How The Energizer Works; Practical Hints - Gallagher M350 Notice D'installation

HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS

The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one second
apart. These pulses give the animal a short, sharp, but safe shock. The shock
doesn't harm the animal. It is suffi ciently memorable that the animal never
forgets the shock, and will avoid the fence.

Practical Hints

• Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require a permit
before use.
• Periodically check that the energizer is opera ng by checking that the indicator
light is fl ashing.
• Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds or shrubs
because these will cause the fence to short out and will reduce animal control.
• All animals need me to learn to respect the fence. It may take several days to
train the animal and the fence may require minor adjustments.
• Animals that are prone to jumping may be diffi cult to confi ne. You may need to try
diff erent fence heights to determine the best height.
• Use top quality insulators: low quality or cracked insulators and plas c tubing are
not recommended because they will cause shor ng.
• Use joint clamps on all steel wire connec ons to ensure a high quality circuit.
• This energizer must be earthed using galvanised metal earth stakes to ensure the
electric fence works correctly.
• Double Insulated Cable should be used in buildings, under gateways and where
soil could corrode exposed galvanised wire. Never use household electrical cable.
It is made for a maximum of 600 volts and will leak electricity.
• On permanent power fencing, use high tensile 12.5 gauge (2.5 mm) wire.
