Mounting Instructions
Requirements for electric animal fences
4.
In accordance with Annex BB, Section BB.1 of IEC 60335-2-76
Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or their surroundings.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or
persons shall be avoided.
Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck
or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric
fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energisers or from
independent fence circuits of the same energiser.
For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energiser
independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be
at least 2.5 m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by means of electrically non-
conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energiser.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or
more off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for the
electrified wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positioned at a
minimum distance of 150 mm from the vertical plane of the nonelectrified wires. The barbed
wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
Follow our recommendations regarding earthing.
A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energiser earth electrode and
any other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protective earth or
the telecommunication system earth.
