Gallagher 3E4410 M350 M550 M650 Energizer User Manual
• 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.
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors
of the power line on the ground surface, for a distance of:-
• 2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
• 15 m for power lines operating 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 satisfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on buildings, no
electric fence wire shall be connected to an earth stake. 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 by electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are
securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
• 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:
• the substance of "CAUTION: Electric Fence" or,
• the symbol shown:
• The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the
warning sign and have a height of at least 25mm.
• 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 type with a minimum degree of protection IPX4.
