  • How do Gallagher’s electric fences work?

    Gallagher electric fences use sensors that continuously measure and report on the tension of the wire, as well as monitor for vibrations. Using this data, our site perimeter monitoring differentiates between intruders and disturbances from wildlife or harsh weather conditions. When an intruder is detected, a notification is instantly sent alerting designated personnel.

    If the wire is energized, energized pulses are regularly sent through it. This delivers a short but safe shock to an intruder who touches it, making it almost impossible to climb the fence.
