Grounding; The Ideal Fence - Voss.pet fenci M03 Bedienungsanleitung

7. GROUNDING

It is extremely important that the fence is properly grounded! This is essential for
the proper functioning of your energiser and to ensure maximum performance. The
grounding should be installed in a damp area with vegetation. Use galvanised metal
posts for the grounding posts. They must have a minimum length of 50 cm (e.g. item no.
44214 or 44219). Dry soil and long fences require additional grounding posts at intervals
of about 2–3 m to improve the connection with the ground. We recommend using the
cable with item no. 33615 for connecting the grounding posts. With optimal grounding,
the VOSS.PET fenci can operate at its maximum capacity and ensure your fence provides
the best possible security.
TIP: Where soil conditions are poor with low conductivity, we recommend using an
additional 2 or 3 grounding posts spaced about 2–3 m apart. If the soil is very dry
or stony, this will reduce its conductivity.
NOTE: Please choose a suitable location for your grounding system. Your grounding
system must be:
• at least 10 m away from other grounding systems, e.g. ground connections of
homes, telephone or power lines.
• away from animals or pathways as animals or people may damage the grounding.
• accessible to you at any time for maintenance purposes.
If you run any connection cables through the inside of buildings, then you must
always use insulated high-voltage cables.

8. THE IDEAL FENCE

Regardless of the types of conducting material used in your fence, there are a few things
to keep in mind in order to ensure good conductivity.
• Keep your electric fence system free from vegetation. Do not run your fence through
hedges and avoid having any branches or bushes complete the circuit. This will
reduce the voltage on your fence and the shock strength of the electrical pulse
may no longer be powerful enough.
• Ensure that the conducting material in your fence does not touch the ground, e.g.
by sagging.
• Only use fence posts with insulators so as to insulate the conducting material from
the post and the ground. This will prevent any loss of voltage and ensure the desired
current flows through the conducting material of the fence.
Suitable accessories are available for using metal posts and industrial fences.
