FOREWORD
The DRUID LCD 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
remote switch.
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 gate input is functional even when the energizer is not energizing the
fence. Use the Gate Alarm Bypass function if this input is to be ignored.
The DRUID LCD 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.
A new battery with a full charge will typically provide in excess of 24 hours
backup. This time will vary with fence condition though.
The DRUID LCD energizer incorporates an advanced and patented fence
voltage regulation, arc detection and avoidance system. What this means is
that the fence energy is maintained at a higher level than would normally be
achievable 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 fences
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.
