torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence.Use a gate
or a specially designed crossing point.
This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the unit
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to lead to the entanglement of
animals or persons shall be avoided.
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate units or from
independent fence circuits of the same unit.
For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate unit
independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal
fences shall be at least 8'(2.5 m). 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 a unit.
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 energiser manufacturer’s recommendations regarding earthing.
A distance of at least 10 m (33ft) shall be maintained between the energiser earth
electrode and any other with the 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
tractor 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
