Fasten warning signs to electric fence posts or
wires at frequent intervals along any public
roads or pathways. Incorporate a non-
electrified gate or stile where an electric
animal fence crosses a public pathway and
fasten warning signs to fence posts or wires
adjacent to the crossing.

local Patriot dealer. Refer to

Warning!
-
Risk of electric shock.
-
Do not connect simultaneously to a fence
and to any other device such as a cattle
trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise,
lightning striking your fence will be
conducted to all other devices.
-
Do not place or store power adaptor
where it can be exposed to any potential
wet location. Do not place in or drop into
water or other liquid. If the power
adaptor falls into water, do not attempt to
reuse it. Electric shock may result.

Electric fence energizer/Energizer
– An
appliance that is intended to periodically
deliver voltage impulses to a fence connected
to it.
Fence –
A barrier for animals or for the
purpose of security, comprising one or more
conductors such as metal wires, rods or rails.
Electric fence
– A barrier that includes one or
more electric conductors, insulated from earth
to which electric pulses are applied by an
electric fence energizer.
Earth electrode
– Metal structure that is driven
into the ground near an electric fence
energizer and connected electrically to the
output Fence earth terminal of the electric
fence energizer, and that is independent of
other earthing arrangements.
Connecting lead
– An electric conductor, used
to connect the electric fence energizer to the
electric fence or the earth electrode.

Electric animal fences and their ancillary
equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimizes
danger to persons, animals or their
surroundings.
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 energizers or from
independent fence circuits of the same
energizer.
For any two separate electric animal 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 m (6’6”). 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 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 (6”) from the
vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The
barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at
regular intervals.
Go to
www.patriotglobal.com
for information
regarding earthing.
A distance of at least 10 m (33’) shall be
maintained between the energizer’s earth
electrode and any other 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.
