or the substance of "CAUTION: Electric fence".
The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides
•
of the warning sign and have a height of at least 25 mm
(1").
Ensure that all mains-operated, ancillary equipment
connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides a
degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the supply
mains equivalent to that provided by the energizer.
Protection from the weather shall be provided for the
ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a

Electric fencing and
your energizer
Congratulations on the purchase of your energizer. This
product has been constructed using the latest technology
and construction techniques. It has been engineered to give
superior performance and many years of service.
It is important to read these instructions carefully and
thoroughly. They contain important safety information and
will assist you in ensuring that your electric fencing system
gives maximum performance and reliability.
How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energizer and an
insulated fence. The energizer puts very short pulses of
electricity onto the fence line. These pulses have a high
voltage, but are of very short duration (less than 3/10,000ths
of a second). However, a shock from an electric fence pulse
is very uncomfortable and animals quickly learn to respect
electric fences. An electric fence is not only a physical
barrier, but is also a strong psychological barrier.

What are the benefits of an
electric fence?
An electric fence has many benefits over conventional
fencing:
Requires less labour and materials to construct.
•
Flexibility to change or add paddocks when required.
•
The use of strip grazing techniques can allow temporary
fencing to be quickly and easily erected or removed.
Controls a broader range of animals.
•
Minimises damage to expensive livestock when
•
compared with other fencing mechanisms, for example
barbed wire.

Additional performance features
Additional performance features required by European Safety
Standards are also included:
Time delay - If a person touches the fence, this unit is
designed to provide a 20 second delay before the full energy
of the energizer is delivered. This allows time for the person
to move away from the fence.
Alarm - If a heavy load is suddenly applied to a lightly loaded
fence, an alarm will sound on the energizer. The alarm will
remain on until either the load is removed or 10 minutes
elapses. If the alarm sounds, check the electric fence and
remove anything entangled in the wires.
