overhead power line, their height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m
(10'). This height applies to either side of the orthogonal projection of the
outermost conductors of the power line on the ground surface, for a
distance of:
2 m (6'6") for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not
exceeding 1000 V.
15 m (50') for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding
1000 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 satisfactory and safe performance.
In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on
buildings, no electric fence wire shall be connected to the energizer earth
electrode. A warning sign shall be fitted to every point where persons may
gain ready access to the conductors.
Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified
gate shall be incorporated in the electric animal fence at that point or a
crossing by means of stiles shall be provided. At any such crossing, the
adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs.
Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or
pathway shall be identified at frequent intervals by warning signs securely
fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires.
The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100x200 mm (4x8").
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:
or the substance of "CAUTION: Electric fence".
The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the
warning sign and have a height of at least 25 mm (1").
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 certified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection IPX4.

Frequently asked
questions/Troubleshooting
What voltage is required to control animals?
4 kV is widely accepted as an adequate voltage to control animals.
However, you also require a well constructed fence system to ensure that
animals cannot push through electrified wires.
The fence voltage is below 4 kV. How do I increase the voltage?
Check the energizer.
Ensure that the energizer is on and set to operate at
full power. Disconnect the fence wire from the energizer's fence output
terminal. Measure the voltage across the energizer terminals using a Fault
Finder, Digital Voltmeter or a remote control handset. If the voltage is less
than 6 kV, the energizer may require servicing.
Check the energizer earthing.
Check that the earth monitor voltage on the
LCD display is below 0.8 kV, see

Check the fence system for faults.
is faults on the fence line.
If the fence, earth and energizer are in good condition and the voltage is
still below 4 kV, talk to your nearest reseller. Recent extensions to your
fence, a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may be causing inadequate
voltage.
How do I locate faults?
The recommended tool for locating faults is a Fault Finder or remote
control handset. These have a combined voltage and current meter which
allows you to rapidly locate sources of current leakage. Alternatively, use a
Digital Voltmeter. Use cut-out switches to turn off the power to different
sections of the farm. If the voltage on the fence increases when a section
of the farm is turned off, then investigate that section for possible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the energizer
Ensure the power supply is on. Check the fence system for faults (see
above). Check the energizer (see above). If the energizer still does not
operate, it may require servicing.
The energizer does not respond to commands from the remote control
handset
See the Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting section in the remote
control handset's user manual.
I want to disable the energizer's remote control feature
If you have a remote control handset, see the remote control handset's
user manual for instructions. If not, take the energizer to an authorised
service centre to have the feature disabled.
