4. セットアップ

4.1デバイスの取り付け

1. Choose a dry, sheltered location for the energizer, protected from direct sunlight and heavy rain.
2. Mount the device securely to a wall or post using appropriate fasteners. Ensure it is easily accessible for monitoring and maintenance.

4.2 Grounding the Energizer

1. Drive at least one galvanized ground rod (not included) into the earth, preferably in a moist area, at least 1 meter (3 feet) deep. For optimal performance, especially with longer fences or dry soil, multiple ground rods may be required.
2. Connect the green ground connection cable from the energizer's ground terminal (marked with a ground symbol) to the ground rod. Ensure a secure, corrosion-free connection.

4.3 Connecting to the Fence

1. Connect the red fence connection cable from the energizer's fence terminal (marked with a lightning bolt symbol) to your electric fence line.
2. Ensure all fence insulators are intact and the fence line is free from vegetation contact to prevent power loss.

4.4電源接続

The AKO Duo Power Xi 8000 can be powered by either 230 V mains or a 12 V battery.

4.4.1 230 V Mains Operation

1. Plug the 230 V mains power adapter into the designated input on the energizer.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard 230 V AC wall outlet.

4.4.2 12 V Battery Operation

1. Connect the red battery connection cable to the positive (+) terminal of a 12 V deep cycle battery.
2. Connect the black battery connection cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V deep cycle battery.
3. Plug the other end of the battery connection cables into the designated 12 V input on the energizer.
4. 最適なパフォーマンスを得るために、バッテリーが完全に充電されていることを確認してください。

注記： Do not connect both 230 V mains and 12 V battery simultaneously. The device will automatically prioritize the 230 V mains if both are connected, but it is recommended to use only one power source at a time.

5.デバイスの操作

5.1電源オン

Once connected to a power source (either 230 V mains or 12 V battery) and properly grounded, the energizer will automatically power on. There is no separate on/off switch.

5.2 Monitoring Performance with LED Bargraph Display

The AKO Duo Power Xi 8000 features a multi-color LED bargraph display that provides real-time information on the output voltage and battery status. This allows for clear control and helps monitor the performance of your fence system at any time.

• 出力巻tage: The LED segments indicate the current voltage on the fence line. A higher number of lit segments signifies stronger fence performance.
• バッテリーの状態: If operating on 12 V battery, the display will also show the battery's charge level, allowing you to anticipate when recharging is needed.

5.3 Energy-Saving Circuit

The integrated energy-saving circuit automatically optimizes energy consumption based on fence conditions, extending battery life during 12 V operation and reducing power usage during 230 V operation.

6. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your AKO Duo Power Xi 8000.

• 目視検査: Periodically check the energizer, cables, and fence line for any visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Fence Line Clearing: Keep the fence line clear of vegetation, as contact with grass or weeds can significantly reduce fence voltage.
• 接地システム: Ensure the ground rods remain firmly in the earth and connections are secure and free of rust.
• Battery Maintenance (12 V operation): If using a 12 V battery, regularly check its charge level using the energizer's display or a separate battery tester. Recharge or replace the battery as needed.
• クリーニング： Gently wipe the energizer's casin広告付きgamp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the device in water.
