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.
• 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.
• In areas of public access, use an electric fence warning sign (G6020) every 10m (33ft) to identify the electrified
wire(s).
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall be incorporated in the
electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be provided. At any such crossing, the
adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs (G6020).
• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.
• Lead-acid batteries must be placed in a well-ventilated area during charging.
• 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.
• 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 2m. If this gap is to be closed, this
shall be effected by means of electrically nonconductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
• 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 150mm 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 1m (3ft) and not be within 10m
(33ft) 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 cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the effects of
