The Electric Detection System (EDS)®

Australian Security Fencing has taken perimeter security to the next level with this unique range of EDS Electric Detection System products. The EDS fencing system is one of the few perimeter systems largely developed and manufactured in Australia and is continually proving to be the most reliable and cost effective method for perimeter security. A standard EDS system is 2.7 metres high consisting of thirty wires, an electric fence barrier that exceeds previous fencing systems. The compulsory warning signs and the systems deterring appearance warns would be intruders that there is a real risk of receiving a sharp regulated shock if the electric fence is deliberately touched, tampered with or climbed. The systems unique ability to monitor the electric fence line ensures reliable security of people and property.

The Security Energized Fence System comprises if a series of horizontal, smooth, corrosion resistant, high tensile steel or alloy wires, positioned approximately 90mm apart. These wires are tensioned to between 30-40 kilograms and supported by specially designed insulators fitted to the Security support and strain posts.

Energised Security Fence Systems can be fitted to almost any existing wall/roof or fence, or can be installed inside the boundary as a freestanding barrier. Care is taken in the system design to ensure that the Security Fence is correctly applied and that no "man traps" are formed. Energised Security Fence Systems are extended to a minimum height of 600mm above an existing fence or wall, to provide an anti-climb section.

All gates are fully protected in a similar manner, with the addition of a high security gate switch. The electric fence gate switch is suitable for mounting on all types of gates, as well as providing fully protected exit/entry routes. They are also used to generate instant alarms whenever unauthorised gates are opened, during the protected period.

Control Equipment

Australian Security Fencing has access to a large range of control equipment and system accessories for varying applications. The Security Fence control systems can be stand alone or interfaced with almost any other form of alarm, control, monitoring or reporting system. System logics allow for the level of detection to be set at site and individual requirements.

Reliability

Unlike other perimeter systems, the Energised Security Fence System actively deters would be intruders and is totally unaffected by phenomena such as, wind, rain, snow, fleet, fog, wild animals or birds. (Most of which cause other systems to false alarm). Energised Security Fence systems are therefore ideal for the protection of external fences, walls, roofs and boundaries.

Low Cost of Ownership

Due to the systems reliable performance, active deterrent value and minimum electric fence running cost (less than 40 watts when the system is on and armed).

Many system owners have reported recovering the cost of their Security Fence system installation, in a matter of months. This has been achieved by stopping any further crime or loss and the reduction of other associated security and management costs.

Unique System Features

Security Energized Fence Systems:-

• Deters Would be intruders with a short, sharp, regulated but painful electric shock.
• Denies Unauthorised access
• Defends Provides an active inner security electric fence barrier through which any would be intruder would have to pass to achieve their goal.
• Detects Alarms are generated if the Security Energized Fence system is tampered with. Unique technology allows us to custom design the level of detection to meet individual site requirements.

Duty of Care

By nature of the system's design and construction, the Energised Security Fence system actively monitors the entire perimeter fence or boundary. This provides appropriate security and monitoring to maintain "Duty of Care" on sites where Dangerous or Hazardous situations exist.
