Certification of Electric Fences

It’s crucial to ensure your electric fence meets the SANS 10222-3:2016 standards and is constructed correctly. Should an incident occur, a current and valid electric fence compliance certificate will be required by your insurer. The process for inspecting and testing the fence includes initial tests at different points under various conditions, recording the outcomes, and checking the energizer for proper function and battery capacity. After any necessary repairs, a Compliance Certificate is issued to certify compliance with the SANS 10222-3:2016 regulations.

How do we fix your electric fence?

The Fence Scope Electric Fence Tester allows us to assess various parameters of your electric fence. This includes measuring the output and peak voltage under load conditions, monitoring current flow, and analyzing a real-time waveform to pinpoint short circuits. It also aids in tracing the exact location of a fault for prompt electric fence repairs, detecting wire noise, and determining its cause. Utilizing this tester not only saves time but also reduces costs. Reach out to us at 0721234267 for a comprehensive electric fence evaluation to maintain its optimal performance.

Electric fence maintenance and repair

Properly maintaining and repairing your electric fence ensures its optimal operation. Since the energizer emits voltage pulses approximately every second and maintains a low current in the fence, it helps extend the equipment’s lifespan. However, when vegetation comes into contact with the fence wires, it increases the current flow. Consequently, it’s crucial to understand that energizers cannot sustain high currents for extended periods; otherwise, they will damage the high-voltage coils and prevent the energizer from pulsing through vegetation. As a result, this situation might stop it from delivering the intended electric shock to an intruder. Therefore, to ensure your electric fence’s longevity and functionality, diligently follow a maintenance and usage guide.

General maintenance requirements for users

Maintaining optimal performance of your electric fence is essential. Regular maintenance is the key to this. For satisfactory results, it’s recommended that the owner of the electric fence carry out a general check every month and a thorough inspection quarterly.

Monthly overview inspection

To safeguard your electric fence and its wires from external damage, regular checks are crucial. A monthly check-up entails patrolling the fence line to address any apparent issues, clearing away vegetation and debris, securing any slack wires, and repairing damaged components. For professional monthly inspection services, feel free to reach out to us at 0721234267.

Three-monthly detailed inspection

It’s important to conduct a detailed inspection of your electric fence every three months. During this time, walk the perimeter of the fence to identify any issues, secure any slack wires, and mend or swap out any broken parts. Additionally, verify that the energizer is installed correctly, examine the grounding system, and remove any obstructing plants or rubbish. Furthermore, inspect the insulators, connections, and the vicinity of gates for any defects, and replace any compromised components. Moreover, make a note of any items that don’t meet standards. If you prefer, you can reach out to us at 0721234267 to arrange for a professional inspection service every quarter.

Electric fence indication lights

Electric fence indication lights. How it works!

The blinking LEDs on your electric fence serve as a gauge for the energy coursing through it. A longer interval between blinks signals a drop in voltage. Should you observe this, reach out to us for a prompt repair to bring your fence back to optimal function. Our services ensure that you, your family, and your property remain protected at all times. For installation of your electric fence, feel free to send us a WhatsApp message or give us a call at 0721234267. More details are available on our Contact page.

Electric fence indication lights. Features!

The device signals the power status of the fence, providing peace of mind. It is visible from up to 1km away at night and 100m during the day. An excellent addition for self-diagnosing your fence’s functionality. It requires no batteries and consumes minimal power from the fence itself. The highly visible LEDs offer a 160-degree viewing angle, ensuring the light is directed into the secured area only. It functions effectively between 0.9kV and 12kV and is compatible with most electric fence energizers.

Why use electric fence indication lights?

Electric fence indicator lights are a handy diagnostic tool for homeowners, making it simple to ascertain the status of their electric fence with just a quick look. These lights adjust their flashing frequency to signal any decline in the fence’s performance. Plus, they’re designed to be visible only to those on the property and are easily spotted even in daylight. With this innovative feature, you can rest assured that your electric fence is functioning correctly.
