Less than or equal to 1 000 10
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000 13
Greater than 33 000 26
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
above the ground shall not exceed 10 .
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projec on of the outermost conductors of the power
line on the ground surface, for a distance of:-
-
6 for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000V;
-
50 for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000V.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electri fi ed gate shall be incorporated
in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of s les shall be provided. At any such
crossing, the adjacent electri
fi ed wires shall carry warning signs (G6020).
• Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be iden fi ed by
electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely
fastened to the fence posts or
fi rmly clamped to the fence wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 4 inches x 8 inches.
• The background color of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow.
The inscrip on on the sign shall be black and shall be either:
-
the substance of “CAUTION: Electric Fence” or,
-
the symbol shown:
• The inscrip on shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning
sign and have a height of at least 1 inch.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit
provides a degree of isola on between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided
by the energizer.
• Protec on from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is
cer fi ied by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors and is of a type with a minimum degree
of protec on IPX4.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not connect the energizer simultaneously to a fence and to any
other device such as a ca le trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will
be conducted to all other devices.
This energizer complies with interna onal safety regula ons and is manufactured to interna onal standards.
Gallagher reserves the right to make changes without no ce to any product speci
fi ca on to improve reliability,
func on or design. E & OE.

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insula on are provided instead of grounding. No equipment
grounding means is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated controller, nor should a means for
equipment grounding be added to the controller. Servicing a double-insulated controller requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by quali
fi ed service personnel. Replacement
parts of a double insulated controller must be iden cal to the parts they replace. A double insulated
controller is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol for double
insula on
may also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fence controller has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will
fi t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it s ll does not fi t, contact a quali fi ed electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
