Implementation and Operational Excellence Guide for The Electric Guard Dog™ Fence

The growing threat of physical security vulnerabilities demands robust, layered perimeter protection that goes beyond individual measures. AMAROK provides proven multi-layered security through over 40 years of crime prevention expertise, with The Electric Guard Dog Fence as the foundation.

This comprehensive operational guide provides actionable implementation strategies, maintenance protocols, and optimization techniques to maximize your security investment.

Understanding The Electric Guard Dog™ Fence

The Electric Guard Dog Fence represents the pinnacle of electric fence technology, preventing 99% of external theft for customers after installation. It operates through three integrated layers of protection that work together to create an impenetrable barrier against criminal intrusion.

Physical Layer
The physical layer features an imposing 10-foot-tall structure with 20 electrified wires and prominent warning signs that serve as powerful visual deterrents.
24/7 Monitoring
When would-be intruders approach, the fence sends a safe but memorable 7,000-volt-pulsed shock. The alarm layer ensures 24/7 monitoring with immediate response capabilities and industry-leading low false alarm rates.
Prevents Breaches
AMAROK has earned three times the industry loyalty rate and selection by top supply chain leaders because this approach addresses fundamental security gaps. Unlike cameras that merely record crimes after they occur or security guards who patrol a limited area, The Electric Guard Dog Fence actively prevents breaches before criminals access your property.

How to Prepare for The Electric Guard Dog Fence Installation

Successful electric fence implementation begins with comprehensive site preparation and strategic planning. Follow this pre-installation checklist:

Confirm property lines match survey documentation
Verify terrain conditions remain consistent with initial assessments
Document any building position changes or site modifications since the original survey
Notify AMAROK of issues or changes immediately
Designate a primary contact for installation coordination
Establish communication protocols for the installation period
Communicate any scheduling restrictions
Schedule any necessary operational adjustments during installation
Ensure no materials or assets are near the fence line
Grant technicians access to installation areas

This preparation minimizes the risk of installation delays and ensures technicians can work efficiently.

What to Know About Our Implementation Process

The Electric Guard Dog Fence has multiple operational control options that provide maximum flexibility for daily operations, including remote app, keypad, scheduled arming, and gate auto-arming. It also meets stringent International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) certification standards for safety, including protection for individuals with medical devices.

Here are the essential components to electric fence implementation:

Vegetation Control

Overgrown vegetation causes low-voltage conditions that compromise security. AMAROK offers initial and ongoing vegetation control services, including clearing up to three feet of vegetation, debris removal, or herbicide application.

Compliance Management

While 75% of municipalities have no special electric fence installation regulations, AMAROK’s dedicated government relations and compliance team manages the permitting process for all locations. This specialized expertise eliminates delays and ensures your installation meets every local ordinance requirement.

Installation

Installation typically requires one to two weeks following permit approval, with timing dependent on weather conditions and site readiness factors. AMAROK technicians install The Electric Guard Dog Fence inside your existing perimeter barrier, maintaining the 8- to 10-inch separation required by IEC standards. The solar-powered system includes 20 electrified wires, fiberglass poles for wire tension, and prominent warning signs providing visual deterrence.

Keeping Your Electric Fence Operational

The AMAROK security-as-a-service model revolutionizes perimeter protection accessibility. With no upfront capital investment required, you can access enterprise-grade security through manageable monthly subscriptions that include all services, monitoring, and medical liability coverage.

Maintaining peak electric fence operation requires systematic attention to multiple system components. Follow these essential protocols to ensure continuous protection:

Routine Maintenance

Walk the perimeter daily, inspecting for debris accumulation, loose wires, or visible damage. Listen for arcing or snapping sounds indicating electrical faults that require immediate attention. If you encounter an object touching the fence line (especially metal), do not remove it with your hands! Use a nonconductive material like wood to remove it.

Troubleshooting

Use the AMAROK Digital Voltage Meter (DVM) to check system voltage and locate electrical shorts. Use your key to bypass protection zones and check each section of the fence. If you’re unsure or need confirmation, contact support at (800) 401-5560 for step-by-step instructions on troubleshooting issues and bypassing security zones.

Minor Repairs

The customer care kit enables rapid resolution of minor issues. Tighten loose wires before tension problems escalate, splice broken connections using provided materials, replace worn springs affecting wire tension, and reconnect jumper wires disconnected during severe weather.

Alarm Testing

Test system functionality regularly, especially before holidays or extended closures. Contact Security Central at 888-684-2684 to put your site in test mode and arm the system. Turn the knob on the cutoff switch to the OFF position, allow the alarm to remain active for at least 60 seconds, and then turn it off. Wait a few moments and then call Security Central, provide your site information with your passcode, and request that they verify they have received an alarm signal for each zone tested.

Vegetation Management

Every week, check for at least 3 feet of clearance between the fence and any vehicles or materials to avoid triggering false alarms. Vegetation overgrowth is the number one cause of low-voltage issues with The Electric Guard Dog Fence. Contact your AMAROK representative for ongoing vegetation control services to ensure your electric fence remains functional.

Service and Support

AMAROK’s nationwide technician network provides rapid response for issues beyond routine maintenance. The monthly subscription includes unlimited service calls, ensuring minimal downtime when problems arise. Technical specialists remain available 24/7/365 for emergency support.

Technological Upgrades

The security-as-a-service model eliminates obsolescence concerns through automatic technology updates. When components reach end-of-life or superior technology becomes available, AMAROK provides replacements at no additional cost, ensuring your security remains current.

Integration

FORTIFEYE ™ multiplies protection effectiveness by combining the electric fence with video surveillance and intelligent monitoring. This unified approach enables dual verification of threats while alarm-based perimeter lighting floods areas with illumination when fence alarms activate.
