Electro-Fence - The ultimate active deterrent

Electric Fencing

Electro-Fence

A non-lethal, pulsed electric fence that deters, detects and delays intruders at the perimeter line.

Overview

Electro-Fence™ is a high-security pulsed electric fence engineered to deter, detect and delay intruders before they reach your asset. A safe but unpleasant non-lethal pulse provides a powerful psychological and physical deterrent, while an integrated monitoring system raises the alarm the instant the fence is tampered with, cut or climbed.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, Electro-Fence™ can be deployed as a freestanding barrier or retrofitted to an existing fence line, making it a cost-effective upgrade for critical national infrastructure and high-value sites worldwide.

At the heart of every Electro-Fence™ installation is the Pulstar™ energiser range (EF-100 and EF-130 series) - generating the precise, energy-limited pulse that gives the fence its deterrent power while continuously monitoring every zone for cut, climb and short-circuit attacks.

Key Features

  • Non-lethal high-voltage pulse, safe by design
  • Detects cut, climb and short-circuit attack within the set range of pulses
  • Zoned energizers for precise breach localisation
  • Freestanding or retrofit to existing fence lines
  • Alarms integrate with Multisys® or any system accepting dry relay contacts
  • Low-voltage alarm mode: switch the 10 kV off and still receive fence alarms
  • Backwards compatible: systems 10, 20 years old and older remain supported
  • Tamper-evident high-tensile wire construction
  • NPSA Assured
  • Powered by Pulstar™ EF-100 / EF-130 series energisers

Applications

  • Critical national infrastructure
  • Substations & power generation
  • Correctional facilities (NLEF)
  • Data centres & high-value storage
  • Defence & government estates

How It Works

Detect. Deter. Alert. Record.

01

Detect

Continuous monitoring of circuit integrity flags any cut, climb or short on the fence line.

02

Deter

A safe, non-lethal high-voltage pulse delivers a powerful physical and psychological deterrent.

03

Alert

Zoned energizers raise an instant alarm and pinpoint the exact breach location.

04

Record

Events are passed to Multisys®, your existing control system or any platform accepting dry relay contacts, exactly as your operation requires.
