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.
