Important Informa On - Gallagher MB1800i Notice D'installation

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instruc ons
• Warning: The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infi rm
persons without supervision.
• 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.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Warning:
from 110/230 VAC mains power.
• When using the Gallagher safety isola ng power supply, ensure the energizer and power supply are used
in a sheltered, well ven lated area fully protected from rain, condensa on and other sources of moisture.
• Refer servicing and replacement ba eries to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place combus ble materials near the fence or energizer connec ons. In mes of extreme fi re risk,
disconnect energizer.
• 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.)
• 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.
• 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.
• Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained in a
manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or their surroundings.
• 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
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.
• A distance of at least 10m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and any
other earthing systm connected parts such as the power supply system protec ve earth or the
telecommunica on system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated from the earthed structural
parts of the building. This may be achieved by using high voltage 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
Use only the Gallagher safety isola ng power supply G40132 to power the energizer
