Taut-Wire Fence Sensor (TWFS)

TM 5-6350-275-24&P

The signal processor distinguishes between climb-over and cut-through attempts with a single alarm output. An

audio capability option is available for listening to physical disturbances of the fence.

(c) Taut-Wire Fence Sensor (TWFS). The TWFS is an exterior, tensioned, barbed wire displacement sensing

sensor capable of detecting attempts by a fence climbing or wire cutting intruder. In application, multiple strands of

the wire and tensioning devices are attached to either vertical or Y configured outriggers attached to the fence. The

sensor alarms when a lateral force of 60 pounds or more is applied to any strand of the barbed wire or when any

strand is laterally deflected 6 inches or more.
