IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instructions
• Do NOT touch 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.
• Do not mount in places exposed to heat sources (e.g. a sun heated metal wall.)
• Ensure the Energizer has adequate ven la on.
• 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.
• Disconnect energizer before charging ba ery.
• Do not place combus ble materials near the fence or energizer connec ons. In mes of extreme fi re
risk, disconnect energizer.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord and energizer for any damage. If found damaged in any way,
immediately cease use of the energizer and return it to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre for repair
in order to avoid a hazard.
• 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 8
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 6 inches
(150mm) 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 33 (10m) of any power,
telecommunica ons or other system.
• Except for low output ba ery operated energizers, the energizer earth electrode should penetrate the
ground to a depth of at least 3 (1m).
• 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 galvanised 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.
• If connected to a mains power circuit that doesn't have a Residual Current Device (RCD), then a plug-in
RCD should always be used.
• 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

(2.5m). If this
