not less than 500 ohms be connected between the energizer and the
electric fence in this area.
⚫
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.
⚫
Do not place combustible materials near the fence or energizer
connections. In times of extreme fire risk, disconnect energizer.
⚫
Don't dismantle. Don't make any changes to this energizer. Don't touch
high voltage parts which can cause electric shock. This energizer is not
user-servicable.
⚫
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
⚫
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate
energizers or from independent fence circuits of the same energizer. That
is very dangerous.
⚫
For any two separate electric fences, each supplied from a separate
energizer independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two
electric animal fences shall be at least 2.5m.
⚫
Barbed wire or razor wire must not be electrified by an energizer.
⚫
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.
⚫
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. At any such crossing the adjacent electrified wires must
carry warning signs.
⚫
In areas of public access, use an electric fence warning sign every 10m
(33ft) to identify the electrified wire(s).
⚫
Crossing with overhead power lines should be avoided wherever possible.
If such a crossing cannot be avoided, it should be made underneath the
power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to the power line.
⚫
If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an over head
power line, the clearances should be not less than those shown below:

If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an over head
power line their height above the ground should not exceed 3m.
