IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instrucƟ ons
• WARNING: Avoid contacƟ ng the electric fence wires especially with the head, mouth, neck or torso. Do
not climb over, through or under a mulƟ -wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing
point.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construcƟ ons that are likely to lead to the
entanglement of animals or persons.
• Energizer must be installed in a shelter and the supply cord must not be handled when the ambient
temperature is below +41 deg F.
• Ensure the Energizer is fully protected from rain, condensaƟ on and other sources of moisture.
• Do not mount in places exposed to heat sources (e.g. a sun heated metal wall.)
• Ensure the Energizer has adequate venƟ laƟ on.
• Electric animal fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to persons,
animals or their surroundings.
• It is recommended that, in all areas where there is a likely presence of unsupervised children who will be
unaware of the dangers of electric fencing, that a suitably rated current limiƟ ng device having a resistance
of not less than 500 ohms be connected between the energizer and the electric fence in this area.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or inĮ rm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not place combusƟ ble materials near the fence or energizer connecƟ ons. In Ɵ mes of extreme Į re risk,
disconnect energizer.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord and energizer for any damage. If found damaged in any way,
immediately cease use of the energizer and return it to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre for repair in
order to avoid a hazard.
• Refer servicing to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.
• Check your local council for speciĮ c regulaƟ ons.
• Energizers with a Standby mode may turn on or oī without warning. The energizer must be disconnected
from the mains supply if it needs to be rendered fully inoperaƟ ve.
• An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from independent fence
circuits of the same energizer.
• For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energizer independently Ɵ med,
the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 6 Ō . If this gap is to be
closed, this shall be eī ected by means of electrically non-conducƟ ve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Do not connect two Energizers to the same earth system.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electriĮ ed by an energizer.
• A non-electriĮ ed fence incorporaƟ ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
oī -set electriĮ ed wires of an electric animal fence. The supporƟ ng devices for the electriĮ ed wires shall
be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are posiƟ oned at a minimum distance of 6 in. from the
verƟ cal plane of the non-electriĮ ed wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular
intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommendaƟ ons regarding earthing.
• The energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 3 Ō and not be within 33
Ō of any power, telecommunica
Ɵ ons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eī ecƟ vely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the
building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• ConnecƟ ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulaƟ ng material or else insulated
high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecƟ ng leads due
to the eī ects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• ConnecƟ ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communicaƟ on
cables or data cables.
• ConnecƟ ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communicaƟ on
lines.
• If connected to a mains power circuit that doesn’t have a Residual Current Device (RCD), then a plug-in RCD
should always be used.
• 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 connecƟ ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the
clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table following:
