Gallagher Security releases new fence controllers

April 2026 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection, News & Events

Gallagher Security has announced the release of its new F5 and F6 Fence Controllers, marking the latest generation of enhanced-safety, monitored-pulse fence technology. The F5 and F6 Fe introduce advanced safety features designed to meet the demands of modern security environments.

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 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, says, “Gallagher’s perimeter solutions are designed to deter, detect, and delay intruders, providing robust, flexible protection tailored to each site’s unique requirements.”

“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 with the newly introduced ‘safe limits’ for operation of energised fences.”

The F6 series introduces enhanced features, including:

● Smart synchronisation.

● Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) readiness to detect movement in sensitive areas without deterrence.

● Dual Pulse Peak Measurement (DPPM) provides enhanced alarm functionality for high-specification fences using a dual-pulse configuration.

Solly 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 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 Solly.

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 deterrent under all conditions.

“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.”
