Gate Alarm
The unit can monitor the gate used to access the area secured by the electric fence. If the gate is
opened while the system is armed, an alarm will be triggered (subject to the optional exit/entry
delays described below).
Exit/entry delays
The unit can be set with a range of exit/entry delay times. This allows a person arming or disarming
the unit sufficient time to exit or enter the secured area through the gate, before the alarm is
triggered. If required, ask your installer to set the delay times.
Note: The electric fence is energized from the moment the system is armed.
Gate alarm
While the unit is armed (and any exit/entry delay has expired), the alarm will be triggered when the
gate is opened.
Gate chime
The user can be alerted to the gate opening while the system is disarmed, via a gate chime. The
chime is a two-tone beep from the Keypad and Keyswitch (where fitted). If the gate has been left
open, after a short period has elapsed (half of the exit delay time), the chime will sound once every
10 seconds as a warning.
Tamper alarm
If someone tampers with the wiring to the gate break-switch, gate override switch, Keypad,
Keyswitch, or the Energizer Monitor Unit, the system alarm will be triggered and the Armed lamp
will flash fast to warn that the system has been tampered with.
When a tamper alarm is triggered, the unit will log a fault code, and indicate this by flashing the
Power lamp (even after the alarm has been silenced). For information on how to display and clear
this fault code, see Troubleshooting on page 13.
Silencing a tamper alarm
A tamper alarm cannot be silenced until the tampered wiring has been located and repaired. You
must rectify the cause of the tamper alarm. Once the cause of the alarm has been fixed, it can be
silenced like any other system alarm. For details, refer to Alarm Response

on page 8.
Note: Check with your installer to see which tamper detection features have been enabled in your
system.
