Gallagher Security F5 and F6 Fence Controllers Coming To SAGE 2026 November 19!
Gallagher Security F5 and F6 Fence Controllers – Gallagher Security’s brand new F5 and F6 Fence Controllers bring safety-monitored pulse fence technology to perimeter security applications, combining intrusion detection with controlled energisation for sites requiring an active perimeter deterrent.
Gallagher will be demonstrating the F5 and F6 at SAGE in Canberra on 19 November showing off features making them ideal for multi-zone perimeter applications where detection, deterrence and safety are required.
The F5 and F6 models incorporate Smart Sync, while the F6 adds Safety Extra Low Voltage readiness and Dual Pulse Peak Measurement. Smart Sync addresses the timing of pulses across multi-zone energised fences. Where controllers pulse independently, timing can drift and out-of-sync pulses can create unsafe conditions. Under the IEC 60335-2-76 international safety standard, energisers must reduce their output to defined safe limits when synchronisation is lost, until it is restored.
Smart Sync maintains consistent pulse timing along the fence and automatically adjusts energy levels if the sync signal drops. This allows the fence to continue operating as an intrusion deterrent while reducing the safety risk associated with loss of synchronisation.
Sync runs over low-voltage cable for up to 1.2km, or 50km on fibre, and a controller can take its sync from a neighbouring site as well as its own – so adjoining perimeters under different owners can be kept in step.
The new F5 and F6 are compatible with Gallagher Command Centre v9.40 and above and retain the footprint of earlier models, simplifying replacement and installation. They can operate as standalone systems or be deployed with Gallagher Controller 7000 series hardware, supporting installations ranging from single-zone protection through to larger multi-zone and multi-controller perimeter systems.
All four units – F5 and F6, single and dual-zone – get Smart Sync, High Voltage mode and Low Feel, which keeps a circuit fully monitored at a reduced deterrent level. The F6 adds HVplus, a reactive deterrent that steps the fence to maximum power on the next pulse after an attack and holds it for 20 minutes, and SELV readiness, which lets a site run the fence for detection only with deterrent off. HVplus needs Gallagher’s enhanced insulators and isn’t offered on UK and European variants; SELV arrives as a post-release software update.
Alarms cover fence voltage drop, power supply failure, tamper, over-temperature, sync loss and battery test failure, and the units swap in for F3, F4 and Trophy FT controllers on the same footprint – Smart Sync compliance without a rebuild.
