prescribed by the manufacturer may
be used. Subject to technical altera-
tions!
Electric Fences shall be installed and operated so that they
cause no electrical hazard to persons, animals or their sur-
roundings.Safe application is provided if the following hints
are respected:
Not as much Joules as possible but as much as necessary.
Short fences up to 10 km without weedload can be operated
with 0,2 to 0,5 Joule pulse energy, medium fences (approx
20 km) also with light weedload with max 2 or 3 Joules.
Only intelligent energizers can be operated with more than
5 Joule pulse energy at 50 to 500 Ohm load resistance –
these energizers are operating normally on a low energy
level – serving as no danger deterrence – and switch in
case of contact after 55 seconds on a higher energy level
for effective deterrence - horismart safety equipment with
max 15 Joules.
In cases where unsupervised children can be available (es-
pecially in and around residential areas) also at electrical
animal fences with alternating polarity – where the fence
wires are alternating connected with the fence and earth
terminal - the lower output terminal – if available -should be
used or low energy energizers or low output terminals of the
energizers (1 joule).
WARNING: Do not touch the fence with the head, mouth,
neck or torso.
• Avoid any electric animal fence with alternating pola-
rity where persons can get between fence wires with
different polarity. If at all use energizers with lower
energy e.g with 1 Joule limitation - also with a non-
electrified earthed wire!
• Enable persons to pass through public pathways by me-
ans of insulated gates, gatehandles and insulated styles.
Do not climb over, through or under a multi·wire electric
fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
At any crossing at any crossway and along public pa-
thways all electrified wires must be identified by warning
signs in a distance of at least 100 m.
• Keep a distance of at least 2,5 m with the electric fence to
all metallic parts i.e. to waterpipes and troughs especially
if persons can be in the vicinity.
• If there is a danger of overflooding the energizer must be
turned off.
Pay attention to Annex BB1 and parts 2-8 with further hints
for the mounting and installation of electric fence.
The energizer has a pulse interval of 1 to 2.0 seconds. If the
interval is less than 1 second the energizer is to be repaired,
if the interval is more than 2.0 seconds the fence is not lon-
ger safe in function and must be repaired, too.
This device fulfils the requirements contained in
EU Directive 2014/30/EU "Electromagnetic compatibility",
2011/65/EU (RoHS) + 2012/19/EU (WEEE) and with the
European Safety Standard EN 60335-2-76 (Electric fence
energizer) the EC-directive 2001/95/EC (General product
safety).
Help to avoid any misuse of the energizer by:
• Observing the printing
16 / EN
• Secure the energizer against unallowed access (e.g. an-
titheft or antichildren equipment) if the location make this
necessary
Use for special applications of electric animal fences spe-
cial energizers and installations and observe Annex BB1
where the following applications with low pulse energies
are effective and safe:
• for cow trainer used inside stables max pulse energy
0,1 Joule - use only approved energizers.In Switzerland
(Bundesamt für Veterinärwesen) special requirements for
cowtrainer apply.
• for antipigeon installations on/at buildings max pulse ener-
gy 1 Joule and max. 7500 V.
• for cats and dogs max pulse energy 1 Joule
• for racoons and martens max pulse energy 2 Joule
Special applications of electric fences in zoos and deer
fences: The mounting of such installations may only be car-
ried out by trained specialists, a mechanical barrier must be
provided which separates the electric fence from visitors.
Service: If the connecting cable of this device is damaged,
the manufacturer, his after-sales service or a similarly qua-
lified person must replace it in order to avoid hazard. Servi-
ces and repairs only by authorized experts! Only by the ma-
nufacturer commanded replacement parts must be used.
For Electric Security Fences special hints are valid for the
mounting and installation – ask for Annex BB2 and CC of
EN 60335-2-76 with SECURA SECURITY. In this case a
mechanical barrier must be available in front of the electric
fence in order to prevent people to contact the fence.
PART 2: PRINCIPLES AND
LIMITATIONS OF ELECTRIC
FENCING FOR ANIMALS
An electric fence consists of an energizer and a connec-
ted fence where the energizer feeds electric impulses into
the fence. The electric animal fence represents a "psycho-
logical barrier" for the animals; it keeps animals inside or
outside a certain area ,it can also be used to train a cer-
tain behaviour (e.g. cow trainer in the stable). The electric
security fence is used for security purposes that comprise
an electric fence and a physical barrier electrically isolated
from the electric fence.
No electric or mechanical fence can guarantee a 100% ef-
fective solution in protecting or containing your animals. The
effectiveness of an electric fence may vary upon the unique
local conditions within which the fence is installed. A suitab-
le combination of products together with competent installa-
tion will ensure the best results. On occasion a determined
animal may overcome the most rigid of mechanical fences
or the most comprehensive electric fence system. For this
reason the seller gives no assurance that the fence sys-
tem is 100% safe against outbreak. A well installed electric
fence can offer a high level of security when compared to
a mechanical fence, as the psychological barrier an electric
shock can represent will deter the animal from finding a way
to circumnavigate the fence. Electric fences will also offer
far greater level of flexibility.
