INTRODUCTION

The DRUID LCD is a battery (12V 7AH nominal) operated energizer suitable for connection to

mains (AC 100V-240V, 50-60Hz).

The batteries to be used are rechargeable lead-acid batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries must

not be used. The lead-acid batteries require venting and it is imperative that the energizer be

situated in a well-ventilated area.

A new fully charged battery will typically provide in excess of 24 hours backup. Backup time will

vary with fence condition though.

Electric fencing can be lethal. Please avoid entanglement\entrapment hazards (See APPENDIX

at the end of this manual) and warn the user to avoid head contact with the fence.

The DRUID LCD 2x energizer should ideally be operated by means of a remote keypad to
obtain access to the many energizer features and receive the greatest protection. It can
however be operated by means of a Nemtek tab or external switch.

The energizer includes many user and installer settings. These will be retained in the event
of total power loss. i.e. the battery is exhausted during a prolonged mains failure.

The energizer can be configured as a master only 2 zone installation, or as a master and
slave networked 4 zone installation. Only a master energizer can communicate with
keypads and other devices present on the keypad bus.

A set of jumpers positioned above each of the three energizer relays, allow the relay
contacts to be configured as either wet (providing 12V nominal power) or dry (potential
free) contacts.

The energizer display will light with a blue (OFF), green (all is OK), yellow (alarm in history
or other medium priority event) or red (active alarm condition exists) background to
announce the energizer’s state at a glance and from a distance.

The DRUID LCD energizer incorporates an advanced and patented fence voltage
regulation, arc detection and avoidance system. What this means is, the fence energy is
maintained at a higher level than would normally be possible using a conventional
energizer on the same fence, when factors such as poor or damaged insulators, wet
insulators after a rain storm, or salt build up on insulators (at the coast) prevent the fence
from supporting a high voltage. A conventional energizer will push all available energy

through any arcing that may occur across the insulator, thus reducing the fence’s

effectiveness. The DRUID LCD energizer however will detect the arcing and then attempt
to operate the fence at a voltage just below that at which arcing occurs, thus maintaining
higher energy levels on the fence and improving the effectiveness of the fence. Nemtek is
the inventor and patent holder of this innovative technology.

Nemtek Connect

Nemtek Druid LCD 2x energizers can be upgraded for remote connectivity through a
smartphone application or internet browser via Nemtek Connect. Contact Nemtek for
more information on the hardware and software upgrades required.

CREATING A 4-ZONE INSTALLATION

Using two DRUID LCD 2x energizers, a four zone installation can be created. Implementing
four zones, a property owner can identify the location of an attempted intrusion to a
greater degree of accuracy. For example, the front, back, left or right side of the property
can each be a unique zone.

To create a four zone system, two DRUID LCD 2x energizers need to be linked via the
keypad bus. Three wires in total need to be wired correctly between the two energizers.
The system ground (KEYPAD-) wire, the data wire (DATA), and the synchronization wire
(SYNC).

One energizer must be configured as a master, and the other energizer configured as a
slave. An energizer is configured by means of a Master/Slave jumper on the energizer main
PCB, just below the LCD display. A master energizer will have the jumper absent, and a
slave energizer must have the jumper inserted.

Master will show as zones 1 & 2 on the keypad.
Slave will show as zones 3 & 4 on the keypad.

Lastly, the master needs to be informed whether a slave energizer is connected creating a
four zone system or if it is a master only two zone system. This is so that a communication
failure (service alarm) can be generated should the slave energizer not respond to the

master’s request for information, and so that the keypad can be dealt with correctly as

either a two or four zone installation.

The SLAVE ENERGIZER PRESENT setting is set by first entering installer mode, and
then entering installer code 5001*#. Further details of this code can be found in this
manual under the PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS section.

Note: Please read the section, KEYPAD ZONE FOCUS, in the Druid LCD User Manual Rev1.2 or
later. This section explains how to direct keypad input to a specific zone, or to all zones
simultaneously. Installer PROGRAMABLE OPTIONS which are zone focus specific will have the
following text appear bellow the programmable option later in this manual.

*Can be directed to a specific zone, using KEYPAD ZONE FOCUS.

The Druid LCD 2x energiser has a data port to which communications cards such as a
network card or a Nemtek Connect card can be connected. These cards enable networking
or remote access and control of the energiser.

