Definition of special terms 

Unit/Charger/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 which includes one or more electric conductors, 

insulated from ground, to which electric pulses are applied by a unit. 

Ground electrode 

– Metal structure that is driven into the soil near a unit and 

connected electrically to the Fence ground terminal of the unit, and that is 
independent of other grounding arrangements. 

Connecting lead 

– An electric conductor, used to connect the unit to the electric 

fence or the ground electrode. 

Requirements for electric animal fences 

Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated 
and maintained in a manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or their 
surroundings. 

Warning! 

Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck 

or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a 
gate or a specially designed crossing point. 

This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced 
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, 
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the unit 
by a person responsible for their safety. 
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit. 
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 units or from 
independent fence circuits of the same unit.
