| 1. |
Will my cat be electrocuted? |
 |
Cats are preceptive to the aurora of the
electric fence. That means they can smell the magnetic
field and therefore would not normally be shocked by it. |
| 2. |
Will it kill my child? |
|
No, the pulse is intermittent. Should a child or for
that matter an adult touch the fence the immediate reaction
is to pull away. |
| 3. |
What sort of a deterrent is it? |
|
An excellent deterrent. It is designed to keep unwanted
people outside. Should it be cut, unlike razor wire for
example an alarm will sound. |
| 4. |
Will my dog get hurt or electrocuted? |
|
Dogs would usually touch the fence, but thereafter not
continue to touch it, they will not die by merely touching
it. |
| 5. |
Can a criminal place something like a blanket or
rubber matton top of it climb over? |
|
Due to the fence design using springs the wire will
be shorted out when touching. |
| 6. |
Is it possible to connect the fence to my rapid response
company? |
|
Yes, most electric fences are connected to a rapid response
company. |
| 7. |
Is it necessary to connect to a rapid response company? |
|
It is not compulsary, however there is a distinct advantage
in doing so. |
| 8. |
What would happen if the wires were cut? |
|
Firstly it would be difficult to cut the live wire without
been shocked and if this did happen the fence would immediately
go to alarm when wired in series. |
| 9. |
What sort of voltage is in the fence? |
|
The maximum voltage allowed by law is 10,000 volts.
However it is the capacity of the energizer that gives
the shock. The capacity is measured in joules not volts. |
| 10. |
Will my monthly electricity account increase dramatically? |
|
No, an energizer uses very little power, for the average
house it could be less than twenty rand per month. |
| 11. |
What happens should there be a power failure |
|
The good energizers have a battery backup and therefore
will continue to work. |
| 12. |
Do tree branches have an effect on the fence? |
|
It is advisable to keep these trimmed back, however
a good energizer is not adversely effected. |
| 13. |
Will I get a shock if it touches my gate |
|
Not if the fence is fitted by Electerrific |
| 14. |
Do I only switch on the fence when I go out, or at
night time? |
|
No, the fence is to remain on day and night every day
of the year. |
Should you have any other questions or are not quite clear
about any of the above information please call Electerrific,
for further assistance. We will be only too glad to help you.
