Solar IntelliShock 30 Solar powered 0.30 joule energizer. Portable all-in-one unit arrives ready to power electric fence or netting. Common Uses A solar powered energizer often used electric fences to contain cattle, horses and deer. Effective against predators such as coyotes, stray dogs, skunks, bears and foxes. Can also be used for protecting poultry, sheep and goats. Solar powered energizers are a popular choice when 110V power is not easily accessible. Attached solar panel will recharge the battery on sunny days. Should Power 1-2 rolls of electric netting depending on soil conditions and vegetation.1/2 mile of 3 strand cattle fence.1/4 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence. Solar Panel Angle Correct placement of the energizer and solar panel is critical to the best operation of the unit. Position the energizer so that the solar panel faces due south. This will allow the panel to receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible even during the low-light days of winter. Consider the sun’s movement throughout the day and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass. Miscellaneous Use included ground U-Spike or use at least a 1' galvanized ground rod.Draw from a 12V battery is 15-29 milliampere (mA) per hour, depending on weed load.40 pulses per minute.When properly used or stored, the battery should last 3-4 years. (Assumes maximum 40% draw down on battery.) Benefits New for 2020! External 110V adapter port for faster plug-in connections for recharging.Solar panel is easy to adjust for seasonal light availability.Included step-in ground stake can also be used to support energizer.Easily accessible fence and ground terminals. Fence and ground wiring harness included.​External 110V port allows the energizer to be operated without a battery and plugged into a 110V power source.Large capacity battery for increased life during long periods with low sunlight.Highly visible on/off light with low battery indicator.Won’t rust. Made from durable UV-treated polycarbonate. Benefits New for 2020!

Made from durable UV-treated polycarbonate. Solar IntelliShock 30 IntelliShock electric fence chargers are able to reduce energy demand when the fence’s voltage is high–due to fewer weeds touching the fence. This occurs in fall and winter for most fences and occurs all year for some horse, cattle and deer fences. As a result, an IntelliShock unit’s battery is more likely to remain charged through the low sunlight days of autumn and winter. Precautions Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.Make sure the fence line is clear of grass and debris that may lower the fence’s voltage.Ensure the solar panel is facing due south and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass. Reduce Risk & Liability Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.

Remove the U-Spike and wiring harness from inside the battery compartment. Using 10mm wrench, remove the bolts holding the solar panel in place and replace with the supplied knobs (shipped inside the unit). Step in the ground U-Spike. For added support, you can slide the energizer onto top of U-Spike. Use the wiring harness to connect the energizer to the ground stake and fence. Unscrew the red terminal knob. Secure the bare end of the wire with the orange clip into the hole behind the red terminal knob. Replace the red terminal knob and tighten. Repeat steps #1-3 for the black ground terminal. Connect the black clip to the ground stake. Connect the orange clip to the fence. Turn energizer on. (When switching on, make sure the power button is pressed all the way in.) Check the voltage to ensure the fence is properly electrified to at least 3000v before introducing animals.
