IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Warning: Read all instructions
• Do NOT touch the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire
electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence constructions 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
in below +5 deg C.
• Ensure the Energizer is fully protected from rain, condensation 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 ventilation.
• 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 limiting 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 infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not place combustible materials near the fence or energizer connections. In times of extreme fire 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 specific regulations.
• Energizers with a Standby mode may turn on or off without warning. The energuzer must be disconnected from
the mains supply if it needs to be rendered fully inoperative.
• 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 timed, the
distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 2 m. If this gap is to be closed, this
shall be effected by means of electrically nonconductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Do not ocnnect two Energiers to the same earth system.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
• A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more off-set
electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for the electrified wires shall be constructed
so as to ensure that these wires are positioned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the vertical plane of the
non-electrified wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommendations regarding earthing.
• The energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1 m (3 ft) and not be within 10
m (33 ft) of any power, telecommunications or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to effectively insulate from the earthed structural parts of the
building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanised wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulating material or else insulated high
voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the
effects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communication cables or
data cables.
• Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communication 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.
