Is an electric fence legal?
There are no local laws that prohibits or rule against
its use. It is perfectly legal to have it installed, and
hundreds of buildings, residencies, industries and stores
already have done it without any problem in many countries.
An Electric Fence is installed following
international regulationson the matter (CENELEC) and based
on the principle of private property.
What are the permits
needed to install an Electric Fence?
An Electric Fence does not require any permits. Like any
other system of perimeter protection, such as fences,
TV closed circuits, monitoring systems or concertinas,
it does not require any special permission for its installing,
however, in the case of a security Electric Fence, its
presence must be warned with signs.
What happens when the
power runs out?
The energizer has a back up battery that allows it to
work for up to 48 hours in case of power deficiencies,
in the area.
What maintenance does
the Electric Fence need once installed?
Once it is installed, does not require much maintenance,
only to keep it clear of vegetation: branches and tree
leaves that may fall and get hooked, to keep the lines
tense and to check the voltage level every now and then.
Keeping the system free of vegetation is something that
can be done by the house or building’s gardener.
We recommend that every time any work is going to be done
near the electric fence it remains turned off. Enérgico
S.A. offers a Maintenance Policy.
Is it necessary to take any action
regarding the neighbors' properties when a new fence is
been installed?
Just as with the fences or walls that
border other lots it is always good to coordinate with their
owners, who in many cases, have installed an Electric Fence
and shared the cost between neighbors or each one saving
the adjoining they share by having their exterior common
perimeter protected.
Is the electric bill
affected by the electric fence operation?
No, the electric fence consumes a minimum amperage equivalent
to a 5 watts light bulb .
Are there any false alarms due
to the accidental rubbing of pets?
The system does not activate the alarm if a cat or any
other small animal touches it simply repels it without
causing permanent damage, but it will not trigger the
alarm. For this to happen, three or more lost pulses are
needed.
