»
Ensure that underground connection lines are routed through electrical
conduits made from insulating material or otherwise use insulated high‑
voltage cables.
»
Ensure that connection lines are not damaged by sinking animal hooves or
tractor wheels.
»
When installing the electric animal fence, do not use the electric conduit from
any external sources, third parties i.e. telecommunication companies or the
main power conduit entering the building.
»
The electric animal fence must be no less than 2.5 m away from earthed, metallic
objects (e.g. drinking troughs, water pipes). This is particularly important in
areas where people may be present.
»
Do not cross connection lines and electric animal fence wires over high‑voltage
or communication lines.
»
Avoid crossings with high‑voltage lines. If this cannot be avoided, the crossing
must be made below the power line at a 90° angle and as close as possible.
»
For 230V electric fence energisers, do not use inverters to supply the device.
Malfunctions, damage or destruction of the device may result. Use only properly
installed sockets for the power supply.
»
Do not power an electric animal fence with two separate electric fence
energisers or from the independent fence circuits of the same energiser.
»
Barbed wire or razor wire must not be electrified with an energiser.
»
Non-electrified barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
offset electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The electrified wires must
be kept at a vertical distance of at least 150 mm from the non-electrified wires
by means of supports. Make sure that the non-electrified wire is earthed at
regular intervals.
»
There must be a minimum distance of 2.5 m between two separate electric
animal fences, which are powered by separate independently clocked electric
fence energisers. If there should be a physical barrier between the fences then
only use electrically non‑conductive materials or an insulated metal barrier.
»
Ensure that all mains‑operated auxiliary equipment connected to the electric
animal fence has the same degree of insulation as the energiser used.
»
Ensure that the auxiliary equipment is weatherproof. Outdoor use is only
permitted if it has been certified by the manufacturer and the equipment has
a minimum degree of protection of IPX4.

SAFETY DURING OPERATION

WA R NIN G AGA IN ST ELE CTRICAL VOLTAGES
»
Check your fence system for correct voltage, grounding, marking and other
defects on a daily basis. Document the measured fence voltages, if necessary.
Do not use multimeters to check the voltage. These are not suitable for the high
voltages generated by the electric fence energiser. Use specialist voltmeters
to check the voltage.
»
Lightning can cause fires and lead to malfunctions on electric fences.
Separating the energiser from the fence and power source before a storm or
possible lightning strike can minimise the effects of lightning. Redirect the
current of the lightning strike to the ground before it damages the energiser
by installing a lightning rod between the fence and the energiser.
»
Avoid placing combustible objects near your electric fence. Cutting back
shrubs in the vicinity also reduces the risk of fire, as short circuits in the
fence system can cause sparks.
