children who will be unaware of the dangers of electric fencing, that a suitably rated
current limiting device having a resistance of 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:
Power Line Voltage

If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an over head power line
their height above the ground should not exceed 3m.
