• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence construc ons that
are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE: Avoid
contac ng the fence with the head, mouth, neck or
torso.
Do not climb over, through or under a mul -wire
electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed
crossing point.
• An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or
from independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
• For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate
energizer independently med, the distance between the wires of the two
electric animal fences shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall
be eff ected by means of electrically non-conduc ve material or an isolated
metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrifi ed by an energizer.
• A non-electrifi ed fence incorpora ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to
support one or more off -set electrifi ed wires of an electric animal fence. The
suppor ng devices for the electrifi ed wires shall be constructed so as to ensure
that these wires are posi oned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the
ver cal plane of the non-electrifi ed wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall
be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommenda ons regarding earthing.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth
electrode and any other earthing system connected parts such as the power
supply system protec ve earth or the telecommunica on system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated
from the earthed structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using
insulated high voltage cable.
• Connec ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insula ng
material or else insulated high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must
be taken to avoid damage to the connec ng leads due to the eff ects of animal
hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connec ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply
wiring, communica on cables or data cables.
