Fence Break Alarm SECURITY/SAFETY Alarms 27-1-33 Sheep farmer Rod Ellis wanted an alarm that would immediately let him know if an electric fence line had been broken by cattle.
He made his own using a 120-decibel siren from a home burglar alarm system and an adjustable spring with a threaded bar that attaches to a short length of cord which in turn connects to an electric switch.
