All Zareba brand pulse-type electric fence controllers meet
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for safety.
WARNING: Read ALL these instructions. Only use
electric fence controller products for the purpose
intended as defined in this manual.
WARNING: Never run more than one fence controller
on the same fence line at one time. The pulse time
between the fence controllers will be too close together
and could be hazardous to animals and people. It
could also damage your fence controllers.
WARNING: Install fence lines powered by separate
fence controllers far enough apart to prevent contact
with both fence lines at the same time. Simultaneously
touching two fences powered by separate energizers
could be hazardous.
WARNING: In brushfire-prone areas, turn the fencer
off on extremely dry days. For backup, be sure others
know how to disconnect the fence controller. Also,
never disconnect wires or approach a fence during
lightning storms.
WARNING: Do not operate fence controllers near any
combustible materials including gasoline, kerosene and
cleaning fluids.
WARNING: Never electrify barbed wire or similar fence
types where an animal or human may become tangled
in the fence or caught against the fence.
WARNING: To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not
remove the fence controller cover. Refer to service
personnel.
Before You Start

WARNING: Check local zoning laws for electric
fencing guidelines in your area. Also check with local
utilities before digging to identify any buried cables or
natural gas lines.
Tools Required
• Wire cutter/stripper (part no. FWC-1)
• Flathead, phillips and #15 torx screwdrivers
• Adjustable wrench
• Voltage tester (part no. DEFT-1 or RSVT8)
Other Required Components
• Two lengths of 20 KV insulated hook-up wire (one long
enough to connect fence controller to ground system
and one long enough to connect fence controller to
fence line)
• Fence line connector (part no. 07110-96 for steel or
poly wire; PRS2 for poly rope; or PTCC1 for poly tape)
• 6- to 8-foot ground rod(s) (part no. GR8 or 07104-96)
• Ground rod clamps–one per ground rod (part no.
CGR1 or 07105-96)

Fence Controller Installation
• Battery is pre-installed in all models. With fence controller in OFF
position, allow the sun to fully charge the battery for three days to
ensure optimal battery life.
STEP 1: Charge Battery
NOTE: Make sure switch is
in the OFF (0) position.
Models SP3/LIS3/SP10/LIS10 Model SP30
Solar Battery Maintenance
• Low battery can be recharged by removing battery and using 6-volt
charger (part no. SBC1).
• When not in use, fully charge battery before storage.
WARNING: Do not charge battery with an automobile battery
charger as this will damage battery.
The normal life of the internal battery is typically three to four years
provided it is properly maintained. A solar fence controller that is being
stored should be placed in the sun for three days every three months
to recharge the battery. Any fence controller in use that doesn’t receive
sunlight for a period of two weeks should be recharged for three days
in sunlight with the fence controller turned OFF.

STEP 2: Mount Fence Controller
IMPORTANT: Fence controller must be kept off ground.
• Mount in a location that receives full sunlight throughout the day
facing noontime sun (due south in the northern hemisphere).
• Keep solar panel clean and free of dust using a soft cloth and water.
Do NOT use detergent or abrasive cleaners on solar panel.

STEP 4: Connect to Ground System
Check ground system reliability
• IMPROPER GROUNDING WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF
YOUR FENCE CONTROLLER! See page 18 for more information
about proper grounding.
NOTE: Connect additional ground rods with hook-up wire and ground rod clamps
Ground rod clamp
(part no.07105-96 or CGR1)
Ground rod
(part no.07104-96 or GR8)
Tip: The fence controller must be grounded sufficiently for the
system to work effectively. Improper grounding can also cause inter-
ference on telephone lines, radios and television and could invalidate
your warranty.

STEP 5: Connect to Fence Line
Check fence system reliability
• IMPROPER CONNECTION POINTS WILL AFFECT THE
PERFORMANCE OF YOUR FENCE CONTROLLER!
• Make sure splices and insulators are sound and secure.
