7. Operation of the FenceAlarm
The Gallagher FenceAlarm provides you with details about the fencing
voltage measured in two directions. It also warns you if at any time the
fencing voltage falls below the minimum required level (for example, if
wild plants have caused a breakdown in the operation of the fencing). As
long as the situation has not been rectified, you will receive regular
reminder SMS messages.
The Gallagher FenceAlarm will send an alert immediately if the fencing
voltage disappears completely in either direction. For example, if the wires
are cut or disconnected in any way whatsoever.
The Gallagher FenceAlarm also measures the interval between 2 pulses,
and sends this interval measurement in the Status SMS message.
The Gallagher FenceAlarm will send a Status SMS message at an adjustable
interval (standard 1x per week) to keep you informed about the status and
operation of the fencing. This is the "Heartbeat SMS".
The FenceAlarm also has an internal timer which indicates if the power
pack of the energizer needs to be recharged. This timer can be configured
so you are sent an SMS message after a certain amount of time has
elapsed.
