ShockLog expanded with tilt and roll monitoring
Companies are not just able to monitor impact and vibration but also tilt and sway, so giving a complete picture of the physical environment that the product has endured through transit or in storage
This new feature provides irrefutable evidence of an impact by recording the exact date and time the impact occurred.
The Mag 2000 utilises two highly sensitive magnets that are triggered when a shock or vibration is strong enough to disrupt the magnetic attraction.
This causes the upper magnet to move from its home position and appear in a new visible position within the unit.
The position of the upper magnet clearly indicates the angle of impact.
A special key is supplied to unlock the cover on the unit.
This allows the product to be reset after activation, and prevents tampering.
The activation point is factory set, with ten standard activation values; 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 10G, 11G, 16G, and 20G.
The new time and date stamp feature provides clear information about when the impact occurred, so accountability for any damage can be readily determined.
Existing Mag 2000 Impact Indicators can be easily retrofitted with a new lid that houses the date and time stamping feature which is offered as an add-on product enhancement. Request a free brochure from Lamerholm Electronics ...
