• Do not mount in places exposed to heat sources (e.g. a sun heated metal wall.)
• Do not connect two Energizers to the same earth system.
• If connected to a mains power circuit that doesn't have a Residual Current Device (RCD), then a plug-
in RCD should always be used.
• Electric animal fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to
persons, animals or their surroundings.
• Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence constructions that are likely to lead to
the entanglement of animals or persons.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE:
contacting the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso.
Do not climb over, through or under a multi-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
timed, 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 effected by means of electrically non-conductive material or an
isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
• A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for the electrified wires
shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positioned at a minimum distance of 150
mm from the vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be
earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommendations regarding earthing.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ft) of any power,
telecommunications or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to effectively insulate from the earthed structural parts of
the building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical
cable.
• Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulating material or else
insulated high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the
connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring,
communication cables or data cables.
• Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communication lines.
• 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 connecting 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.
