5. אויפשטעלן און אינסטאַלירן
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Gallagher M160 Electric Fence Charger:
5.1 Mounting the Energizer
The M160 is designed for hassle-free mounting. Choose a dry, sheltered location indoors, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Secure the energizer to a wall or sturdy post using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes provided on the unit.
Figure 3: The M160 energizer easily mounts to a wall, demonstrating simple fence and ground connections.
5.2 Connecting to Fence and Ground
- Ground System: Install at least one 6-foot (1.8 meter) galvanized ground rod into the earth, preferably in a damp area. For optimal performance, especially with longer fences or in dry conditions, additional ground rods may be necessary. Connect the green ground terminal on the energizer to the ground rod using a suitable insulated wire.
- פענס ליניע: Connect the red fence terminal on the energizer to your electric fence line using a high-voltage insulated lead-out wire. Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
5.3 מאַכט אויף
Once the energizer is securely mounted and the fence and ground connections are made, plug the M160 into a standard 110 Volt AC power outlet. The green 'power on' indicator light on the front of the unit should illuminate, indicating that the energizer is active and sending pulses to the fence.
6. אָפּעראַציע
The Gallagher M160 operates continuously once powered on, sending regular electrical pulses through the fence line.
- מאַכט אויף ינדיקאַטאָר: The green light provides a quick visual confirmation that the energizer is functioning. If this light is off, check the power supply and connections.
- Fence Performance: The M160 is designed to deliver consistent power. Its 1.6 Joules of stored energy is sufficient for controlling livestock and deterring predators across significant distances.

7. וישאַלט
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your M160 energizer and electric fence system.
- וויסואַל דורכקוק: Periodically check the energizer for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the casing or frayed wires.
- קשר טשעקס: Ensure all fence and ground connections remain tight and free of corrosion. Loose connections can reduce fence performance.
- וועגעטאציע קאנטראל: Keep vegetation clear from the fence line. Grass and weeds touching the fence can "short out" the system, reducing its effectiveness.
- Ground System Check: Ensure the ground rod(s) remain firmly in the earth and are not corroded.
- רייניקונג: If necessary, gently wipe the energizer's exterior with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
