Q: What happens if someone
touches the system?
A: They will receive a very unpleasant short, sharp shock.
Q: Is it legal?
A: Yes, in Europe it is covered by the Electric Fence Standard and the USA it is
governed by local ordinances for electric fencing. Check local zoning laws for guidance.
Q: What about maintenance?
A: IP electric fencing requires a minimum of maintenance. An annual check of fence
condition and clearing of weed growth is suggested.
Q: How does the system handle false alarms due to weather, rain, fog, snow,
etc.?
A: If the fence is clear of vegetation, the Induced Pulse system has a very low
false alarm rate under such conditions.
Q: What happens if the power fails?
A: All the high end IP systems have battery backup built in.
Q: What are the costs to
operate the system?
A: Operational costs are very low. Power consumption on the most complex IP system
is around 30 Watts. Annual maintenance would raise the running costs.
Q: Is the
system zoned for alarm management and response?
A: Yes. Depending on customer requirements. Most IP systems are at least four zones.
The majority of large sites are at least six zones.
Q: What is the maximum zone length?
A: Zone lengths are governed by the length of live wire in the system. We suggest
no more than 5,000 ft (1,500m) of live wire. So a 30 wire IP fence would be limited
to 330 ft. (100m). However, a 24 wire system could span 410 ft. (125m.).
Q: Does the system lower
my insurance costs?
A: In the UK centain insurance companies have given users of the IP system a discount.
Q: Is the Induced Pulse perimeter intrusion detection system networkable?
A: Yes, using the IP6000 control system.
Q: Is it possible
to have remote access to the controls?
A: Yes, depending on the choice of headend and limitations of your LAN.
Q: Can I switch off or isolate individual zones without disabling the entire
system?
A: Yes, using the IP6000 control system. |
