INSTRUCTION MANUAL VOSS.FARMING IMPULS
TIP 6: IMPROVE GROUNDING
1. Drive the earth rods into damp soil at least 1 m deep and 10 m away from the building.
2. If necessary, add more rods at a distance of at least 3 m between them and connect them
together. Earth rods must be non-rusting, which means they are either stainless steel or
galvanised.
TIP 7: TYPICAL LAYOUT OF AN ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEM

1. ENERGISER
It supplies power to the fence system. The correct choice of device depends on the total fence
length, animal species to be fenced in or out and available power supply options. There are 9 V
battery energisers, 12V rechargeable battery energisers and mains energisers.
2. GROUNDING ROD / EARTHING
The basic requirement for a functional electric fence, optimal fence voltage and fence security
is good grounding. The ideal distance between grounding rods is 3 m and they should be pushed
as deep as possible into the ground. In accordance to VDE, fence and house grounding must be
at least 10m apart.
Info
Ground rods must be rust-resistant. In dry conditions, watering the grounding rods to
improve the grounding and to have sufficient voltage at the fence often helps. As standard,
1-1.5m long rods are used.
3. HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE
This cable is multi-purpose. It is used, among other things, to connect the energiser to the
grounding rod or connecting several rods together. In addition, high-voltage cables are used to
pass electricity close to the ground or underground.
N OTI CE
Only single core (high-voltage suitable) cables may be used and never commercially
available 3-core household cables (NYM cables). To prevent damage from stones,
rodents, etc, you can pass the cable through a garden hose or similar.
