Gallagher B60 Notice D'utilisation page 6

• Check your local council for specifi c regula ons.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Well maintained electric fences kept clear of vegeta on with high quality insula on are extremely
unlikely to cause fi res. In mes of extreme fi re risk, disconnect energizer.
• 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 construc ons that are likely to lead to
the entanglement of animals or persons.
• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE:
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.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ) of any power,
telecommunica ons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eff ec vely insulate from the earthed structural
parts of the building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household
electrical 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.
• Connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communica on 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 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.
