1. What is High Voltage Security Fencing?
Answer:
It is one or more bare
conductors, that are charged with approximately 5,000 to 10,000 volts. These conductors are mounted on insulators
(ASAT-77)(LOC-41)(ASAT-70)(ASAT-72).
This can be done on top of a cement wall, or an inter-woven
"chain-link" fence
and render the existing wall/fence virtually un-climbable. The fence can also be designed and constructed as a
stand-alone fence. Please refer to our
picture collection.

2.
Why does High Voltage Security Fencing work so well?
Answer:
Electricity is invisible and
most people are extremely intimidated by it. Although NON-LETHAL, the painful
shock delivered to anyone that comes in contact with the fence, and will discourage
the most persistent intruder. The
voltage monitor
will sound an alarm if a
high
voltage conductor
is cut or shorted, so the fence is virtually impenetrable without sounding an
alarm. The
BEST reason to use a High Voltage Electric Fence vrs Electronic Security is, that it keeps intruders off
your property completely, rather than just detect them when they are already in
your house or business.

3.
Why is High Voltage Security Fencing so cost effective?
Answer:
The operational costs are
less than
Php1.00
peso
a
day. It never sleeps and you can
reduce
your guard staff by half or more, and still have an impenetrable and secure
perimeter.
( back to
QUESTIONS)
4.
How do you
justify spending the money for a High Voltage Security Fence?
Answer:
The system never sleeps, and
operational costs are less than
Php1.00
peso
a day. The most convincing justification
is, although your guard staff is cut in half or less, the remaining guards in
conjunction with the
electric fence
and voltage monitoring are equivalent to
more than double your previous guard force.
The High Voltage Security Fence
does NOT just detect an intruder. IT PREVENTS A TRESPASSER FROM BEING AN
INTRUDER

QUESTIONS)
5. Does
it take a contractor, or can it be
installed by yourself?
Answer:
We have many
contractors
around the
country
that specialize in installing fence
systems,
it is easy and
straightforward to install
yourself if you like.
While guides and manuals are available the
design
section of this web-site will provide ideas and answers for most situations.
If you can't find answers to
what you are looking for, please email our engineering department with your
questions, and we will be glad to provide suggestions for "no charge".

QUESTIONS)
6.
How is it
installed? What are the types of walls or fences can use it?
Answer: A
High Voltage Security Fence
is a design addition to almost any kind of existing
fence or wall. If designed correctly, it will make your current wall virtually
impenetrable. Our
picture gallery
provides answers and ideas for most design
problems.
( back to
QUESTIONS)
7.
Do I have to
turn it ON and OFF every now and then? Or I can just leave it though am away?
Answer:
It is designed to
work
24 hours/ 7 days a week
for years
and should be left on all the time. The extremely low daily operational cost
makes this desirable.
You should
leave it on
especially when you're
far from home for a day or a month or longer.

QUESTIONS)
8. What if there's
a heavy rain, typhoon or a change of weather, Is it still safe?
Electricity is involved here and water or wet is very prone to cause electric
shock, how can we be safe on that?
Answer:
It is designed to
function in all weather conditions and is safe anytime, whatever the season is.
It is actually more effective when the weather is rainy or wet.

QUESTIONS)
9.
Question: What happens if a child or elderly person comes into contact with the Electric
Fence system?
Answer:
In accordance with the
Security Code of Practice and Minimum Quality
Safety Standards, all systems are designed and installed to minimize the risk of accidental
contact. The impulses are regulated safe
for the entire population in accordance with
safety standards.
( back to
QUESTIONS)
10. Question: Is the system legal?
Answer:
Yes.
The system is legal as the
system
design, components and installation
comply with the requirements of all Philippine National Electric Code plus
conforming to all international safety standards. (see
safety standards)
( back to
QUESTIONS)
11.
Question:
Is it an effective deterrent?
Answer: Yes. It is very effective, as most people will not know that it is
non-lethal and are afraid of electric shock. Although Non-Lethal the fence will
apply a painful shock.
( back to
QUESTIONS)
12.
Question: Will my monthly electric bill increase? If NOT, why and how does it work?
Answer: No! The power usage of an electric fence is
only a few cents
a day.
The actual wattage used is very small. Because the pulse are so very short and
only repeats about once a second, the average power consumed is quite small
compared to the high voltage that it produces.
( back to
QUESTIONS)
13
Question:
What happens if there is a power failure?
Answer:
The
fence charger is equipped with a
battery
in case of energy outages and will
provide power to your fence for several days without city power during a power
failure, brownout or blackout.
( back to QUESTIONS)
14.
Question: Will the fence hurt my child or pet?
Answer:
No, Years of study and research have determined the safe limits of this type of
system. The voltage and width of the electric pulse applied to the fence has
been tested and proven to be safe.
( back to QUESTIONS)
15.
Question: In what way you can assure if it is really safe, how does it work?
Answer:
It is non-lethal
and it has been proven over a hundred years of usage. The pulse lasts for just a short time
(0.0005 seconds), that it will not harm the human body, not even a small child. It's painful but
not harmful.

Advantages to using a High Voltage
Security Fence
Visual Appearance - The
psychological and physical deterrent of a professionally
installed electric fence has
been proven effective and is more aesthetic
than broken
glass or barbed wire or razor wire and more effective
Installation - A High
Voltage Electric Security Fence is easily, and in-expensively added to any type
of existing wall or fence. It can be designed to make a decorative wall an
effective perimeter security barrier.
Shock Capacity – if it is
correctly wired and installed,
the 10,000 volt pulse will
provide a
shock that
is painful enough
to deter
the most determined trespasser, yet
will not harm a child or pet.
Cost – The
least expensive of any type
of fence or wall
while providing
the highest and most
affordable security. It can be
easily added to any existing wall or
fence.
Effectiveness - Prevents
virtually all vandalism,
trespass and
petty theft.
Size – One fence charger
can electrify up to10 kilometers of fence to protect the largest bodega or
compound.
Alarm –
Light or siren is available if the fence is cut, or shorted, or
compromised.
