Patent ID: 7889075

Claim:
A sensor panel for use in a perimeter protection system, comprising: first and a second horizontal rails disposed in a fixed spaced relationship; a plurality of spaced vertical sensor wires tensioned between said first and second horizontal rails; a plurality of triggers, each individual trigger being associated with an individual one of said vertical sensor wires and operable to move from a static position to one of first and second opposing tripped positions upon movement of the wire, wherein the trigger is operable to move to the first tripped position upon the wire being cut and to the second tripped position upon the wire being pulled; a switch cooperating with the triggers, wherein movement of at least one trigger causes the switch to change the state of an electrical circuit, wherein the change in the state of the electrical circuit indicates movement of one of the wires associated with a potential intrusion, wherein at least two of said individual triggers are disposed proximate to a common actuator, wherein movement of one of said individual triggers moves said actuator and wherein said actuator is connected to said switch.
