Planning to Secure Your
Perimeter with an Electric
Fence? Here’s What You Need
to Know
Introduction
The fear of electric shocks has long been a psychological barrier
for many people when considering electric fences for perimeter
security. However, electric fences can provide a safe and legal
means of protecting your property from unwanted intruders, as
long as they are sourced from reliable vendors who adhere to
safety standards.
The Risks of Unverified
Electric Fences
Choosing electric fences from unverified or unknown
vendors can be hazardous. Such fences may not comply
with safety standards, posing significant risks to both life
and property. It is crucial to select a system that
prioritizes safety while effectively deterring intruders.
A1 UNICOPower: A Safe
and Effective Solution
Introducing A1 UNICOPower, a non-lethal, intelligent intrusion
detection system designed to deliver a safe yet effective
deterrent against intrusion attempts. It administers a brief,
sharp, and uncomfortable shock that repels intruders while
alerting the owner through local and remote audiovisual
alarms. Let’s explore the key features that make A1
UNICOPower a secure and efficient solution for perimeter
security.
Shock Effect on
Intruders
When an intruder touches the electric fence and receives a full
shock, they will not suffer serious harm. The shock is designed
to be extremely uncomfortable without causing long-term
effects, burns, or muscular pain. The discomfort ensures that
the intruder will not attempt to touch the fence again.
Key Safety Features
of A1 UNICOPower
• Short Shock Pulse Duration: A1 UNICOPower systems have
a pulse width of just 0.3 ms, which is significantly shorter
than a blink of an eye or the 10 ms duration of household
AC power.
• Easy Disengagement: With a pulse frequency of 1.2
seconds and a current duration of 0.3 ms, the system
provides a longer window for safe disengagement
compared to household AC power, reducing the risk of
prolonged contact.
Small Battery: The system uses a 12V 7AH battery, which is
incapable of causing any damage to the human body.
• Entangle-Free Design: The galvanized wires are evenly
arranged to prevent entanglement, which could cause
a short circuit.
• Low Output Power: The energizer’s 4-joule output is
equivalent to a 4W bulb, far weaker than the 200
joules of an AED or defibrillator.
Out of Reach Installation: The fence is typically installed
atop walls or behind a passive barrier if ground-mounted,
preventing accidental contact. Warning signs every 10
meters alert individuals outside the perimeter.
Compliance with
Safety Standards
Still unsure if A1 UNICOPower is safe? It complies with
stringent safety criteria as stipulated in IEC 60335-2-76:2006, a
legal
requirement
both
locally
and
internationally.
A1
UNICOPower has been tested and certified by Power Lab
Limited and Test Africa, two internationally accredited test
laboratories.
Conclusion
Electric fences utilize the fear of shocks to safeguard properties, but unreliable systems can
lead to dangerous consequences. A1 UNICOPower prioritizes safety while delivering an
effective intrusion detection and deterrence system. Its short pulse duration, easy
disengagement, entangle-free design, and adherence to safety standards make A1
UNICOPower a safe and reliable choice for perimeter security.