Visit the Nemtek website, www.nemtek.co.za, for the latest details on the smartphone
app and networking options available to you.

Network cards and Nemtek Connect

13

Up to 32 Druid LCD 2x energisers (64 Zones) can be networked together.

Each of the energisers will need to have a unique address in the range 1-32.

The energiser’s large network address is set using installer code 51??*# detailed on
page 27 of this manual.

Often when networking energizers it is possible to come into contact with more than one
energized fence at a time. In this case, for safety, the energizers should be synchronised
with one another. Synchronisation is achieved by either making all energizers dependant
on the timing of one of the energizers in the network, or by making all energizers
dependant on an accurate external clock source with a period of one second, such as the
GPS receiver available from Nemtek.

Use the installer code 503?*#, detailed on page 26 of this manual, to change the
synchronisation behaviour of an energizer. Synchronisation may also be an issue in non­networked fences that are adjacent at some point.

When the energizer front cover is opened while displaying a service condition (spanner
symbol), if the service condition is still present, further information will be displayed
indicating the cause of the service condition as listed below.

A = Aux fuse blown
I = Fence interference detected
S = High voltage boost circuit failure, SCR failure or rapid triggering
B = Battery fuse blown, battery fault or not connected
N = Slave energizer communication failure
V = Output high voltage sense error
F = High voltage boost circuit control loss

FUSE DESCRIPTION AND FAULT SYMPTOMS

All fuses are of the “fast blow” type with a 2A rating. Main fuse 4A

Detailed service indicators & fuses

15

Main Fuse: Energizer displays a battery symbol, and not the mains power symbol (plug).
Battery Fuse: Energizer does not operate when mains power is disconnected.
Aux Fuse: The Siren and strobes do not function.

• Keep the wires to the fence separate from the keypad, gate, siren, strobe and
mains wiring.

• Do not try and modify the energizer. Any unauthorized modifications will null and
void the warranty and possibly render the unit illegal.

• If the external On/Off facility is used, the wire between the remote switch and the
energizer can be up to a 100m in length. The switch contact must be open for the
fence to be energized.

• A remote receiver can obtain 12VDC from the keypad bus. Current consumption
must not exceed 0.1 Amps. This is not sufficient to supply power for an armed
response transmitter.

• The siren and strobe lights together must not draw more than 1.8Amps.

• Never use the energizer battery to power a radio alarm transmitter or alarm panel.

• The wire between the magnetic gate switch and the energizer can be up to a 100m

in length, but must not run parallel with any fence wires. The gate switch must be
open circuit if the gate is open.

• The remote keypad cable must not exceed 100m in total length. Avoid running this
cable parallel with any fence (high voltage) wires.

• You may connect a total of two keypads, one expansion card and one slave
energizer to an energizer set to master.

• Use HT (high voltage) wire between the fence and energizer, including the earth
wire. Never run these wires in the same conduit or through the same hole as the
low voltage wiring.

• Always use ferrules or line clamps to connect two high voltage wires together.
Avoid using dissimilar materials for connections like copper on steel.

• The fence must be earthed properly with three earth electrodes close to the
energizer. The distance between the fence earth electrode and any other earth
systems shall be not less than 2m for a security fence installation. (Typically a
suburban property installation), and 10m for an agricultural fence installation.
(Typically a rural property installation.)

• When replacing the front of the energizer, hook the top in first while holding it an
angle and then push it closed at the bottom. Fasten the lid down with the two cap
screws.

• Always test the fence after installation for correct short and open-circuit alarming at
various points along the fence.

• Do not use the energizer with non-rechargeable batteries.

• The energizer contains a sealed lead-acid battery that will vent to the atmosphere

under certain conditions. For this reason it is imperative that the energizer be
installed in a well ventilated area.

• Refer to the applicable laws concerning the installation of electric fences in your
area.

When this mode is active, the display will indicate “AlmSensr”
? = 0 (conventional energizer mode) or 1 (alarm sensor mode)
Factory default value is 4080*# (conventional energizer mode)

When in alarm sensor mode, the strobe relays, regardless of STROBE LIGHT Z1/Z2 RELAY
FUNCTION settings, will function as follows;
The Zone 1 strobe relay is active only as long as zone 1 is in alarm condition.
The Zone 2 strobe relay is active only as long as zone 2 is in alarm condition.

