Incorrectly installed electric fences with stronger current can cause electric shocks that
lead to loss of muscle control. An electric shock can cause painful muscle spasms that
can break bones and dislocate joints.
Info
Please note that the following specifications regarding the marking of electric animal
fences are country-specific. Please follow the regulations of your respective country.
►
In order to warn outsiders of possible dangers, electric animal fences that run along a
public road or path must be clearly signed at frequent intervals. These warning signs
must be clearly visible and attached to the fence posts or the fence itself. Warning signs
must adhere to the following guidelines:
•
Minimum size of 100 mm x 200 mm
•
Black lettering (min. font size of 25 mm, on both sides, non-erasable) on a yellow
background with the analogous content „ATTENTION ELECTRIC FENCE“ and/or
the symbol shown in the illustration:
WARNING
ELEKTROZAUN
ELECTRIC FENCE
CLÔTURE ÉLECTRIQUE
SCHRIKDRAAD
ELEKTRISK HEGN
ELEKTRISKT STÄNGSEL
RECINTO ELETTRICO
CERCADO ELECTRICO
ЭЛЕКТРОИЗГОРОДЬ
►
Whenever an electric animal fence crosses a public footpath, a non-electrified gate
must be erected at this point or an overpass must be available. Electrified wires lying
nearby must also be marked with warning signs.
►
In general, warning signs must be placed at each gate or access point and at intervals
of max. 10 m.
2.2 Site and Installation Safety
►
The following minimum distances must be observed when installing connection lines
and electric animal fences near high-voltage lines:
Voltage of the power line
Air Gap
≤ 1.000 volts
3 metres
> 1.000 ≤ 33.000 volts
4 metres
> 33.000 volts
8 metres
►
When installing connection lines and electric animal fences near a high-voltage line,
they may only be installed at a maximum height of 3 m above the ground. This height
must be maintained on each side of the vertical projection of the outer conductor of
the high-voltage line on the ground. The following distances apply:
•
2 m for high-voltage lines with a nominal voltage up to 1,000 V
•
15 m for high-voltage lines, with a rated voltage of more than 1,000 V
►
Follow the grounding instructions in the manual.
