Frequently Asked Quesons

1. What is a JVA Pet electric fence?

A JVA Pet electric fence is basically a psychological fear barrier that works on the principle of giving your pet a short, sharp, safe jolt that is sufficiently unpleasant to discourage it from touching the wire again.

2. Is it safe for my pet or child to touch?

The answer is yes.

The JVA Pet electric fence energizer is a low powered, solid state, electronic device that discharges a very short duration pulse of energy down the fence line every second.

The short duration, low energy pulse, coupled with a one second interval between pulses, is what makes the unit safe. Although it is safe we would not recommend placing the system where small children are likely to make contact with it.

3. Is it cruel?

While the Pet electric fence does give your pet a memorable jolt, it is far less cruel than a whipping and does not cause any lasting injuries such as can be caused by barbed wire.

The SPCA has made extensive use of electric fences for animal control.

4. How legal is the system?

The JVA Pet energizer range is a certified legal energizer which complies with the internationally accepted safety standards stipulated in SANS 60335 – 76. However, the fence should be erected within your property and have warning signs displayed.

5. Can I run my pet control fence along my veranda or boundary wall?

The difficulty here is being able to get a good earth return so as to complete the electric fence circuit. Concrete paving is not a good conductor, so the fence will not work effectively if all the wires are live. A live/earth wiring configuration will be needed in poor earthing conditions.

(See page 3)

Frequently Asked Quesons

6. Must an electrician install the system?

No. You do not need an electrician to install the system. By following the simple installation instructions included with the Pet Kit you will have no problem installing it yourself.

7. How far apart can I space my supports?

Being a phycological fear barrier, the fence is light and not physically strong so you can space your supports between 4 and 8 meters apart, just as long as the wires are kept parallel to the ground.

8. How many strands should I install?

A simple rule of thumb is nose height to the animal you intend to control. When training animals start with three strands, and once they are trained you can often get away with a single strand. If there are a variety of pets, you will obviously need more strands.

9. Can I control my other pets and animals?

Yes – all pets, from cats and guinea pigs to gerbils and geese; problem animals such as buck, porcupine and rabbits have all been controlled successfully with a Pet Kit. It even keeps snakes out of aviaries.

10. Do I have to return the fence to the energizer to complete the circuit?

No. The circuit is between the live wire and the ground. It is closed when an animal touches the live wire. In other words, you can run a wire in one direction and simply stop when you reach the point where you want to stop. You do not have to return to the energizer.

11. Can you give me a simple explanation as to how the system works?

This is best done by means of a diagram (See Basic Circuits of an Electric Fence page 3)

Basic Circuits of an Electric Fence System

An electric fence system comprises of three components: the energizer, the fence line, and the earthing system. When the three are connected together, a circuit is created and the electrons can now flow. If any one of these components is faulty, the whole system will be faulty. When an animal touches the live wire, it closes the circuit, providing a path through which electrons can flow from the red, posive terminal of the energizer, through the animal, to the green, negave terminal of the energizer. It is this flow of electrons through the animal which gives the shock that the animal experiences. There are two types of electric fence circuits: one is for moist ground condions and one is for dry ground condions. The reason for this is that moist ground is a good conductor of electrons, while dry ground is not. So, dry ground cannot be relied upon to close the circuit sasfactorily. Concrete driveways and paving will all have the same effect on the electric fence circuit as dry ground and a live earth wire configuraon will be needed in these circumstances.

Planning and Erecting a Fence

Step 1. Plan your fence layout

Consider number of corners and access points, height of the pet/s, number of wires, etc. Support rods are normally spaced every 8m. Where ground is uneven, more rods may be required to prevent pets from creeping underneath. For small pets, rods can be cut in half.

Space the support rods 4 to 8 meters apart ensuring that the wires run parallel to the contours of the ground.

For smaller animals the rods can be cut in half giving more rods for increased fence length.

Step 2. Installing the Pet Rods and Spring Clips

Squeeze each spring and slide it down the rod to the required height for each strand of wire. Note: The live wire should be set at nose height to the pet/s you wish to contain. Knock the rods into the ground. (See Fig 2) Take the support rod 6-8m apart, ensuring that the wires are parallel to the contours of the ground (See Fig 5)

Step 3. Cabling

If you have 2 non-adjacent sites, (See Fig 3) you will require some undergate cable to include both into the circuit. (See Fig 3)

Step 4. Gates

If a walkway requires access through the fence, create a gate using tape and appropriate support rods. (See Fig 4)

Wiring the Fence

Step 5. Threading

Most pet control fences require only live wires. Thread the Poliwire though the Spring Clips, starng from the energizer and tying off at the last clip in your circuit. In very dry condions, an earth wire should be included. (See Fig 5)

All Live:

Using a series circuit, loop the Poliwire from start to finish, clipping the wire through the springs.

Installing the Energizer

The energizer can be powered by mains, baery or baery with solar charging. Wiring can be all-live or alternate live earth.

Installaon Steps

1. Mount the energizer on a wall or support post.

2. Knock the galvanized earth stake into the ground close to the energizer This stake is key to good earthing and an effecve fence.

3. Using a piece of insulated wire, connect the green terminal of the energizer to the earth stake.

4. Similarly, connect the red terminal of the energizer to the fence line.

5. Switch on the energizer

If the fence is not operang:

Fault Finding

1. Check that the energizer is working – It should be cking.

2. If it is not cking, check the power source – Is there load shedding? Is the baery flat?

3. Check that the earth stake is sll intact and not corroded or rusted off.

4. Walk the fence line and check for broken strands, strands touching the earth or being touched by excessive vegetaon, or any bits of metal or other conductors which could 'leak' the power

Ø Animals need me and space to become accustomed to an electric fence.

Ø Do not crowd them or rush them at an electric fence.

Ø Let them find out in their own me that the new fence is hosle.

Ø Make sure that the fence is working properly the first me the animal makes contact with it, so that it learns to respect it.

Ø Explain to your children that the fence 'bites.' If they touch it aer that they'll soon learn to respect your warnings in future!

Underground Control Dog and Cat Fencing System

Ø The closer your dog gets to the buried boundary wire, the more intense the shock will become.

Ø A warning sound will be issued first, then a shock stimulus after 4–10 seconds. If your dog continues to move closer to the boundary, the shock stimulus will intensify.

Ø The system allows you to precisely control the width of the signal field.

Ø Should your buried wire ever break, a loud sonic alarm will sound accompanied by a flashing light.

Ø The faster your dog is moving, the quicker the higher level of shock intensity is increased.

Ø The transmitter is protected from power surges caused by lightning strikes.

Ø There is no limit to the number of collars it can control. Add as many collars as you like to contain as many animals as you have.

Ø It has a range of up to 5000 square meteres (over 1.2 acre).

An-Bark Collars

Anti-Bark Dog Collars

These Anti-Bark collars give a simple, safe, static shock to a dog if it is continually barking. After one or two barks the dog will hear an audible ‘beep' and after a further bark it will receive a safe shock. Continued barking will result in more shocks. The collar is an excellent tool to effectively train a dog to stop barking continuously. The collars are available in various models.
