Gallagher 3E4410 M550 Energizer User Manual

• Do not climb over, through or under a mul -wire electric
fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• 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 med, 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 eff ected by means of electrically
non-conduc ve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrifi ed by an energizer.
• A non-electrifi ed fence incorpora ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one
or more off -set electrifi ed wires of an electric animal fence. The suppor ng devices for the
electrifi ed wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are posi oned at a
minimum distance of 150 mm from the ver cal plane of the non-electrifi ed wires. The barbed
wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommenda ons regarding earthing.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and any
other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protec ve earth or
the telecommunica on system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated from the earthed
structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.
• Connec ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insula ng material or else
insulated high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the
connec ng leads due to the eff ects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connec ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring,
communica on cables or data cables.
• Connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communica on lines.
• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing
cannot be avoided it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right
angles to it.
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line,
the clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table below.