The siren relay by factory default will be active only as long as the gate is in alarm condition. If
however the siren relay function has been altered using the SIREN RELAY FUNCTION, the siren
relay will be active as long as both fence zone 1 and zone 2 are energized.

Additional status information can be obtained, such as, zone active, zone low voltage mode, zone
check condition, mains fail, service and tamper conditions, by fitting an expansion card onto the
keypad bus.

This mode is typically used when the energizer is connected to an alarm system and no user
interaction with the energizer will take place. The energizer is thus treated as simply another alarm
detecting sensor for the alarm panel.

? = 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)
Factory default value is 4041*# (enabled)

DISPLAY INSTALLER TEL NUMBER 4 0 5 _ * #

Enables or disables the displaying of the installers telephone number during a service
condition.
? = 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)
Factory default value is 4050*# (disabled)

When enabling this function, don’t forget to set a new telephone number using the (10 digit new

telephone number)# code below.

SHOW KEY PRESSES ON LCD 4 0 6 _ * #

Enables or disables the displaying of keypad key presses on the energizer display.
? = 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)
Factory default value is 4061*# (enabled)

For increased security when the energizer and keypad are far apart, it may be desirable to disable
this function and so prevent the user PIN being read from the energizer display.

SOLAR POWERED INSTALLATION 4 0 7 _ * #

Modifies the energizer operation for permanent battery operation.
? = 0 (disabled, requires mains power) or 1 (solar installation)
Factory default value is 4070*# (disabled)

If the energizer is to be run permanently from battery power, which is typically the case when
running a solar powered site, then enabling this function will prevent the energizer from reacting to
mains power loss as an error condition.

MAINS FAIL CHIME 4 0 9 _ * #

Enable or disable mains fail chime.
? = 0 (no chime on mains fail) or 1 (chime on mains fail)
Factory default value is 4091*# (chime on mains fail)

SLAVE ENERGIZER PRESENT 5 0 0 _ * #

Enable or disable whether a slave energizer should be present.
? = 0 (Master only 2 zone system) or 1 (Slave connected 4 zone system)
Factory default value is 5000*# (Master only 2 zone installation)

The master energizer needs to be configured as to whether a slave energizer is connected, creating
a four zone system, or if it is a master only two zone system. This is required so that a
communication failure (service alarm) can be generated should the slave energizer not respond to

the master’s request for information, and so that the keypad can be dealt with correctly as either a

two or four zone installation.

the four inputs on the expansion card.
? = configuration to select (contact NEMTEK for customized configurations)
Programmable range is 5020*# to 5022*#
Factory default value is 5020*# (Configuration 0)

The expansion card address jumper must be set to 1for the master energizer info or 2 for the slave.

MASTER ENERGIZER PASSIVE SYNC 5 0 3 _ * #

Sets whether a master energizer should actively drive, or passively listen to the SYNC
signal.
? = 0 (Master with active SYNC) or 1 (Master with passive SYNC)
Factory default value is 5030*# (Master with active SYNC)

In a single energizer installation, the energizer provides its own timing pulse.
For a number of master energizers to all pulse together in a synchronized fashion, this code allows
the switching of an energizer from active sync to passive sync.

In passive sync mode the energizer monitors the sync input for a sync pulse and sets its timing
according to this sync pulse. The sync pulse can come from another master energizer set to active
sync, via the keypad bus directly, or via a network, or the pulse could also be provided from a
Nemtek GPS module. The GPS module extracts absolute time from the network of satellites making
up the global position system (GPS).

The advantage of using a Nemtek GPS sync module is that any number of D24 energizers can be
synchronized over vast distances without any physical network connections between the energizers.

To create a network of synchronized energizers using one of the energizers as the timing master,
first enter this code into all energizers excepting one. You need to leave exactly one master
energizer with an active SYNC, to which all passive SYNC masters will synchronize, once connected
together.

To connect the energizers together, from the keypad/networking connector, wire the synchronize
line (SYNC) of all energizers together, and wire the negative line (-) of all energizers together.

