).

Winter Use

If you're not using your PRS unit during the winter follow these tips to preserve battery life:

If you're planning on using your PRS unit during the winter months, follow these helpful hints:

• Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.
• Premier is unable to repair broken Patriot Energizer Units.

To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer...

1. Test the energizer first
2. Turn off energizer.
3. Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.
4. Turn energizer back on.
5. With fence tester, put the ground probe (or clamp) to the ground terminal on the energizer and the metal loop (or positive clamp) at the top of the tester to the fence/positive terminal. The reading you get tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables. If there is a very low voltage (under 4000v) or no voltage, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is high (greater than 4000v) then the trouble lies with your fence. Most energizers put out between 5000v and 8000v when there is no load (i.e. no fence hooked up).

1. If it's a 12 volt energizer carry the unit to a nearby vehicle and attach the input cords carefully to the vehicle's battery.
2. If the energizer now works, then your fencer's battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
3. If the energizer does not work, then you should call Premier re. repairs.

1. Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post or a steel wire. On HT wire fences, check the wires at braces to see if they are touching a hot wire. On netting, look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts. Also look for damaged insulators.
2. If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turn off or disconnect the sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) that's causing the problems.
3. The alternative to (2.) is to begin at the fencer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.

2-Year Warranty--
It covers lightning damage and defective parts or workmanship. Should a Patriot energizer fail, we will replace the unit, bill you for the cost to do so, then reimburse you after we have been able to examine the failed unit to determine the cause(s).
