1. Draw a plan of the farm approximately
to scale showing all electrified
wires. Include the connecting leads
from the energizer to the fence and
earth electrode, and wires crossing
gateways and roads even if they are
underground.
2. Find out the location of communication
cables and lines on or near the electric
fence and draw them on the plan.
3. Draw on the plan a shaded stripe
200m wide centred on each of the
communication cables or lines as
shown in
Figure 8.3
. Electric fence
wires within the shaded area are
the most likely to cause interference
due to their close proximity to the
communication cables or lines.
4. Highlight on the plan those fence wires
that run parallel to communication
cables or lines, and are within 100m of
them as shown in
Figure 8.3
. Those at
right angles to cables or lines will not
normally cause significant interference
and may be ignored.
