IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING - The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
• 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.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: For the purposes of recharging the battery, only use the G40110 detachable supply unit
provided with this energizer.
• When using the Gallagher safety isolating power supply, ensure the energizer and power supply are used
in a sheltered, well ventilated area fully protected from rain, condensation and other sources of moisture.
• Refer servicing and replacement batteries to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, cables, wires 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.
• Check your local council for specific regulations.
• 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).
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• 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.
• Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained in a
manner that minimizes danger to persons, animals or their surroundings.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence constructions that are likely to lead to the
entanglement of animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE: Avoid contacting 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.
• 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.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and any
