A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PET FENCING

Frequently Asked Ques ons
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.

Frequently Asked Ques ons
6. Must an electrician install the system? Sloping Electric Pet Fences can keep:
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 Bunnies from burrowing
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? Buck from browsing
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, posi ve terminal of the energizer, through the animal, to the green, nega ve 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 condi ons and one is for dry ground condi ons. 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 sa sfactorily. Concrete driveways and paving will all have the same effect on the electric fence circuit as
dry ground and a live earth wire configura on 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.
Spring clip
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 Fig 2. Spring clips
giving more rods for increased fence length. spaced and fi ed
to glass fibre rod
Fig 1. Site to be fenced
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 under-
gate 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, star ng
from the energizer and tying off at the last clip in your circuit. In very dry condi ons, 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.

Step 6. Tensioning
The fence is flimsy, so simply tension the fence by pulling it ght by hand so that
the wires are parallel to the ground. The fence is inconspicuous and unobtrusive as
it is especially suited to gardens and func ons as a psychological rather than a
physical barrier.

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 effec ve 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.
Fault Finding
If the fence is not opera ng:
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 ba ery flat?
3. Check that the earth stake is s ll 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
vegeta on, or any bits of metal or other conductors which could 'leak' the power.

Training Tips
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
hos le.
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
a er that they'll soon learn to respect your warnings in future!

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.
NTP16
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.

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.
