Important Informati on
• If connecti ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
above the ground shall not exceed 3 m
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projecti on of the outermost conductors of the power line
on the ground surface, for a distance of:-
-
2 m for power lines operati ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
-
15 m for power lines operati ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as
cows need only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain sati sfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosti ng on buildings, no electric fence wire
shall be connected to the energizer earth electrode. A warning sign shall be fi tt ed to every point where
persons may gain ready access to the conductors.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrifi ed gate shall be incorporated
in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of sti les shall be provided. At any such
crossing, the adjacent electrifi ed wires shall carry warning signs.
• Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be identi fi ed by
electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely fastened to the fence posts or
fi rmly clamped to the fence wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
• The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow. The inscripti on on the sign shall
be black and shall be either:
-
the substance of "CAUTION: Electric Animal Fence" or,
-
the symbol shown:
• The inscripti on shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign and have a height of at least
25mm.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides
a degree of isolati on between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the
energizer.
• Protecti on from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is
certi fi ed by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree
of protecti on IPX4.
This energizer complies with internati onal safety regulati ons and is manufactured to internati onal standards.

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insulati on are provided instead of grounding. No equipment
grounding means is provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated controller, nor should a means for
equipment grounding be added to the controller. Servicing a double-insulated controller requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualifi ed service personnel. Replacement parts of a
double insulated controller must be identi cal to the parts they replace. A double insulated controller is marked
with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED". The symbol for double insulati on
be marked on the appliance.
