10. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Always turn off the VOSS.farming impuls and unplug it from the mains when performing
maintenance and cleaning work. The unit does not require regular 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 (such as anti-theft protection, child
protection) if necessary in the installed location.
• Special use of electric fences in zoos or wildlife enclosures: Installation of such
systems may only be carried out by 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.
