IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instructions
• Avoid contac ng the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a mul -wire
electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construc ons that are likely to lead to the entanglement
of animals or persons.
• Do not mount in places exposed to heat sources (e.g. a sun heated metal wall).
• Ensure the Energizer has adequate ven la 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 limi 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 infi rm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use non-rechargeable ba eries.
• Lead-acid ba eries must be placed in a well-ven lated area during charging.
• Do not place combus ble materials near the fence or energizer connec ons. In mes of extreme fi 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 specifi c regula ons.
• 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 med, the
distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 2m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall
be eff ected by means of electrically nonconduc ve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrifi ed by an energizer.
• A non-electrifi ed fence incorpora ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more off -set electrifi ed
wires of an electric animal fence. The suppor ng devices for the electrifi ed wires shall be constructed so as to ensure
that these wires are posi oned at a minimum distance of 150mm from the ver cal plane of the non-electrifi ed wires.
The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommenda ons regarding earthing.
• Except for low output ba ery operated energizers, the energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a
depth of at least 1m (3 ).
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10m (33 ) of any power, telecommunica ons or
other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eff ec vely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the building and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanised wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• Connec ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insula ng material or else insulated high voltage
cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connec ng leads due to the eff ects of animal hooves
or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connec ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communica on cables or data
cables.
• Connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communica 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.
