2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when installing and operating electric fencing. Read and understand all instructions before beginning installation.

• Ensure the electric fence energizer is properly grounded according to manufacturer instructions.
• Do not connect more fence tape than the energizer is rated for.
• Keep children and pets away from the electric fence area during operation.
• Install warning signs at regular intervals along the fence line, especially in public areas.
• Avoid touching the fence tape while the energizer is active.
• In case of lightning, disconnect the energizer from the power source.
• Regularly inspect the fence for damage or loose connections.

3. Package Contents

Your VOSS.farming Electric Fence Tape package should contain the following:

• 1 x VOSS.farming 200m Electric Fence Tape (40mm wide, 9 x 0.16mm Stainless Steel Conductors, White)

Note: Additional components such as energizers, fence posts, insulators, and connectors are sold separately and are required for a complete electric fence system.

4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the effectiveness and safety of your electric fence. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Plan Your Fence Layout: Determine the perimeter of the area you wish to fence. Mark the positions for corner posts and line posts.
2. Install Fence Posts: Securely install corner posts first, followed by line posts at appropriate intervals. Ensure posts are sturdy enough to withstand tension.
3. Attach Insulators: Install appropriate insulators (designed for 40mm tape) on all posts. Insulators prevent the electric current from shorting to the posts and ensure the tape remains electrified.
4. Run the Fence Tape:
   • Begin by securing one end of the VOSS.farming fence tape to a corner post using a suitable tape connector or knot.
   • Unroll the tape, threading it through the insulators on each post. Maintain consistent tension.
   • At corners, use corner insulators or specialized corner connectors to prevent wear on the tape.
   • When reaching the end of the fence line or connecting multiple rolls, use tape connectors to ensure a secure and conductive connection.

5. Connect to Energizer: Once the tape is fully installed, connect the fence tape to the "Fence" terminal of your electric fence energizer. Connect the "Ground" terminal of the energizer to a properly installed ground rod.
6. Test the Fence: Before activating, perform a visual inspection. Once satisfied, turn on the energizer and use a fence tester to verify proper voltage along the entire fence line.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating your VOSS.farming electric fence system is straightforward once installed:

• Activation: Ensure all connections are secure and the energizer is properly grounded. Plug in or activate your electric fence energizer.
• Monitoring: Periodically check the fence voltage using a fence tester to ensure it is operating at optimal levels.
• Deactivation: To work on the fence or allow passage, always turn off and unplug the energizer before touching any part of the fence line.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and effectiveness of your electric fence tape:

• Clear Vegetation: Keep the fence line clear of weeds, grass, and branches that can short out the fence and reduce voltage.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the tape for cuts, fraying, or broken conductors. Repair or replace damaged sections promptly using appropriate connectors.
• Check Insulators: Ensure all insulators are intact and securely attached to the posts. Replace any cracked or broken insulators.
• Connection Integrity: Verify that all tape connectors and energizer connections are tight and free of corrosion.
• Energizer Check: Follow the maintenance guidelines for your specific electric fence energizer.
