Description
The BM1 (PTE0211) is a basic electric fence monitor. It provides an alarm when your
electric fence is cut or shorted, or the energiser has been turned off. When connected to the
end of the fence (return wire) the BM1 can monitor one complete circuit (zone) of electric
fence.
This monitor can be powered from a 12V power supply, or a 12V battery. If you need the
monitor to operate during a power failure, consider using a 12V lead acid battery that is
being kept charged from a battery charger or solar panel.
The BM1 is intended to be used with pulsed type electric fence energisers with output
voltages of 10kV or less. The energiser should conform to IEC60335.2.76 or similar.
The BM1 includes two switched 12V outputs:
Siren
Strobe
It also has an internal Beeper, which can be muted with a shunt (supplied).
This product has three different ways to perform a reset:
Built-in switch
[Optional] Magnetic reed switch
External push button switch.
1. Turn the electric fence energiser off
2. Remove the cover from the BM1
3. Wire the 12V and Gnd to a 12V power supply or battery, but leave the power off
4. Attach the optional external equipment now
a. Siren
b. Strobe
c. External reset switch
5. Connect wires from the fence to the BM1
a. Fence binding post
b. Ground binding post
6. Keep these fence wires at least 25mm away from all the other “low voltage” wires
77. Turn the electric fence energiser on
8. Turn the 12V power supply on/plug in the battery
9. The “GOOD” LED should flash at once and then pulse with the fence
10. Wait 30 seconds
11. If your fence voltage is good the BM1 should not go into alarm
a. Green “Good” LED is PULSING
b. Red “Alarm” LED is OFF
c. Beeper, Siren and Strobe are OFF
12. Turn the electric fence energiser off
13. Wait a few seconds (30 seconds if [VR2] “Delay” is clockwise)
