Important Informa On - Gallagher M1800i Manual De Instrucciones

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instruc ons
• Do NOT touch 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.
• 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, condensa 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 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 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.
• Energizers with a Standby mode may turn on or off without warning. The energizer must be disconnected
from the mains supply if it needs to be rendered fully inopera 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 med,
the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 6 . If this gap is to be
closed, this shall be eff ected by means of electrically non-conduc 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 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 6 in. 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.
• The energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 3
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 galvanized 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 lead-out 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.
• 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 connec 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:
