• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be avoided it shall
be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the clearances shall not
be less than those shown in the table below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height above the
ground shall not exceed 3m.
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projec on of the outermost conductors of the power line on the
ground surface, for a distance of:
¯ 2m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000V;
¯ 15m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as cows need
only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain sa sfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roos ng on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be
connected to the energizer earth electrode. A warning sign (G6020) shall be fi ed to every point where persons may
gain ready access to the conductors.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrifi ed gate shall be incorporated in the electric
animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of s les shall be provided. At any such crossing, the adjacent
electrifi ed wires shall carry warning signs (G6020).
• Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be iden fi ed by electric fence
warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely fastened to the fence posts or fi rmly clamped to the fence
wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
• The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow.
• The inscrip on on the sign shall be black and shall be either:
¯ the substance of "CAUTION: Electric Fence" or,
¯ the symbol shown:
• The inscrip on shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign and have a height of at least 25mm.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides a degree of
isola on between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the energizer.
• Protec on from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is cer fi ed by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degreee of protec on IPX4.
:
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock. Do not connect the energizer simultaneously to a fence and to any other device
such as a ca le trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will be conducted to all other
devices.
This energizer complies with interna onal safety regula ons and is manufactured to interna onal standards.
