Important Informa on
• 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 (33 ) shall be be maintaned between the energizer earth electrode and
any other earthing system connected pasrts such as the power suplly system protec ve earth or
telecommunica ons system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated from the earther
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.
• 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 following.
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 3 m
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:-
-
2 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
-
15 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• 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
