Important Informa On - Gallagher S16 Notice D'installation

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Warning: Read all instruc ons
• WARNING - Do not connect to mains-operated equipment.
• Avoid contac ng the electric fence wires with the head, mouth, neck or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a mul -
wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construc ons that are likely to lead to the entanglement of
animals or persons.
• Electric animal fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to persons, animals or their
surroundings.
• 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 limi ng device having a resistance of not less than 500 ohms be
connected between the energizer and the electric fence in this area.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infi rm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Well maintained electric fences kept clear of vegeta on with high quality insula on are extremely unlikely to cause fi res. In
mes of extreme fi re risk, disconnect energizer.
• Refer servicing to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.
• Check your local council for specifi c regula ons.
• 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.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ) of any power, telecommunica ons or other
system.
• Except for low output ba ery operated energizers, the energizer earth stake should penetrate the ground to a depth of at
least 1 m (3 ).
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eff ec vely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the building and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical 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.
