IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Warning: Read all instructions
• WARNING - Do not connect to mains-operated equipment.
• Avoid contacting the electric fence wires 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.
• 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.
• Well maintained electric fences kept clear of vegetation with high quality insulation are extremely unlikely to cause fires. In
times of extreme fire risk, disconnect energizer.
• 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 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by
means of electrically non-conductive 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 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.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ft) of any power, telecommunications or other
system.
• Except for low output battery operated energizers, the energizer earth stake should penetrate the ground to a depth of at
least 1 m (3 ft).
• 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 galvanized 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.
• 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 connecting 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.
