Safety During Operation - VOSS.farming impuls V30 Notice D'utilisation

► Keep a minimum distance of 10 m between any electrode of the energiser and other
grounding systems (e.g. protective grounding of a power distribution system or a
grounding of a telecommunication system).
► Ensure that connection lines that are routed inside buildings are effectively insulated
from earthed, load-bearing parts of the building. To ensure this, use insulated high-
voltage cables.
► Ensure that underground connection lines are routed through electrical conduits made
from insulating material or otherwise use insulated high-voltage cables.
► Ensure that connection lines are not damaged by sinking animal hooves or tractor
wheels.
► When installing the electric animal fence, do not use the electric conduit from any
external sources, third parties i.e. telecommunication companies or the main power
conduit entering the building.
► The electric animal fence must be no less than 2.5 m away from earthed, metallic
objects (e.g. drinking troughs, water pipes). This is particularly important in areas
where people may be present.
► Do not cross connection lines and electric animal fence wires over high-voltage or
communication lines.
► Avoid crossings with high-voltage lines. If this cannot be avoided, the crossing must be
made below the power line at a 90° angle and as close as possible.
► Do not power an electric animal fence with two separate electric fence energisers or
from the independent fence circuits of the same energiser.
► Barbed wire or razor wire must not be electrified with an energiser.
► Non-electrified barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
offset electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The electrified wires must be kept
at a vertical distance of at least 150 mm from the non-electrified wires by means of
supports. Make sure that the non-electrified wire is earthed at regular intervals.
► There must be a minimum distance of 2.5 m between two separate electric animal
fences, which are powered by separate independently clocked electric fence energisers.
If there should be a physical barrier between the fences then only use electrically non-
conductive materials or an insulated metal barrier.
► Ensure that all mains-operated auxiliary equipment connected to the electric animal
fence has the same degree of insulation as the energiser used.
► Ensure that the auxiliary equipment is weatherproof. Outdoor use is only permitted if
it has been certified by the manufacturer and the equipment has a minimum degree
of protection of IPX4.

2.3 Safety during Operation

► Lightning can cause fires and lead to malfunctions on electric fences. Separating the
energiser from the fence and power source before a storm or possible lightning strike
can minimise the effects of lightning. Redirect the current of the lightning strike to the
ground before it damages the energiser by installing a lightning rod between the fence
and the energiser.
