Cyclops Instruction Manual
READ INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK WHEN COVER IS REMOVED. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Congratulations on purchasing a high quality low impedance electric fence charger. A low
impedance charger will maintain a substantial charge to the fence if the fence is loaded by grass
or other vegetation.

This charger operators from a 120VAC supply.

INSIDE INSTALLATION ONLY!

For best performance from your new electric fence charger, mount the fence charger securely
using the mounting tabs built into the plastic box (you will need to rotate the tabs to extend
above the plastic box).
You will need a good connection to the ground (earth). Install 1 ground rod eight feet into the
ground for each 4 joules of output power, plus one for the unit(see diagram inside). Connect the
ground rod to the ground terminal of the electric fence charger with a 12 GA. or larger wire. After
making sure that the electric fence charger is not plugged into the supply source, you should
connect the Fence terminal to the electric fence wire insulated from the posts that surrounds
the area in which you will maintain your animals. Then ,plug the electric fence charger into a
120VAC supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
The light on the front of the unit should blink each time the charger clicks (~once per second). If
the light does not blink with every click of the charger, but skips a click, then the fence is heavily
loaded and should be checked. When the charger is clicking and the light does not blink at all
then the fence is shorted or fuse is blown. Please refer to troubleshooting label on the charger.
To prevent electric shock, always disconnect the charger before attempting to remove the short
from the fence. Do not plug the charger into a ground fault interrupter (GFI) outlet. The powerful
internal surge suppressor will trip a GFI outlet. Replace with a normal outlet.
Fuse Replacement
Replace fuse only with 3AC recommended fuse size. SEe troubleshooting labels on your
charger for correct fuse size.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fence controller has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug doesn not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
