IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Warning: Read all instructions
•
WARNING
- The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm 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 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.
•
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 Authoirised Service Centre for
repair in order to avoid a hazard.
•
Check your local council for specific regulations.
•
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 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.
•
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.
•
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.
