Abstract: The system incorporates wire deflection, taut wire detection for perimeter security applications. Generally, the system of the invention provides intrusion detection by an internal mechanism. The internal mechanism can detect wire deflection in any direction. In turn, given a sufficient amount of wire deflection, a security system is signaled. However, the force required to sufficiently deflect the wires is high enough so as to minimize nuisance alarms. The internal mechanism is generally held within a structure so that it is protected from tampering. As such, the internal mechanism is also kept separate from the wire array so that it is protected from attempts by an intruder to isolate the wire array.

Abstract: Electric fence energizers used with fencing systems are provided. The energizers can be used to provide an unsafe electric shock, as defined by safety agencies such as UL, where the electric fence energizers are capable of operating continuously regardless of the fence load. Alternately, the energizers can be equipped so as to be selectively set in one of a plurality of modes of operation, for example, “unsafe mode”, “lethal mode”, and “safe mode”.
