USING THE CONNECTOR FOR TESTING THE GROUNDING VOLTAGE

WA R N IN G AGA IN ST E LE CTRI CAL VOLTAGES
»
Follow the safety instructions concerning location and installation when
grounding the fence (see section 2.2).
»
Maintain a distance of 10 m to other grounded systems (e.g. protective earthing
of the power supply system or the earthing of a telecommunications system).
»
To prevent possible damage, ensure that animals or other people cannot
access the grounding. However, the grounding must be accessible for any
maintenance tasks required.
The VOSS.farming Xtreme duo RF is equipped with an extra connector for testing the grounding
voltage (14). The values measured can subsequently be read on the energiser display.

7.5.1 INSTALLING THE GROUNDING POST FOR GROUNDING VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

1. Place an additional grounding post (length 75 cm) at a distance of roughly 10 m from the
energiser grounding.
I n fo
The greater the distance between the grounding points, the more precise the measurement
will be.
2. Connect the grounding post cable to the green connector to test the grounding voltage (14) at
the energiser.
7.5.2 TESTING THE GROUNDING VOLTAGE WHEN FENCE RESISTANCE IS UNDER 500
OHMS
Check the display on the energiser to see whether the fence resistance is less than 500 ohms.
If this is the case, you can read the grounding voltage measurement from the energiser display.
The grounding voltage is shown on the energiser display (see Section 7.5.4)
7.5.3 TESTING THE GROUNDING VOLTAGE WHEN FENCE RESISTANCE IS OVER 500
OHMS
1. Check the display on the energiser to see whether the fence resistance is more than 500 ohms.
If this is the case, then it is necessary to create an artificial ground discharge (short circuit).
2. To create an artificial ground discharge (short circuit), proceed as follows:
• Switch the energiser off.
• Take a metal object that conducts electricity or another grounding post, and drive it into
the ground at a distance of at least 50 m from the energiser, and at least 10 m from the
energiser grounding.
• Connect the grounding post with the conducting material.
• Switch the energiser on.
• Check whether the resistance is <500 ohms. If this is not the case, create additional
artificial ground discharges (short circuits) in your fence system, following the procedure
described above.
3. Check the display on the energiser to see whether the fence resistance is less than 500 ohms.
If this is the case, you can read the grounding voltage measurement from the energiser display.
The grounding voltage is shown on the energiser display (see Section 7.5.4)
4. If the grounding voltage is in the 0–0.20 kV range, switch the energiser off and remove the
artificial ground discharges (short-circuits) from your fence system.
