Do you want to boost security at your premises and make sure that undesirable elements do not gain entry into your property? Guard-Alert Electronics has the solution through its wide range of electric fence applications for commercial, industrial and residential properties. The fence applications include wall top, stand alone fences and razor wire, which all have the function of deterring thieves’ entry into your premises.
A component called a power energizer converts power into a brief high voltage pulse. One terminal of the power energizer releases an electrical pulse along a connected bare wire about once per second. Another terminal is connected to a metal rod implanted in the earth, called a ground or earth rod. A person or animal touching both the wire and the earth during a pulse will complete an electrical circuit and will conduct the pulse, causing an electric shock. (source Wikipedia)The electric shock is not meant to be lethal according to the laws of the country, but will be enough to cause a level of discomfort to the intruder.
Guard-Alert Electronics recommends that the electric fence is connected to an alarm so that a signal is sent straight away to the 24 hour manned control room. The control room will call the premises owners to find out what may have caused the disturbance on the electric fence. However, in the case of the premises not being occupied, a Rapid Response vehicle is dispatched straight away to investigate the cause of the activation.
