   Electronic Fence Intrusion Systems What is Power Fence System? Power Fence is a series of regulated electrical pulses sent around the fence. These pulses give any would-be intruder a short, painful, but safe shock. The pulses are monitored so if intruders persist in climbing, cutting or tampering with the fence, the alarm will activate. How safe is Power Fence? Yes the system is guaranteed safe. The energiser components, design and operation comply with Australian Standard AS3129. The system installation criteria is regulated by Australian Standard AS3016. All installations must comply with Gallaghers own code of practice which exceeds the current existing Australian Standards. What is AS3129 & AS3016? AS3129 is the Australian Standard for the design, construction and operation of Electric Fence energisers. AS3016 is the Australian Standard for the installation of Electric Security Fence systems. This standard sets the safety and installation criteria to which each install must meet.  What are the basic requirements of AS3129 & AS3016? The maximum energy that can be produced by the security system energiser is limited by design to a maximum of five joules into a load of 500 ohms. The energiser is designed and required to comply with this output even under abnormal operating conditions such as component failure. The overall system is governed by AS3129 & AS3016 with due consideration given to the duty of care associated with such systems. This includes clearances, numbers of wires, the use of warning signs etc. The energiser is designed to be fail safe. The system is constructed with due consideration for duty of care. Warning signs are applied at appropriate intervals. How do I know if my Power Fence Installation complied to AS3016? All Power Fence installations are audited by Gallagher Engineers and tested for their compliance to the relevant Australian Standards. Each installation must also abide by the Gallagher Code of Practice
Is the System Legal? Yes the system is legal because the system design, components and installation comply with the requirements of AS3129 & AS3016. In addition because the system is only available from Accredited Dealers, who exercise "Duty of care" when considering the design, installation and maintenance of Power Fence systems, in accordance with Gallaghers Code of Practice and Minimum Quality Standards. Is the system prone to false alarm due to changes in the weather, heavy rain, fog, snow, high winds, falling leaves, wet paper bags, wild animals etc? No, unlike other perimeter systems the Power Fence technology and signal processing ignores these forms of interference Why does the system not generate an alarm if an animal or human touches the Power Fence wires? Any one who touches the Power Fence when the system is armed is repelled by a short, sharp, painful, but regulated safe electric shock. Only if someone attacks, tries to climb through or tampers with the Power Fence system, are alarms generated. What about false alarms? False alarms are virtually unheard of, because of the system quality and proven design. Unique patented electronics and system components are designed, installed and maintained by trained Accredited Dealers. They follow Gallaghers Code of Practice, Minimum Quality Standards, system inspection and Certification procedures. What happens if the main power fail? All Power Fence systems have standby power supplies. In the event of mains failure rechargeable batteries power the system for a minimum of 4 hours. If a longer period is required the size of the standby power supplies can be increased. What are the running costs of a typical Power Fence system? A standard Power Fence system consumes less than 40 watts fully armed. This is comparable with a small light bulb. Is the Power Fence system compatible with other security systems and equipment? Yes the Power Fence in it's standard form can be installed as a Stand alone system or directly interfaced with any other type of intruder alarm, access control or integrated security system. This is for all functions including arming, disarming, alarm monitoring and signalling. Can gates be protected? Yes, all forms of security opening, sliding and power gates can be fully protected with the Power Fence system.
Is it possible for the Power Fence to be on and monitor the perimeter security without the high voltage feature? Yes, Gallaghers have a fully monitored HV/LV system for the protection of storage yards, car parks and sites such as garden centres and factories, where authorised people can be exposed to the Power Fence system without the risk of the high voltage feature. During the day time the system is fully monitored using a unique LV system. When the premises are vacated, it can be armed with the additional feature of the high voltage deterrent. Is the Power Fence system zoned for alarm management and response? Yes, the standard International Power Fence system has a minimum of 6 zones for alarm management and monitoring purposes. These zones can be configured to meet with the exact site requirements, ie; programmable delayed zones for exit entry routes, gates etc and instant zones for standard perimeter protection. What is a maximum Power Fence zone length? On a standard Power Fence system, each zone can be up to 500 metres long. Therefore a standard 6 zone Power Fence control can be used for the protection of perimeter fencing from zero to 3 kilometres in length. Can the Power Fence system be used in conjunction with CCTV, security lighting and other alarm monitoring or annunciation? Yes, the Power Fence alarm and zone alarm outputs can be used to trigger or operate all forms of alarm monitoring, annunciation or signalling systems.
