Garden & Pond Kit B10 Roadmap
Planning
Proper preparation is important. First make a sketch of your fence and determine whether you have
enough materials to make the fence. Follow the steps below for a fast and successful installation of
your electric fence.
Contents of the kit
(A) 1 piece Electric fence device B10
(B) 10 pcs. Plastic fence posts (terra)
(C) 25 pcs. Ring insulators
(D) 1 roll 100m Vidoflex (conductive) wire (green)
(E) 1 pc. Earth pin 0.5 metres including 3 metre cable.
(G) 1 pc. Warning sign
(H) 4 pcs. Vidoflex connector
Determine the type of fence
We distinguish two types of electric fencing,
It’s important to know that a shock is only felt when the animal touches the earth at the same time as
it touches the electric fence, as this completes the circuit.
1. The basic system:
This system is easy to build with (plastic or wooden) posts that are placed in the earth.
The wires in the fence are connected to the electric fence device thanks to a fence connection cable.
The earthing device is grounded thanks to an earth pin in the ground.
With simultaneous contact of the wire and the ground underneath, the circuit is closed and a shock
will be felt.
For the explanation of this type of installation, go to:
Part
1 – Electric fence for garden, yard, ponds or around the aviary
in this manual.
2. A plus/minus system:
This
system is needed when the wire in the fence is placed at a higher height, such as a fence on a
barrier, wall or in the gutter.
If you place a wire over a fence, an extra wire will always have to be placed for grounding, also known
as the Plus/Minus system.
In such a system, the wires in the fence are connected alternately directly to the electric fence device.
The placement of an
earth pin isn’t necessary in such a system.
As soon as at least one plus and one minus wire are touched simultaneously, the circuit will be closed
and a shock will be felt.
Note.
The B10 Garden & Pond kit is less suitable for a plus/minus application.
We recommend the Gallagher M10 Garden & Pond Kit for such a system.
For a further explanation of the plus/minus fence, consult the online manual of the Gallagher Garden
& Pond Kit M10 (article number 072347) on www.gallagher.eu.
Electric fence for garden, yard, ponds or around the aviary
Step 1 – Placing the posts
See the
image above for further reference of the articles mentioned in this step-by-step plan.
Determine the location of your desired fence and place a plastic pole (B) in the earth every 4 metres.
