ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
•
above the ground shall not exceed 3 m
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projec
ti
on of the outermost conductors of the power line
on the ground surface, for a distance of:-
2 m for power lines opera
ti
ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
-
15 m for power lines opera

Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as
•
cows need only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain sa
ti
sfactory and safe performance.
In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roos
ti
ng on buildings, no electric fence wire
•
shall be connected to the energizer earth electrode. A warning sign shall be
fi
tt
ed to every point where
persons may gain ready access to the conductors.
Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
•
Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electri
fi
ed gate shall be incorporated
•
in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of s
ti
les shall be provided. At any such
crossing, the adjacent electri
fi
ed wires shall carry warning signs.
Any
•
part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be iden
ti
fi
ed by
electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely fastened to the fence posts or
fi
rmly clamped to the fence wires.
The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
•
The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow. The inscrip

be black and shall be either:
the substance of “CAUTION: Electric Animal Fence” or,

the symbol shown:
-
The inscrip
ti
on shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign and have a height of at least
•
25mm.
Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides
•
a degree of isola

on between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the
energizer.
Protec

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insula
ti
on are provided instead of grounding. No equipment
grounding means is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated controller, nor should a means for
equipment grounding be added to the controller. Servicing a double-insulated controller requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by quali
fi
ed service personnel. Replacement parts of a
double insulated controller must be iden
ti
cal to the parts they replace. A double insulated controller is marked
with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol for double insula
ti
on
may also
be marked on the appliance.
