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

PERSONAL 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.
»
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.
»
Keep children away from the fence if possible. Children must be supervised
in the vicinity of the fence.
»
Getting entangled in electrified fence netting can lead to electric shock. Do
not erect electric fence nets in areas where children may be present.
»
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.
