Important Informa on IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: Read all instruc ons. Save these instruc ons.
• Warning: The appliance is not intended for use by young English 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 the 5 Important Informa on
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. • The energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1 m (3 ) and not be
English within 10 m (33 ) of any power, telecommunica ons or other system. • 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 Power line Voltage V Clearance m Less than or equal to 1 000 3 Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000 4 Greater than 33 000 8 • 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 the energizer earth electrode. A warning sign shall be fi ed to every point where persons may gain ready access to the conductors. • 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 fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the energizer. • Protec on from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is cer fi ed by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protec on IPX4. 6 Important Informa on

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insula on are provided instead of grounding. No equipment grounding means is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated controller, nor should a means for equipment grounding be added to the controller. Servicing a double-insulated controller requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualifi ed service personnel. Replacement parts of a double insulated controller must be iden cal to the parts they replace. A double insulated controller is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol for double insula on may also be marked on the appliance.
