GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Observe and follow the safety instructions in this chapter and the following
subchapters to prevent any safety hazard when using this device. In addition,
please observe the respective regulations of your country and/or region.
2.1

SPERSONAL SAFETY

Electric fences, especially those for the protection of farm animals, are generally safe
if installed and connected properly. However, electric fences can cause shocks that
can lead to dangerous consequences, especially for people with pre‑existing health
conditions. Knowledge of the dangers posed by electric fences can help you take the
necessary precautions.
► If you have any doubts about the installation of the electric animal fence, we
recommend that you seek help from qualified personnel.
► Persons (including children) with physical, sensory or mental disabilities must
not use this device.
► Persons who do not have sufficient experience and knowledge are not
allowed to use this device unless they are under supervision or are instructed
to use the device by a person responsible for their safety.
► Children must be supervised in the vicinity of the device.
► Ensure that the electric animal fence, as well as its ancillary equipment, is
correctly installed, operated and maintained at regular intervals to minimise
the dangers to people, animals and their surroundings.
► In places where children could be left unattended use electric animal fences
with alternating polarity (positive‑negative fences) with weaker energisers or
weaker outputs with an output energy not exceeding 1 joule.
► Avoid constructions of electric animal fences that can lead to people becoming
entangled.
► In most cases, contact with electric fences triggers a harmless shock, which
initially occurs on first contact. Properly installed fences generate shocks
in pulses that allow the person or animal to release the fence immediately
upon the first shock; however, fences that do not have a pulse can send a
continuous electric shock to the body over a long period of time, which can
have fatal consequences. In some cases, trapped victims become unconscious
when they come into contact with the electric fence. A fatal outcome cannot
be completely ruled out in electric accidents.
► Avoid touching electric animal fences, especially with the head, neck or upper
body. Do not climb over, through or under the fence. Use a gate or other
crossing point to pass through the fence.
► Attempting to get under an electric fence can cause a shock to the head when
coming into contact with the fence. A person with a heart condition, especially
someone who wears a pacemaker, has a higher risk of losing consciousness
than a healthy person. The risk increases if the head or neck touches the
electrified wire.
► There is a small chance that a person who comes into contact with an
electric fence will suffer cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation. However,
the synchronisation of the electric fence energiser and the pulse can prevent
cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation.
