Gallagher Security has unveiled its new F5 and F6 Fence Controllers, representing the latest advancement in safety-monitored pulse fence technology.
This new generation of controllers is engineered to set a standard in safety, performance, and reliability, providing advanced features tailored to contemporary security settings.
Flexible deployment options
Designed for high-performance perimeter security, the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers offer intelligent intrusion detection along with flexible deployment options. These controllers boast enhanced safety functionality that aligns with the latest international standards, such as IEC 60335-2-76, ensuring long-term operational compliance across various regional specifications.
Dave Solly, a Senior Product Manager at Gallagher Security, expresses his enthusiasm about the new additions: “Gallagher’s perimeter solutions are designed to deter, detect, and delay intruders, providing robust, flexible protection tailored to each site’s unique requirements,” he states.
Intelligent perimeter solutions
The F5 and F6 models elevate safety standards with innovative features like smart synchronisation
The F5 and F6 models elevate safety standards with innovative features like smart synchronisation, ensuring compliance with newly defined safe operation limits for energised fences. These are the latest offerings from Gallagher in intelligent perimeter solutions, suitable for securing critical infrastructures such as utilities, remote facilities like mines, and transport and logistics hubs.
The F6 series introduces several enhanced features, including:
- Smart Synchronisation
- Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) preparedness for movement detection in sensitive areas
- Dual Pulse Peak Measurement (DPPM) for improved alarm functionality on high-specification fences using dual pulse setups
Multi-controller Installations
According to Dave Solly, these new controllers are compatible with Gallagher Command Centre v9.40 and above, while ensuring backward compatibility for ease of installation. Key to their design is the adaptability for diverse site requirements.
“The F5 and F6 series are designed to function independently or integrate smoothly with the Gallagher Controller 7000 series and the Gallagher Command Centre ecosystem, allowing End Users to scale from single-zone to multi-zone and multi-controller setups,” Dave explains.
Evolving security environment
Dave also notes the importance of intelligence and adaptability in today's security environment. “The new series provides advanced features and future-readiness, along with Smart Sync technology. This ensures consistent pulse synchronisation along the fence, automatically adjusting energy levels if a sync signal is lost, thereby maintaining the fence's deterrent capability under all conditions,” he comments.
“Offering both standalone and networked installation options, dual‑zone configurations, and full integration with the Gallagher Command Centre, the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers are designed to deliver exceptional scalability and flexibility for sites of all sizes," Dave concludes.
Gallagher Security announces the release of its new F5 and F6 Fence Controllers, marking the latest generation of enhanced safety monitored pulse fence technology.
Engineered to set a new benchmark in safety, performance, and reliability, the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers introduce advanced safety features designed to meet the demands of modern security environments.
Flexible deployment options
Purpose-built for high-performance perimeter protection, the new fence controllers provide intelligent intrusion detection, flexible deployment options, and enhanced safety functionality in line with latest international safety standards. They are built to comply with IEC 60335-2-76 as well as multiple regional variants to ensure long-term operational viability.
Dave Solly, Gallagher Security Senior Product Manager, is pleased to welcome the new fence controllers to Gallagher’s product suite. “Gallagher’s perimeter solutions are designed to deter, detect, and delay intruders, providing robust, flexible protection tailored to each site’s unique requirements,” says Dave.
Intelligent perimeter solutions
“Regardless of what you are securing, whether critical infrastructure like utilities, remote facilities like mining, or transport and logistics yards, the new F5 and F6 Fence Controllers take safety to the next level, with enhanced features like smart synchronisation enabling compliance to the newly introduced ‘safe limits’ for operation of energised fences. The F5 and F6 Fence Controllers are Gallagher’s latest development in intelligent perimeter solutions.”
The F6 series introduces enhanced features including:
- Smart Synchronisation
- Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) readiness to detect movement at sensitive areas without deterrence
- Dual Pulse Peak Measurement (DPPM) which brings enhanced alarm functionality for high-specification fences using dual pulse configuration
Multi-controller installations
Dave says the new controllers are compatible with Gallagher Command Centre v9.40 and above, while maintaining consistency with earlier models for streamlined installation. A key design priority was ensuring adaptability across a wide variety of sites.
“The F5 and F6 series are designed to operate independently or seamlessly integrate with the award-winning Gallagher Controller 7000 series and Gallagher Command Centre ecosystem, giving End Users a scalable pathway from single-zone protection to layered, multi-zone, and multi-controller installations,” says Dave.
Evolving security environment
He adds that the rapidly evolving security environment means End Users require more intelligence and flexibility from perimeter systems. “The new series delivers advanced features and future ready capability, along with Smart Sync technology, which maintains consistent pulse synchronisation along the fence and automatically adjusts energy levels if a sync signal is lost. This ensures the fence continues to provide the safest form of deterrent in all conditions,” says Dave.
“With support for standalone or networked installations, dual‑zone configurations, and full integration with Gallagher Command Centre, the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers provide unmatched scalability and adaptability for sites of any size.”
