• Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communication cables or
data cables.
• If connected to a mains power circuit that doesn't have a Residual Current Device (RCD), then a plug-in RCD
should always be used.
• Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communication lines.
• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be avoided it
shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the clearances
shall not be less than those shown in the table below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line voltage V
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
• If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height above
the ground shall not exceed 10ft.
• This height applies either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the power line on
the ground surface, for a distance of:
- 6ft for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000V;
- 50ft for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000V.
• Fence wiring should be installed well away from any telephone or telegraph line or radio aerial.
• 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 inscription on the sign shall be
black and shall be either:
- the substance of "CAUTION: Electric Animal Fence" or,
- the symbol shown:
• The inscription 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 isolation between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that
provided by the energizer.
• Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certifived
by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection
IPX4.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not connect the energizer simultaneously to a fence and to any other
device such as a cattle trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will be conducted to
all other devices.
This energizer complies with international safety regulations and is manufactured to international standards.

SERVICE OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated controller, two systems of insulation 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 qualified service personnel. Replacement parts of a double insulated controller must be identical to the parts they replace A
double insulated controller is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED". The symbol for double
insulation may also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fence controller has a polarized plug (one blade that is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
