• WARNING - The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
inrm persons without supervision.
• WARNING - Do not connect to mains-operated equipment.
• 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 liming 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.
• Refer servicing and replacement baeries 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 specic regulaons.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Electric animal fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to persons, animals or their
surroundings.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construcons that are likely to lead to the entanglement of
animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE: Avoid contacng the electric fence wires with the head, mouth, neck or
torso. Do not climb over, through or under a mul-wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• Well maintained electric fences kept clear of vegetaon with high quality insulaon are extremely unlikely to cause res. In
mes of extreme re risk, disconnect energizer.
• 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 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 eected by
means of electrically non-conducve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electried by an energizer.
• A non-electried fence incorporang barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more o-set electried wires
of an electric animal fence. The supporng devices for the electried wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these
wires are posioned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the vercal plane of the non-electried wires. The barbed wire
and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommendaons regarding earthing.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ) of any power, telecommunicaons or other
system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eecvely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the building and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• Connecng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulang material or else insulated high voltage lead-
out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecng leads due to the eects of animal hooves or
tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communicaon cables or data cables.
• Connecng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communicaon lines.
