Step 2. Install the Earth system
Buildings and gates for example, can become electrifi ed with fence voltages if the
energizer is improperly earthed.
Follow earthing instruc ons carefully.
a) Install at least 3 x 1.5m (5
) galvanised earth stakes into damp soil where
possible. In dry condi ons or in low mineral content soil more earth stakes
may be required. Earth stakes must be at least 3m (10 ) apart and at least
10m (33 ) away from any mains cabling, telephone cabling, water pipes or
building earth. Do not connect the earth terminal to any building metal work
or framing.
b) To a ach the earth cable:
1. Using Underground Cable (G627) remove 5cm (2”) of plas c coa ng from
one end of the cable wire and connect to the green (
) terminal on the
energizer.
2. A ach the cable to the earth system by removing 10cm (4”) of insula on
from the cable at each Earth Stake (G879) and then clamp the exposed
wire to each stake using an Earth Clamp (G876).
3. Tighten the clamp.
For further instruc ons on the earth (ground) system see the Gallagher Power

10m (33 ) from the main energizer earth system and at least 10m (33 ) from
any mains cabling, telephone cabling, water pipes or building earth.
