1. Introduction

This manual refers to the following energisers of the VOSS GmbH & Co. KG:
VOSS.farming SUNNY 200
2,5 watts | 0,16 joules
VOSS.farming SUNNY 800
5 watts | 0,65 joules

2. Important Safety Introduction

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully.
• Do not touch the fence when it is connected to the energiser.
• The fence must not lie in water or get in touch with larger water surfaces.
• Ensure that the energiser of the fence is earthed.
• To ensure that the fence material does not touch grass, bushes or other vege-
tation it is necessary to regularly cut away any vegetation in the close proximi-
ty of the fence. (Do not cut the fence material when you cut the grass.)
• The batteries of battery operated energisers must be checked regularly. Plea-
se replace flat batteries immediately. Remove the battery when the energiser
is not in use to avoid leakage.
• Do not crawl underneath the fence, do not climb over the fence or through the
individual rows. Use a gate or a specially designed, wooden step construction
for safe passing.
• Take care not to get entangled in the fence. Electric fence constructions,
which are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or persons, must be
avoided.
• Electric fences shall be installed and operated so that they cause no hazard
to persons, animals or their surroundings.
• Children do not recognize the dangers associated with energisers and electric
fences. In all places where children are likely to be left unattended, it is there-
fore recommended to install a suitable current limiter with a resistance of not
less than 500 ohms between the energiser and the electric fence.
• The device is not suitable for the use of small children or frail people.
• Do not place flammable materials near the fence or the energiser. In case of a
fire hazard, the energiser must be disconnected from the fence. You must not
disassemble and repair or change the energiser yourself in any way. Do not
touch any high voltage parts, doing so can lead to an electric shock.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the energiser.

• An electric fence shall not be supplied from two (or more) different energizers
or from independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
• For any two (or more) different electric fences, each supplied from a different
energizer independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two
electric 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.
• An energizer shall not electrify barbed wire or razor wire.
• 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 fence. The suppor-
ting 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 non-electrified wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be
earthed at regular intervals.
• Where an electric fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall
be incorporated in the electric fence at that point or a crossing by means of
a stile shall be provided. At any such crossing, the adjacent electrified wires
shall carry warning plates as described above.
• Any part of an electric fence which is installed along a public road or public
thoroughfare shall be identified at frequent intervals (at least every hundred
metres) by warning signs securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly
clamped to the fence wires.
• 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 near as possible at right angles to it.
• If connecting leads and electric fence wires are installed near an overhead
power line, their height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m.
• 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
– 2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
– 15 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
