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.
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 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.
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 2.5 m. 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 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.
•
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, telecommunications or
other system.
