IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: Read all instruc ons.
Save these instruc ons.
Warning – Do not connect to mains-operated equipment.

• 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 liming 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.

• Refer servicing and replacement ba series to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre.

• Regularly inspect the 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.

• Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated, and maintained in a manner that minimizes danger to persons, animals or their surroundings.

• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construct ons that are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or persons.

• WARNING – INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE : Avoid contact 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.

• Well-maintained electric fences kept clear of Vegeta on with high-quality insula on are extremely unlikely to cause fi res. In times of extreme fi re risk, disconnect energizer.

• 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- conduct 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 support 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 installed instruc ons regarding earthing.

• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and any other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protect ve earth or the telecommunicate on system earth.

• Connect ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec very insulated from the earthed structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using an insulated high voltage cable.

• Connect ng leads that are run underground shall be run in a 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 connector ng leads due to the eff ects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.

• Connect ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communique on cables, or data cables.

• Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communicate 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 below. 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 project 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 factory 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.

• 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 firmly clamped to the fence wires.

• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
  • The background color of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow.
  The inscrip on the sign shall be black and shall be either:
  -the substance of “CAUTION: Electric Fence” or,
  -the symbol is 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 no mains-operated ancillary equipment is connected to the electric animal fence.

• Protec on from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certfied by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection on IPX4.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note: In dry conditions, to improve earthing, use a longer earth stake/ground rod or connect an extra stake/rod as shown below.

TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING

energizer is getting enough sun and facing the correct direction.
•Ensure the energizer is in direct sunlight.
•Turn the energizer OFF for 3 days, leave in the sun to charge the internal battery.
Energizer pulsing slow| Battery capacity is
low due to insufficient sunlight.
Battery LED flashing red.| Temperature protection state. Energizer stopped pulsing to protect the internal battery| •Energizer will self-recover when the temperature returns to normal operating
range.
Stock getting out| No or low voltage on the fence| •Check energizer isn’t faulty;
– disconnect from the fence and earth
– measure across fence and earth terminals
with a Gallagher Fence Voltmeter
– if less than 5 kV return energizer for service
– if more than S kV, check the fence for shorts. Add a supplementary ground rod.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Keep solar panel clean – periodically use a so cloth with water and a mild detergent.
• Do not expose the energizer to excessive temperatures or fi re. (Below -20º C or above 70º C).

Important Ba ery Informa on

Recharging the battery| Switch the energizer off. Place in sunlight for 3 days to charge the battery.
---|---
Storing the energizer| Switch the energizer off. Store in a cool, dry, dark, ventilated area to minimize battery current. Recharge the battery before and after seasonal storage.
Leaking batteries| If battery fluid comes in contact with :
Eyes – flush the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Ensure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
Skin – immediately flush with water and/or soap.
Replacing the battery| This energizer contains a Lithium battery which is not user-replaceable. The lithium battery must be replaced by a trained professional using a Gallagher-approved lithium battery. Return energizer to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre for battery replacement.

Important: Do not dispose of the energizer in a fi re.
