Important Information - Gallagher M35 Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: Read all instructions. Save these instructions.
• Warning: 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.
• 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 limiting 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 specific regulations.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Well maintained electric fences kept clear of vegetation with high quality insulation are extremely unlikely
to cause fires. In times of extreme fire 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, condensation and other sources of moisture.
• Ensure the Energizer has adequate ventilation.
• 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 inoperative.
• 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 constructions that are likely to lead to the
entanglement of animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE:
Avoid contacting the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso.
Do not climb over, through or under a multi-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 timed,
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 effected by means of electrically non-conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
• A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for the electrified wires shall
be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positioned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the
