Hi Xerxses,

 

Yes you can wire the tank, all you need to do is isolate it, sit it on rubber pads, old bit of conveyer belting or whatever.

 

Basically all you do is conect live to tank and earth to a brass or cooper rod driven into the ground. All that happens is when they touch the tank they complete the circuit.

 

I must stress however that mains voltage should not be used, it will fry whoever touches it. Only use a fence energiser, 10,000v but low amps, amps kill not voltage.

 

Gives you a nasty jolt though :biggerGrin::jumping38:

 

Will it make a big ball of fire as well? That would teach them!

electric shock :scared: Mega, why dont you use a cheap remote car alarm to arm the system, that way you dont have to touch the set up and risk an arm wrench?

 

 

Good idea, but I'm trying to keep the drain on the battery to a minimum, these new electric pulsers can do weeks on a single charge.

The drain on the battery should minimal as its not actually going to power anything, its just a remote switch.

 

I have a brand new car immobiliser with remotes kicking around somewhere, might dig it out and look at the wiring diagrm, should be a straight forward switch open switch closed for the immobiliser :icon14:

 

Can you just picture it, a remoted controlled electrified shipping container
