Gallagher 3E1399 S17 S22 Portable Fence Energizer
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNINGS: Read all instruc ons
Do not connect to mains operated equipment, including ba ery chargers.
Non-rechargeable ba eries should not be used.
• Avoid contac ng the fence 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.
• Do not place combus ble materials near the fence or energizer connec ons. 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 following.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m
• 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:-
• 2 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
• 15 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as cows need only be supplied from low
output energizers to obtain sa sfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roos ng on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be connected to an earth stake. A
warning sign shall be fi ed to every point where persons may gain ready access to the conductors.
• 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-electrifi 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 electrifi ed wires shall
carry warning signs.
• 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 100mm x 200mm.
• The background colour 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 25mm.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides a degree of isola on between the
