Important Informaon
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: Read all instrucons
• Avoid contacng the electric fence wires 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.
• Energizer must be installed in a shelter and the supply cord must not be handled when the ambient
temperature is below +41 deg F.
• Ensure the Energizer is fully protected from rain, condensaon and other sources of moisture.
• 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 infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not place combusble materials near the fence or energizer connecons. In mes of extreme fire 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 specific regulaons.
• Energizers with a Standby mode may turn on or offwithout warning. The energizer must be disconnected
from the mains supply if it needs to be rendered fully inoperave.
• 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 6 . If this gap is to be
closed, this shall be effected by means of electrically non-conducve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Do not connect two Energizers to the same earth system.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
• A non-electrified fence incorporang barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporng devices for the electrified wires shall
be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are posioned at a minimum distance of 6 in. from the
vercal plane of the non-electrified 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 3 and not be within 33
of any power, telecommunica
ons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to effec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 effects 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
clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table following:

6
English
Important Informaon
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line Voltage V Clearance ft
Less than or equal to 1 000 10
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000 13
Greater than 33 000 26
• If connecng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
above the ground shall not exceed 10.
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:-
-6 for power lines operang at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000V;
-50 for power lines operang at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000V.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified 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 electrified wires shall carry warning signs (G6020).
• Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be idenfied by
electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely
fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 4 inches x 8 inches.
• The background color 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 1 inch.
• 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fiied by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors and is of a type with a minimum degree
of protecon IPX4.

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 qualified 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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fence controller has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it sll does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

How the energizer works
HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS
The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one second apart.
These pulses give the livestock a short, sharp, but safe shock. The shock doesn’t
harm the livestock. It is sufficiently memorable that the livestock never forgets the
shock, and will avoid the fence.
Practical Hints
• Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require a permit
before use.
• Periodically check that the energizer is operang by checking that the
indicator light is flashing.
• Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds or shrubs
because these will cause the fence to short out and will reduce livestock
control.
• All livestock need me to learn to respect the fence. It may take several days
to train the livestock and the fence may require minor adjustments.
• Livestock that are prone to jumping may be difficult to confine. You may
need to try different fence heights to determine the best height.
• Use top quality insulators: low quality or cracked insulators and plasc
tubing are not recommended because they will cause shorng.
• Use joint clamps on all steel wire connecons to ensure a high quality circuit.
• This energizer must be grounded using galvanized metal ground rods to
ensure the electric fence works correctly.
• Double Insulated Cable should be used in buildings, under gateways and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Never use household
electrical cable. It is made for a maximum of 600 volts and will leak
electricity.
• On permanent power fencing, use high tensile 12.5 gauge wire.

5STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1. Mount the Energizer
The energizer is easy to install. Mount the energizer on a wall,
under cover, out of reach of children, adjacent to a power
outlet.
Install where there is no risk of the energizer incurring fire or
mechanical damage.
a) Using the template on the center page as a drilling
guide, drill 2 x 5/32” holes (A & B).
b) Fix the screws provided into the wall leaving the head
of the screw about 1/8” out from the wall.
c) Place the energizer over and slide down onto the
mounng screws.
Step 2. Install the Ground system
Buildings and gates for example, can become electrified with fence voltages if the
energizer is improperly grounded.

5-Step Installaon Guide
Follow grounding instrucons carefully.
The most effecve place for a ground system is in connuously damp soil, see
illustraon a. For dry areas with poor condions, see illustraon b.
Install the ground system at least 33from any power supply ground rod,
underground telephone or power cable. Drive one 6ground rod into the ground,
unl only 2” remain above the ground.
To aach the ground cable:
1. Using double insulated cable, remove 2” of plasc coang from one end of the
cable wire.
2. Connect the ground wire to the energizer.
a. Bend the end of the wire to form a loop.
b. Unscrew the green (GROUND) terminal on the energizer and insert the
loop of wire between the washers.
c. Screw the terminal closed, ensuring the wire is firmly clamped.
3. Lay out the cable down walls and out to the ground rod.
4. Aach the cable to the ground rod by removing 4” of insulaon from the cable
at the ground rod, then clamp the exposed wire to the stake using a ground
clamp.
5. Tighten the clamp.
Note: Poor grounding can cause interference on telephone lines, radios and
televisions. This can be recognized by a clicking sound on telephones.

Step 3. How to install the fence
1. Plan the fence line. Avoid rough, stony or steep areas if possible. For best
electric fence performance use mul-wire (at least 3 wires connected in
parallel) fencing.
2. Run out the boom wire between the end posts.
2. Tension wires unl there is only a slight visible sag.
3. Connect all hot wires in parallel at the end of each fence secon using Joint
Clamps G6030.
4. Connect the fence system under gateways, rather than overhead. Do not use
electric gates to get power across gateways. Install Lead-out Cable G6270 in a
plasc pipe buried 12” deep. Turn the ends of the pipe down to keep water out.
Connect each end of the cable to the Joint Clamps.
5. When joining wires under tension, use a figure eight or reef knot.
Offset Fence
Exisng non-electric fences can be protected to last for many more years simply
by aaching offset brackets and an electrified wire on one or both sides of the
non-electric fence. Use a single offset wire, posioned at two thirds the height of the
livestock (chest height) to be controlled.
