Step 5 - Warning sign
Is part of the fence on the street side or in another freely accessible public
area?
In that case, place a supplied ‘warning sign’ (G) in a clearly visible place of
your fence. Use 2 small plastic cable connectors (not supplied) to do this.
To properly test the device and the operation of the fence, we recommend
that you consider purchasing a voltage tester. For the voltage testers, see the gallagher.eu webshop.
No electric impulse?
Check the electric fence device, is it plugged in?
Is the red light on the electric fence device lit?
Is there too much vegetation against the power cord?
Check all connections.
Useful tips
For a successful training of your pet, follow these 3 steps.
1:
Power the fence once it has been built. Prevent your pet from having the opportunity to touch the
fence without being corrected by the electrical impulse.
2:
Stay in the yard with your pet when you first activate the fence. Call ‘no’ if the animal gets an
impulse. Your voice together with the impulse tells it that it’s bad to touch the fence.
3:
It is in the interest of training your pet that shortly after the fence has been placed there has been
contact between the pet and the fence. This way your pet immediately learns that the fence is
forbidden to pass.
Important information
Warning
Read and understand all instructions before using.
Tell your family and neighbours that you have installed an electric fence and how it works.
Instruct all people involved how to turn off the electric fence in the event of an emergency.
The electric fence device must be connected to the galvanised earth pin supplied to ensure
that the installation works perfectly.
Check the local regulations for electrical fencing: these regulations may require a permit
before an electrical fence may be used.
Use double-insulated cable in buildings and in areas where the ground will make the
galvanised wire corrode. Never use the electricity cable used in homes, as it is unsuitable and
will not work.
Risk of electric shock: never connect any other electrical device to your fence at the same
time. Any lightning strike on your fence will then be routed to all other electrical equipment.
