Stafix Electric Fence Systems
Stafix is the world’s most advanced intelligent Electric Fence technology
engineered by Tru-Test Limited. Tru-Test Limited is a New Zealand business
established over 40 years ago. Tru-Test has established itself as industry
leader in the perimeter security market through investment in research and
development and innovation. Such proactive approach was adopted in response to
customer activities with intelligent electric fencing in New Zealand. Australia,
South Africa and South America where the Stafix brand is the undisputed leaded.
The Tru-Test approach to the control equipment has been to design a
simple system with both high output power (4 joules) and high fence line voltage
(up to 12,000 volts) with many programming options to tailor the system to the
various global conditions and requirements. This is done through simple
user-friendly keypad commands.

Product Information
Energiser Monitor
UnitsEnergiser Monitor Units (EMU) is a new generation product with
the power and intelligence sought by the international security industry.
Solar, mains or Battery Power Supply
![]()
The EMU internal energy source
can either be battery & mains power, or battery & solar power. It means
the EMU can be used on the most remote sites, and with low power consumption and
a large internal reserve the system will continue to operate through lengthy
power interruptions or with no commercial power available at all.
Intelligent Key Pad
With a smart intelligent keypad, one
can easily access the user friendly software. The fault diagnostics feature is
one of the most unique programme one can easily use through this intelligent
keypad from a large number of other pre set programme options. Simple code
inputs can change pins, delay times, fence voltages etc. to suit end user
circumstances.
Stafix Fence Compass- Directional Fault Finder and Digital Voltmeter
Directional
Arrows: Easy to see which way the current is flowing.
- Simultaneous voltage and current reading: No need to change modes, all the
information
that you need is right in front of you.
- Audible Current Indicator: Indicates current readings without even needing
to look at the
screen.
- Low battery Indicator: Gives plenty of advance warning that the battery
needs replacing.
- Secure Wire Guide: Reduced chance of shock to the user. Positive location
gives more
accurate and steady current readings.
- Easy to see in all light conditions, even in the dark.
- Can be used in all weather. Is made to withstand the agricultural
environment.
- Keeps it close at hand for easy use.

available battery that is easily replaced by the user.
Unique Features
![]()
Stafix Electric Fence Systems are widely regarded as the
most advanced Intelligent Fencing technology available worldwide. Tru-Test is
the world’s largest manufacturer of Electric Fence energizers and accessories.
This market leadership has been achieved through various unique features, some
of which are listed below:
- Energizer Monitor Units are easily combined with the addition of URM to
extra alarm monitors, communication devices (including GSM, PSTN and IP),
Central Monitoring . Stations, Video Surveillance, Gate Access Control and
Solar Units.
Wireless remote
control Fence Compass unit has an unique feature to turn power on or
off
from anywhere on the fence line.
- Ability to power down itself after the alarm has been raised thus making
it perfectly safe.
- After breach of security has occurred, it has an unique feature to auto
dial a set of pre-
programmed pone numbers.
- Ability to vary voltage at touch of a button for specific requirements.
- Very low maintenance as it has no moving parts.
- Versatility from wall top options to stand alone fences.
- The most reliable form of Intelligent Fencing for short distance fences as
well as long distance fences e.g.: 640 kilometers long fence in Africa with 84
EMU’s, 590 Kilometers of Electric Fence at Kruger National Park, South Africa
using M36’s etc.
- In the event of power failure the back up batter keeps the system
operational up to 48
hours.
- Fault diagnosis through the intelligent key pad.
- Ability to segregate perimeter into multiple sectors for ease and accuracy
to identify the
location of security breach.
Security Fence Wiring
![]()
The wiring system used for security fencing is
known as the ‘earth return’ method and consists of a varying number of alternate
positive (live) and negative (earth) wires. It has three major
advantages:
Deterrent Effect
An intruder will receive an uncomfortable shock either
by touching a live wire and earthing to ground or by making simultaneous contact
with an earth wire and a live
![]()
wire. To achieve
this deterrent effect it is preferable to have 6500 to 8000 V with 1.5 to 3J
energy on the fence line.
Detection Capability
The system will generate an alarm signal when an
earth and a live wire make contact and ‘short’ the system, or if the circuit is
broken by cutting any of the wires.
Reliability
Electric Security Fencing Technology is inherently tolerant
of environmental conditions and is made more so with Dynamic Voltage Monitoring.
With this feature the fence detection focus is on sudden, abrupt changes in
voltage, allowing the system to ignore seasonal changes caused by vegetation
growth or weather changes.
