• WARNING - INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE: Avoid
contac ng the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso.
Do not climb over, through or under a mul -wire electric
fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from
independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
• For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energizer
independently med, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal
fences shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be eff ected by
means of electrically non-conduc ve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrifi ed by an energizer.
• A non-electrifi ed fence incorpora ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to
support one or more off -set electrifi ed wires of an electric animal fence. The
suppor ng devices for the electrifi ed wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that
these wires are posi oned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the ver cal plane
of the non-electrifi ed wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at
regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommenda ons regarding earthing.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth
electrode and any other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply
system protec ve earth or the telecommunica on system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated from the
earthed structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high
voltage cable.
• Connec ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insula ng
material or else insulated high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be
taken to avoid damage to the connec ng leads due to the eff ects of animal hooves
or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connec ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply
wiring, communica on cables or data cables.
• Connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead
power or communica on 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 connec ng 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 following.
