Instructions
Can be run from a 6, 9 or 12v wet or dry battery (the output on the line will be
higher with a higher voltage battery).
For long lines or stubborn stock, a 12 volt battery is recommended. For short
lines or trained stock a 9 or 6 volt battery is sufficient.
LED line indicator: Pulsing blue light = good line, Red light = poor line
LED battery life indicator: Green light = good, Red light = less than 9v

Position your fencer at a convenient place on the line and push it into the
ground. In very dry conditions, pour water onto the soil around the post to
increase the efficiency of the earth. Additional earthing may be required.
Connect the HT Lead Clip on the end of blue wire to the fence line and then
connect the crocodile clips to the battery (B) - red is positive (+) and black is
negative (-). On connection, the unit will begin pulsing and the line will
become live.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK WHEN ON.
NEVER CONNECT THIS FENCER TO THE MAINS.

Safety Requirements and Regulations
Electric fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no electrical hazard to persons, animals or their surroundings. Electric
fence constructions which are likely to lead to entanglement of animals or persons shall be avoided.
An electric fence shall not be supplied from more than one energiser or from independent fence circuits of the same energiser.
The gap between two separate electric fences with different energisers shall be at least 2 metres. If this gap is to be closed, this should be
affected by means of an electrically non conductive material. Barbed or razor wire shall not be elctrified by an energiser.
Any part of an electric fence which is installed along a public path or highway shall be identified by warning signs (p/no 33020) securely
fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires at intervals recommended to be of approximately 10 to 50 metres, but not
exceeding 90 metres. The warning signs shall be at least 100 x 200mm. The background colour or both sides shall be yellow. The
inscription shall be black and shall be the substance of TAKE CARE - ELECTRIC FENCE. The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on
both sides and have a height of at least 25mm.
Except for low output battery operated energisers, the energiser earth electrode shall penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1m.
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be effectively insulated from the earth structural parts of the building. This may be
achieved by using double insulated high voltage cable (p/no 31640).
Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in a conduit of insulating material.
Care shall be taken to avoid damage to the connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the gound.
Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communication cables or data cables.
If connecting leads and electric fences are installed near an overhead power line the clearance shall be:
1. Power line voltage: Under 1,000 volts Clearance: 3 metres
2. Power line voltage: 1000 to 33,000 volts Clearance: 4 metres
3. Power line voltage: Over 33,000 volts Clearance: 8 metres
If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height above ground shall not exceed 2 metres.
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 2m for power lines not exceeding 1,000v and 15m for power lines exceeding 1,000v.
A distance of 10m shall be maintained between the energiser and any other earth system such as the household supply system protective
earth or the telecom earth system.
A warning sign as described earlier 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 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 as described earlier.
