Keep Your Perimeter Monitored During Power Cuts with our Perimeter Alarm Light System
The perimeter alarm light system is powered by a 2.0Amp Nemtek Power Pack with a 7Ah battery for backup during power outages and could help detect and deter intruders from attacking the fence line even when the power is out.
Our alarm light system can be installed onto most of Nemtek’s electric fencing brackets and posts. To illuminate the area and ensure uniform coverage, the lights are installed at 6m to 9m intervals along the electric fence line. When the electric fence energizer alarms, the perimeter alarm light system will illuminate the triggered zone for easy detection. The alarm light system can also be triggered manually using a remote control at any time. The lights are LED, consume turn on instantly. They also face downward, reducing light pollution.
Features:
- A single power pack can power up to 20 sets of lights (40 in total)
- Lights are installed at 6m to 9m intervals along the fence line with 200m coverage on a power pack
- Lights are downward facing
- Lights are LED so no warm-up time is required
- Lights can be triggered in three ways:
- Energizer alarm trigger
- Remote on and off
- Day/night switch
- Wet/dry contacts are configurable on the power-supply trigger module
- Low-voltage cabling is run along the fence line to provide power to the lights

Practical skills are of immense value and if you want to add a one to your CV and skillset, then electric fence training might be for you. Continue reading to find out how our electric fence training courses work and why you should consider Nemtek Academy.
How Does Nemtek Academy’s Electric Fence Training Work?
Nemtek Academy offers several courses (presented as tiered modules) that you can undertake to learn more about topics including planning a fence, safety measures, energizers, animal control, and network maintenance. It works like any other training facility in that you will have to sign up and attend classes, whether it’s in-person in a classroom or online (either through self-study or virtual classrooms). We will be there to assist you every step of the way.
There are five different modules you can sign up for (which you can view by clicking here), each with its own focus, learning outcomes, assessments and certifications. These modules range from basic installation practices to the accredited Module 5, that upon successful completion, will allow you to register with the Department of Labour in order to be able to issue a Certificate of Compliance (COC), with the latter being a requirement that is mandated by the South African Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993. These modules are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you will need for safe and efficient electric fence installation, animal management and faultfinding.
If you have decided to sign up for one or more of our courses, you also need to be aware that each module has its own requirements that need to be met before you sign up for that module. The basic requirement shared among all modules is that you need to be able to read and write, and the more advanced modules also require that you complete all the previous modules in the series before you can sign up for them. The final module, which covers the COC, requires at least 2 years practical experience in electrical fence installations and the passing of a pre-assessment test. You can read more about the prerequisites for individual courses by clicking here.

It’s Time To Upgrade Your Existing Electric Fence Hardware
Crime does not sleep. It also does not respect private property. We can however take steps to either make it more difficult or to discourage such invasions of property in the first place. There are many ways in which this can be done, but a common (and cost effective) method in South Africa is the use of an electric security fence. It adds an additional layer of security to your property, keeping unwanted guests out and helping you feel safer. This article will examine the use of this kind of hardware technology in protecting your property.
Adding another layer of security
The electric fence is a simple, yet effective, piece of hardware that can enhance the physical security of most properties. In most cases, only a single barrier, like a brick wall, stands between the outside world and your property, making entry relatively easy. With an electric security fence and the right kind of hardware installed, this barrier effectiveness can be improved. Electrified fences are thus a great cost-effective solution for people who want to protect their property.
Like any barrier, electrified fencing works as a deterrent by discouraging people (and animals) from attempting to cross it or to break through, and thus serves as both a physical and a psychological barrier. It is a physical barrier in that it creates an obstacle with direct physical feedback (a non-lethal electric shock) and it serves as a psychological barrier in the sense that people and animals associate it with danger and thus become discouraged to attempt to circumvent it.
Get Your Electric Fence Hardware From Nemtek
Criminals find new ways to bypass electric fence hardware all the time, but we are also constantly learning how to counter the techniques they use. These techniques can range from basic mechanical adjustments like ensuring the wiring has enough tension and the energisers are functioning appropriately, to more advanced changes like adding our Dual Action Tension Sensors (DATS) to a new or existing fence. These sensors can be retrofitted onto most electric security fences to prevent intruders from pushing down on your fence or attempting to separate the wires. Nemtek can advise you on any adjustments that need to be made, so give us a call.

Everything you need to know about Energizers for Electric Fences
What is an energizer and how does it work?
An energizer for an electric fence (security or animal management) is used to convert battery or mains power into electrical current pulses which are sent down the fence. The energizer sends out pulses instead of a continuous current to eliminate the risk of dangerous shocks that could be received and allows the animal or person to step away/let go of the electric fence. Nemtek security energizers have the functionality to monitor the fence wires and can alert you, in the form of an alarm, if anything changes in the condition of the electric fence.
The fence circuit remains closed and the pulses flow through the fence until one of two events happen: there is an open circuit or a short circuit. An open circuit happens when a live wire is cut and the current is disrupted which sends the energizer into alarm. A short circuit can occur when either a person or animal touches a live wire and completes the circuit by the current flowing through them into the ground and earth spike, or when an earth and live wire touch when someone is trying to climb over the fence. This will also send the energizer into alarm. Without an energizer, an electric fence is just a couple of wires or a passive barrier.
Things to consider when selecting an energizer:
- Which industry are you addressing?
This will determine what type of energizer you will use. For example, a residential fence may require one zone of 150m whereas a high-security fence may require multiple smaller zones for patrolling.
- How many zones do you require?
This depends on the length of the fence and the zone lengths required.
- How the information is displayed.
- On the energizer LED
- On the energizer LCD
- On a keypad
- On a touchpad display, generally used with multi-zone systems
- On a PC in a control room, large systems
- Joule rating of the energizer
The higher the joule rating, the higher the energy that an energizer can deliver into a load.
The Nemtek difference 
Nemtek designs, manufactures and distributes a complete range of innovative and intelligent electronic perimeter control systems that are easy to install and use. We supply both the security and animal management industries with high-quality products, which have been thoroughly tested in a competitive market. We are so confident in our range that they come with a two-year warranty.
Using the Adaptive Power Technology (APT) pioneered by Nemtek, our energizers are capable of detecting how much power a fence can accept and handle before it starts to arc and waste energy. This maximises the power on the fence and minimises false alarms.
We specialise in the research, development and manufacture of electric fence energizers and related products. This includes medium- to high-powered units. Full SABS and IEC reports are available on request.
