- Inspect all sections of the fence to ensure that vegetation,
rubbish, or any other debris is well clear of the fence
line. Use systemic weed killer to contain vegetation growth.
- Similarly check that stock, plant, pallets, or any
other material or equipment associated with the customers
business is kept at least one metre away from the fence.
This will avoid damage and any possibility of it being
used as an improvised ladder for breaching the perimeter.
- Check the condition of the outer pipe and mesh fence
ensuring correct spacings are maintained between it and
the electrified fence wiring. Repair or re-tension if
necessary.
- Report to the customer any situation that will obviously
result in damage to the fence, cause false alarms, and
possibly jeopardise perimeter security. Make recommendations
where appropriate.
- With the system disarmed inspect and physically check
all the posts, wires, insulators, strainers, gate contacts,
crimps, joint clamps, warning signs, and any other equipment
to ensure they are correctly assembled, functional, and
secure. Pay particular attention to gate contact alignment
and wire tension.
- Clean all posts and insulators using a standard household
detergent where necessary.
- Check earthing and all lead out cabling from the energizer
/ monitor to the fence.
- Physically check any external signalling devices such
as sirens or lights associated with the fence security
system.
- After informing all site employees and the monitoring
station (if applicable), activate the system for live
testing.
- Check polarity and record voltages on all wires in all
sections of the fence. If there is obvious leakage in
a section of fence use the Stafix Directional Fault Finder
to locate the short and rectify.
- Using a set of jumper leads create a temporary short
on the line to test the alarm monitoring capability on
each section of fence.
- Check alarm outputs and signalling, including communication
to any external monitoring station. Check that alarm response
arrangements remain current.
- Unset the system then open the equipment housing to
check the case tamper and the battery voltage for charge.
- Disconnect the mains power supply and check that the
system continues to operate on battery only. Remember
to reconnect the power pack after this test.
- If the principle power source is solar energy check
and clean the panel(s) and battery connections.
- If possible give the customer a brief verbal report
and complete the service log sheet before leaving the
site. Follow up in writing with any recommendations and
quotations for additional work or equipment outside that
covered by the terms and conditions of the routine service
contract.
