10. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Always turn off the VOSS.PET fenci and unplug it from the mains when performing
maintenance and cleaning work. The unit does not require regularly maintenance,
but you should inspect it visually on a regular basis. Check all cables and lines for
damage. Contact a specialist immediately to replace any broken parts or cables.
Do not operate the energiser if there is any damage. Keep the energiser clean by
wiping it with a slightly damp cloth.
Prevent misuse of the energiser by:
• Paying attention to markings on the device
• Securing it against unauthorised access (e.g. anti-theft protection, child protection)
if necessary in the installed location.
• Special applications of electric fences in zoos or wildlife enclosures: Installation
of such systems may only be carried out qualified electricians. A non-electric fence
must be present to separate visitors from the electric fence.
• If the mains connection lines to the energiser are damaged, then these must be
replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's customer services or another
similarly qualified person in order to avoid injury.
• Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by authorised specialists.
Only replacement parts authorised by the manufacturer may be used.

11. OPERATING PRINCIPLE AND LIMITS OF ELECTRIC FENCES FOR ANIMALS

An electric fence consists of an energiser and an insulated fence. The energiser
supplies the fence with short electrical pulses. The electric fence presents a
"physical" and "psychological" barrier to animals. The short high-voltage pulses
are very unpleasant and animals will quickly learn to respect the electric fence.
A properly installed electric fence can provide a high level of safety and has many
advantages compared to a purely mechanical fence. As a psychological barrier, the
electric shock discourages animals from trying to get over the fence. Less work and
fewer materials are required, alterations are easily made, it is suitable for a very
wide range of animals and offers a great deal of protection against injury.

12. OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE ELECTRIC FENCE ENERGISER

The electric fence energiser emits an electrical pulse through the fence about once
every second. The pulse gives the animal a short, sharp, yet harmless shock. This is
in no way dangerous for the animal, but is enough that it will remember to avoid
the fence in future.