LARGE NETWORK TOPOLOGY 5 0 4 _ * #

Switches the large network topology from daisy chain to multi drop.
? = 0 (Daisy chain) or 1 (Multi drop)
Factory default value is 5040*# (Daisy chain)

LARGE NETWORK ADDRESS 5 1 _ _ * #

Sets the address of an energizer connected in a large network.
Programmable range is 5101*# (Address 1) to 5132*# (Address 32)
Factory default value is 5100*# (No address)

A maximum of 32 energizers can be networked together using network cards.
The factory default address of 0 is a broadcast address which allows an energizer to be found on a
new network, but for the network to operate correctly the energizer must finally be assigned an
address in the range of 1 to 32.

SET INSTALLER TEL NUMBER _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #

Sets the telephone number to be displayed during a service condition.

The telephone number must be exactly 10 digits long and the displaying of this number must be
enabled, as the factory default is to not display this number. (See code 4051*#)

Basic definitions

• Electric Fence:

A barrier which includes one or more electric conductors, insulated from earth, to
which electric pulses are applied by an energizer

• Connecting Lead:

An electric conductor, used to connect the energizer to the electric fence or the
earth electrode

• Electric Security Fence:

A fence used for security purposes which comprises an electric fence and a physical
barrier electrically isolated from the electric fence

• Public Access Area:

Any area where persons are protected from inadvertent contact with pulsed
conductors by a physical barrier

• Pulsed Conductors:

Conductors which are subjected to high voltage pulses by the energizer

• Secure Area:

An area where a person is not separated from pulse conductors below 1,5m by a
physical barrier

General requirements for electric security fences

Electric fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to
persons, animals or their surroundings.

Electric fence constructions which are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or
persons shall be avoided, as entrapment can be lethal.

An electric fence shall not be supplied from two different energizers or from independent
fence circuits of the same energizer.

For any two different electric fences, each supplied from a different energizer with
independent timing, the distance between the wires of the two electric fences shall be at
least 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be affected by means of electrically non­conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.

Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer or placed physically close
to an electric fence as these circumstances can create a lethal entanglement/entrapment
hazard.

Appendix

28

Any part of an electric fence which is installed along a public road or pathway shall be
identified at frequent intervals by prominently placed warning signs securely fastened to
the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires. The size of the warning signs shall be
at least 100mm x 200mm. The background colour of both sides of the warning plate shall
be yellow. The inscription on the plate shall be in black.

The warning sign shall typically appear as depicted in the figure below. The inscription
shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning plate and have a height of at least
25mm.

Warning signs shall be placed at;

• each gate

• each access point

• intervals not exceeding 10m

• adjacent to each sign relating to chemical

hazards for the information of emergency services.

Gates in electric security fences shall be capable of being opened without the person
receiving an electric shock.

Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be effectively insulated from the
earthed structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high
voltage cable.

Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in a conduit of insulating material
or else insulated high voltage cable shall be used. Care shall be taken to avoid damage to
the connecting leads due to external factors.

Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring,
communication cables or data cables.

Connecting leads and electric fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communication lines.

Mains supply wiring shall not be installed in the same conduit as signalling leads associated
with the electric security fence installation.

Where an electric security fence passes below bare power line conductors, the highest
metallic element shall be effectively earthed for a distance of not less than 5m on either
side of the crossing point.

Appendix

29

Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing
cannot be avoided, it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at
right angles to it.

If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the
clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table below.

Power Line Voltage Clearance

Equal or less than 1kV 3 meter
Greater than 1kV, but equal or less than 33kV 4 meter
Greater than 33kV 8 meter

If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their
height above the ground shall not exceed 3m.

This height applies either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of
the power line on the ground surface, for a distance of

• 2m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1kV

• 15m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1kV

Electric security fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimizes danger to persons, and reduces the risk of persons
receiving an electric shock unless they attempt to penetrate the physical barrier, or are in a
secure area without authority. Exposed conductive parts of the physical barrier shall be
effectively earthed.

A spacing of 2.5m shall be maintained between non insulated electric fence conductors or
non insulated connecting leads supplied from different energizers. This spacing may be less
where conductors or connecting leads are covered by insulating sleeving, or consist of
insulated cables, rated to at least 10kV.

This requirement need not apply where the separately energized conductors are separated
by a physical barrier, which does not have any openings greater than 50mm.

A vertical separation of not less than 2m shall be maintained between pulsed conductors
fed from different energizers.

Ensure that all ancillary equipment connected to the electric security fence circuit provides
a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that
provided by the energizer. Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary
equipment unless this equipment is certified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use
outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection IPX4.
