Datamars Unigizer 15000i Mode D'emploi page 3

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 2.5 m (8'). 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 (6") from the vertical plane of the non-electrified
wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at
regular intervals.
Follow our recommendations regarding earthing.
A distance of at least 10 m (33') shall be maintained
between the energizer earth electrode and any other
earthing system connected parts such as the power supply
system protective earth or the telecommunication system
earth.
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be
effectively insulated from the earthed structural parts of the
building. This may be achieved by using insulated high
voltage cable.
Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in
conduit of insulating material or else insulated high voltage
cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to
the connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or
vehicle 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.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal
fences
Power line voltage
≤1000 V
>1000 V to ≤33,000 V
>33,000 V
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are
installed near an overhead power line, their height above the
ground shall not exceed 3 m (10'). This height applies to
either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost
conductors of the power line on the ground surface, for a
distance of:
2 m (6'6") for power lines operating at a nominal
•
voltage not exceeding 1000 V.
15 m (50') for power lines operating at a nominal
•
voltage exceeding 1000 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 satisfactory
and safe performance.
In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from
roosting on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be
connected to the energizer earth electrode. A warning sign
shall be fitted to every point where persons may gain ready
access to the conductors.
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.
Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a
public road or pathway shall be identified at frequent
intervals by warning signs securely fastened to the fence
posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires.
The size of the warning sign shall be at least
•
100x200 mm (4x8").
The background colour of both sides of the warning sign
•
shall be yellow. The inscription on the sign shall be black
and shall be either:
Clearance
3 m (10')
4 m (13')
8 m (27')
