cillary equipment unless this equipment is certified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a

PART 3: ELECTRIC SECURITY
FENCES
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.
PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE AND
LIGHTNING
Mounting inside buildings. In case of indoor mounting the
fence controller shall not be installed at places where there
is a risk of fire, eg. barns or stables. Indoor installed connec-
ting leads having a voltage of more than 1000 V require a
special insulation which is effective with respect to structural
parts connected to earth. This insulation can be achieved
by adequate air gaps or with high voltage cable. The con-
trollers shall be so installed that they are out of reach of
children and not subject to mechanical damage.
Keep off combustible materials
Combustible materials shall be kept away from the fence
wires and the connecting leads. This applies especially for
special applications (cow trainer) or the like
Lightning protection for electric fencers to
prevent fire in/at buildings
to the earthing system of the lightning arrestor. Electric fen-
ces not being operated shall be connected to earth, switch
in position b.
The base (lower) distance between the two horns of the
~ 1,5 m
~ 1,5 m
spark gap (air gap) of the lightning arrestor should be about
≥ 10 m
10 mm.
230 V AC
The earthing must be carried out at a damp place with an
earthing rod of ~1,5 m depth.
PART 4: INSTALLATION OF
18 / EN
To prevent damages by
lightnings the connection
lead to the building, prior
to entering the building,
must have a grounded
lightning gap. The light-
ning suppression device
must be installed by a
competent person. Ac-
cording to experience
mains controllers are
more subject to lightning
damage than battery
controllers, so it is re-
commended to use a
lightning arrestor kit.
The installation is to be
carried out according
mounting instructions.
The system earth of the
electric fence shall be
galvanically connected
MAINS CONTROLLERS,
HANDLING OF
ACCUMULATORS
In case of outdoor installation of the controller this shall be
done by a competent person in accordance with the rele-
vant wiring rules. Indoor installation can be carried out by
a plug in connection. In USA and Canada observe the rele-
vant marking on the controller concerning indoor / outdoor
installation.
This symbol identifies battery-operated devices
which may not be connected to the mains power
supply.
Battery-operated devices which may be con-
nected to the mains power supply are labelled using
the symbol and the item no. on the mains
adapter to be used. When operating using the pow-
er adapter, non-rechargeable batteries must be in-
serted unless shared operation is explicitly allowed.
For 230V operation the energizer should be and the adapter
must be installed in a room protected from moisture.
CAUTION! Only use rechar-
geable 12 V batteries; only
charge rechargeable batte-
ries with ventilation in well-ventila-
ted rooms. Disconnect the recharge-
able battery from the energizer
during the charging process. The
rechargeable battery should be
recharged before and after every
use as well as during longer periods
of storage (every 2 months) and
disconnected from the energizer.
Caution! When using a solar
system Only carry out a
battery or rechargeable
battery test at start of the day ( no
solar power supplied - cover panel )
PART 5: SYSTEM EARTH FOR
MAINS / AKKUMULATOR AND
DRY BATTERY OPERATED
FENCE CONTROLLERS
For a faultless operation and to obtain best possible out-
put a good grounding is very important. There fore the
grounding must be made at a rather moisty and overgrown
place. see page 3 / fig. 2a, 2b, 2c.
System earth for dry battery energizers
Use the earth rod supplied by the manufacturer, this helps
to make the energizer mobile. Also with battery energi-
zers a deep earth rod increases the efficency of the fence
