Gallagher Security has unveiled its latest technological innovation with the release of the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers. These new controllers represent a significant leap forward in safety monitored pulse fence technology, designed to enhance safety, performance, and reliability.
Aimed at addressing the diverse needs of modern security environments, the F5 and F6 models incorporate advanced safety features and flexible deployment options.
Advanced Intrusion Detection and Safety Compliance
Specially engineered for high-performance perimeter protection, the F5 and F6 Fence Controllers offer intelligent intrusion detection and enhanced safety functionality. They are designed in accordance with the latest international safety standards, including IEC 60335-2-76, and multiple regional variations. This ensures the controllers' long-term operational viability and capability to meet evolving security demands.
"Gallagher’s perimeter solutions are designed to deter, detect, and delay intruders, providing robust, flexible protection tailored to each site’s unique requirements," notes Dave Solly, Gallagher Security Senior Product Manager.
Innovative Features and Compatibility
The controllers introduce smart synchronization technologies that align with new 'safe limits'
The controllers introduce smart synchronization technologies that align with new 'safe limits' for operating energized fences, ensuring the highest level of safety. Additional features include Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) readiness to detect movement in sensitive areas without activating deterrents, and Dual Pulse Peak Measurement (DPPM) for enhanced alarm functionality in high-specification fences.
Dave Solly highlights the importance of compatibility, stating, "The F5 and F6 series are designed to operate independently or seamlessly integrate with the Gallagher Controller 7000 series and Command Centre v9.40 and above." This design priority ensures that the new controllers can be easily installed across various sites, streamlining the process and providing scalability from single-zone protection to more complex multi-zone installations.
Adaptability in an Evolving Security Landscape
The rapidly changing security environment requires heightened intelligence and flexibility from perimeter systems. The F5 and F6 Fence Controllers deliver future-ready capabilities, such as Smart Sync technology, which guarantees consistent pulse synchronization along the fence and adjusts energy levels automatically if synchronization signals drop. This feature ensures the fence remains a reliable deterrent under all conditions.
Furthermore, the controllers support both standalone and networked installations, dual‑zone configurations, and full integration with the Gallagher Command Centre, offering unparalleled scalability and adaptability for any size site.

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 synchronization 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 Synchronization
- 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 synchronization 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.”
