1.5 KVA
Electrofisher
Combo
INTRODUCTION
The 1.5 KVA electrofisher is an economically priced, medium powered field unit. It is designed to handle
moderately soft to relatively hard waters. Its light weight and small size make it ideal for both boat and
shore-side operations.

FRONT PANEL
AND CONTROLS
FRONT PANEL
AND CONTROLS
Output Voltage Switch: Located on bottom left,
controls the output voltage in both AC and DC.
The switch is calibrated in AC and DC voltages.
AC voltages from 50 to 200 volts are selected in 25
volt steps, and voltages from 200 to 400 are selected
in 50 volt steps. Peak DC voltages are 1.41 times
the AC values, and are indicated around the switch
perimeter. Warning, do not change the position of
this switch while the output of the Electrofisher is
on, as this will cause arcing on the contacts which
may destroy the switch.
Power-on Switch: Located bottom center. This
switch is the main power switch and also functions
as a circuit breaker to protect the unit in an overload.
Warning, avoid turning this switch off when output
of the Electrofisher is on.
Time/seconds Counter: Located bottom right. This
counter indicates electrofishing time in seconds. It
may be reset by pressing the red button.
High Voltage Indicator Lamp: Located center.
This lamp indicates output voltage at the electrodes
and operates in parallel with the audio tone located
within the electrofisher.
Meter: Located top center. This meter indicates
output current in both AC and DC output modes.
Warning, do not operate this equipment at output
currents greater than 10 amps.
Output Mode Switch: Located top left. This toggle
switch selects the output mode. The AC position
produces 60 Hz alternating current between the
anode and cathode wires. The DC position produces
direct current, pulsing at 120 pulses per second,
with the anode wire positive and the cathode wire
negative. The unit may be modified to produce 60
pulses per second, contact factory for information.
Warning, do not toggle this switch while the output
of the Electrofisher is on.

1.5 KVA front panel
Output Overload Circuit Breaker: This breaker
protects the unit from shorts and overload conditions.
When it is tripped the front will pop out and display
a white indicator. The high voltage lamp and audio
tone will still be on, however no current will be
indicated on the meter and there will be no output.
First clear the fault condition, by removing the
short from the electrodes, or by reducing the output
voltage. Make sure the foot switch is in the off
position, and reset by pressing the button on the
circuit breaker.
Panel Lamps: Located top left and right. These
lamps illuminate the front panel for night operation.
They are on whenever power is applied and the
power switch is on.
REAR PANEL
CONTROLS AND
PLUGS
Panel Lamps: Located top left and right. These
lamps illuminate the front panel for night operation.
They are on whenever power is applied and the
power switch is on.
Cathode Output; pins B and C are for remote
control. They are jumped for single remote control
operation.
Enunciator Audio Output Switch: Located bottom
center right. This switch mutes the audio tone when
in the off position. The tone volume may be adjusted
inside the unit if necessary, contact factory.
1.5 KVA rear panel
Input Power Cord: Located bottom center left. This
cord connects the unit to a source of power; 120 VAC
60Hz. A cord-storage bracket is provided top center
to retain this cord.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS AND
PLUGS
Anode Socket: Located bottom left. The anode
cable plugs in to this receptacle. Pins A and D are
used for anode output; pins B and C are connected
for foot switch or anode pole switch remote control
of electrofisher output. This is compatible with
standard backpack anode poles and extension cables,
contact factory for price and availability.
Cathode Socket: Located bottom right. The cathode
cable connects to this receptacle. Pins A and D
are used for Output overload circuit breaker: This
breaker protects the unit from shorts and overload
conditions. When it is tripped the front will pop out
and display a white indicator. The high voltage lamp
and audio tone will still be on, however no current
will be indicated on the meter and there will be no
output. First clear the fault condition, by removing
the short from the electrodes, or by reducing the
output voltage. Make sure the foot switch is in the
off position, and reset by pressing the button on the
circuit breaker.

SET-UP, ELECTROFISHING
AND SPECIFICATIONS
SET-UP PROCEDURE
Connect suitable electrodes to the cables provided
with your electrofisher. The cable with the red end
and the foot switch connects to the anode. The
cable with the black end connects to the cathode.
ELECTROFISHING PROCEDURE
Set the output voltage switch to 50 volts and the
mode switch to AC or DC as desired. Turn on the
main power switch, the panel lamps should come
on. Step on the remote control foot switch or press
the anode pole switch if used. An audio tone should
be heard and the front panel high voltage indicator
lamp should light. If the audio tone is not wanted,
turn the audio enunciator switch to off. If the
Ammeter does not show much current being drawn,
let up on the foot switch and move the voltage range
switch to the next higher range. Repeat the above
steps until enough current is drawn to effect the fish
satisfactorily. Generally 3 to 6 amps is sufficient.
However, up to 10 amps can be drawn at voltages
below 150 volts. On voltages higher than 150, less
current is available without exceeding the 1500 watt
power rating of the unit, see table below.
VOLTAGE SELECTED
MAX. CURRENT
150 AC or 212 DC and lower
10 amp
175 AC or 247 DC
8.6 amp
200 AC or 282 DC
7.5 amp
250 AC or 354 DC
6.0 amp
300 AC or 424 DC
5.0 amp
350 AC or 495 DC
4.3 amp
400 AC or 566 DC
3.8 amp
A certain amount of experimentation will be
required to learn what mode and voltage settings
are best for various water conditions and fish being
stunned. Larger fish are stunned easier and require
less power while small fish take higher settings.
The AC positions cause much more severe action
and are not normally used with sensitive species.
