IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: Read all instructi ons
• 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 constructi 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 +5 deg C.
• 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 limiti 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 combusti ble materials near the fence or energizer connecti ons. In ti 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 regulati 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 inoperati 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 ti med,
the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap is to be
closed, this shall be eff ected by means of electrically non-conducti 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 incorporati 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 supporti ng devices for the electrifi ed wires shall
be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positi oned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from
the verti 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 recommendati ons 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, telecommunicati ons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eff ecti vely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the
building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• Connecti ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulati ng material or else insulated
high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecti ng leads due
to the eff ects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecti ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communicati on
cables or data cables.
• Connecti ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communicati on
lines.
• 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 connecti 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 below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
