Important Information
Warning: Read all instructions

Do NOT touch 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.

Do NOT become entangled in the fence. Avoid electric fence constructions that are likely to lead to
the entanglement of animals or persons.

Electric animal fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to
persons, animals or their surroundings.

It is recommended that, in all areas where there is a likely presence of unsupervised children who will
be unaware of the dangers of electric fencing, that a suitably rated current limiting device having a
resistance of not less than 500 ohms be connected between the energizer and the electric fence in
this area.

In areas of public access, use an electric fence warning sign every 10 m (33 ft) to identify the electri-
fied wire(s).

Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall be incorporated
in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be provided. At any
such crossing, the adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not place combustible materials near the fence or energizer connections. In times of extreme fire
risk, disconnect energizer.

Regularly inspect the supply cord and Energizer for any damage. If found damaged in any way,
immediately cease use of the Energizer and return it to the store where it was purchased for repair in
order to avoid a hazard.

Check your local council for specific regulations.

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 2m. If this
gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by means of electrically nonconductive material or an iso-
lated 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.

The energizer earth electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1 m (3 ft) and not be
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 galvanised 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 con-
necting 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, communica-
tion cables or data cables.

Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communi-
cation 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:
