Safety Considerations - Tru-Test AN90 Manual Del Usuario

Hazards
 Do not climb through or under an electric fence. If it is necessary to cross an electric fence use a
gate or specially designed crossing point.
 Do not allow young or infirm persons to use this energizer without supervision. Do not allow
young children to play with this energizer or near an electric fence or electrified wires.
 Do not electrify barbed wire.
 Do not support off-set electrified wires less than 150 mm (6") from a barbed wire fence.
 Do not electrify any fence construction which could lead to entanglement of persons or animals.
We recommend for instance, that no more than one electrified off-set wire be supported on
either side of a barbed wire or mesh fence.
 Do not supply an electric fence from two energizers.
 Do not allow electrified wires from two energizers on the same or adjacent properties to be less
than 2 m (6'6") apart.
 Do not place energizer earth electrodes within 10 m (33') of any part of a power supply earth
system or telecommunications earth system.
 Do not run electric fence wires above or close to overhead power or communication lines.
Duty to the public
Fasten warning signs to electric fence posts or wires at frequent intervals along any public roads or
pathways. Incorporate a non-electrified gate or stile where an electric animal fence crosses a public
pathway and fasten warning signs to fence posts or wires adjacent to the crossing.

Fence circuit
– All conductive parts or components within an energizer that are connected or are
intended to be connected, galvanically, to the output terminals.
Earth electrode
– Metal structure that is driven into the ground near an energizer and connected
