AS3129 is the Australian Standard for the design, construction and operation of Electric Fence energisers.
AS3016 is the Australian Standard for the installation of Electric Security Fence systems. This standard sets the safety and installation criteria to which each install must meet.

The maximum energy that can be produced by the security system energiser is limited by design to a maximum of five joules into a load of 500 ohms. The energiser is designed and required to comply with this output even under abnormal operating conditions such as component failure. The overall system is governed by AS3129 & AS3016 with due consideration given to the duty of care associated with such systems. This includes clearances, numbers of wires, the use of warning signs etc. The energiser is designed to be fail safe. The system is constructed with due consideration for duty of care. Warning signs are applied at appropriate intervals.

Yes all Eletric Fence security Controller models have independently tested energisers and are issued certificates of compliance.

All Electric Fence installations are audited by Nemtek Engineers and tested for their compliance to the relevant Australian Standards. Each installation must also abide by the Nemtek Code of Practice

In accordance with the Nemtek Security Code of Practice and Minimum Quality Standards, all systems are designed and installed to minimise the risk of accidental contact.
The impulses are regulated safe for the entire population, in accordance with AS3129.

As responsible manufacturers and distributors of Electric Fence systems, Nemtek have a policy of only making the systems available from Accredited Dealers.



The Nemtek standards meet and exceed the requirements of all National and International standards regarding safety and the application of Electric Fence systems.

Nemtek inspects all installations and providing compliant issue a certificate of compliance for each installation

Yes the system is legal because the system design, components and installation comply with the requirements of AS3129 & AS3016. In addition because the system is only available from Accredited Dealers, who exercise "Duty of care" when considering the design, installation and maintenance of Electric Fence systems, in accordance with Nemtek Code of Practice and Minimum Quality Standards.

Nemtek recommend three routine maintenance inspections per year to ensure optimum system performance and reliability.

Any one who touches the Electric Fence when the system is armed is repelled by a short, sharp, painful, but regulated safe electric shock. Only if someone attacks, tries to climb through or tampers with the Electric Fence system, are alarms generated.

False alarms are virtually unheard of, because of the system quality and proven design. Unique patented electronics and system components. Designed, installed and maintained by trained Accredited Dealers.   Nemtek's Code of Practice, Minimum Quality Standards, system inspection and Certification procedures.

All Electric Fence systems have standby power supplies. In the event of mains failure rechargeable batteries power the system for a minimum of 4 hours. If a longer period is required the size of the standby power supplies can be increased.

A standard Electric Fence system consumes less than 40 watts fully armed. This is comparable with a small light bulb.

Yes the Electric Fence in it's standard form can be installed as a Stand alone system or directly interfaced with any other type of intruder alarm, access control or integrated security system. This is for all functions including arming, disarming, alarm monitoring and signalling.

Yes, all forms of security opening, sliding and power gates can be fully protected with the Electric Fence system.

Yes, Nemtek have a fully monitored HV/LV system for the protection of storage yards, car parks and sites such as garden centres and factories, where authorised people can be exposed to the Electric Fence system without the risk of the high voltage feature. During the day time the system is fully monitored using a unique LV system. When the premises are vacated the can be armed with the additional feature of the high voltage deterrent.

Yes, the system has a minimum of 1 zone and an endless maximum for alarm management and monitoring purposes. These zones can be configured to meet with the exact site requirements, ie; programmable delayed zones for exit entry routes, gates etc and instant zones for standard perimeter protection.

On a standard Electric Fence system, each zone can be up to 500 metres long.

Yes, the Electric Fence alarm and zone alarm outputs can be used to trigger or operate all forms of alarm monitoring, annunciation or signalling systems.

Nemtek have held discussions with Policing Departments and Crime Prevention Officers throughout the worlds. Many of the Electric Fence installations are used in High security installations including prisons.

Yes, most major insurance companies accept the installation of the Electric Fence system and some are now specifying Electric Fences for the protection of appropriate sites. As a direct result of Electric Fence stopping crime and losses on various sites, some site owners have been able to obtain insurance on previously uninsurable or uneconomic risks.

Nemtek have extended their Accredited Dealer base throughout Australia
