IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instruc ons. Save these instruc ons.
• Warning: 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.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, cables, wires 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.
• Energizer must be installed in a shelter and the supply cord
must not be handled when the ambient temperature is below
+5 deg C.
•
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.
•
Check your local council for specifi c regula ons.
•
Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
•
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.
•
Do not mount in places exposed to heat sources (e.g. a sun heated metal wall).
•
Refer servicing to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.
•
Do not connect two Energizers to the same earth system.
•
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.
•
Ensure the Energizer is fully protected from rain, condensa on and other sources of moisture.
•
Ensure the Energizer has adequate ven la on.
•
Energizers with a Standby mode may turn on or off without warning. The energizer must be disconnected
from the mains supply if it needs to be rendered fully inopera ve.
•
Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed,operated and maintained so that they
cause no electrical hazard to persons, animals or their surroundings.
•
Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construc ons that are likely to lead to the
entanglement of animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE:
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.
•
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
