Electric Fencing
Modern day Electric Fencing offers a cost-effective solution that is gaining popularity as one of the means of perimeter protection. The quality of installation and the choice of appropriate electric fencing equipment can provide a modern solution that is not a poor cousin in the industry.
Done correctly, with emphasis on the accountability of the system and operator, a wide range of different technologies may be integrated to provide total site management.
The obvious physical presence of the fence with its bright yellow warning signs presents a potent front-line deterrent. Access to the premises can therefore be denied at the perimeter. As soon as an attempt to climb or cut the fence is made, a safe short, sharp, very unpleasant shock is felt, resulting in a very effective deterrent. Any attempt to breach the fence generates an immediate alarm.
Important notes on electric fences:
Ensure your that your installer has the necessary experience and expertise to do the actual electric fence installation, call references!
Try not to use bakkie brigade installers for any security installations as this has caused many people emotional pain, financial damage and massive damages to properties.
An electric fence is your first line of defense, make sure the correct electric fencing poles are used.
Ensure that your electric fence has been installed in series, after your installer has completed the electric fence installation let him test the electric fence volts (electric fence volts must be above 7000 volts). Once the volts have been tested, ask the installer to cut one wire on the electric fence. Did the electric fence trigger an alarm? If yes, get the installer to ferrule the electric fence and cut the wire below. This is a very important test on your electric fence, if one wire is cut on the electric fence and an alarm is not triggered the electric fence has not been completed in series.
Please keep the above notes in mind when getting and electric fence installed as is could save you allot of emotional pain and finical loss....
