Impact & Environmental Recorders Prevent Damage to Fragile Goods
|
ShockWatch® Impact & Environmental Recorders continually monitor and report in real time the shock, vibration, and environmental conditions experienced by structures, facilities, and equipment during transit, storage, and operation. These products record direction, amplitude, and duration of impact force. Optional sensors record changes in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and tilt and roll. A GPS/ GPRS tracking module is available to pinpoint the location of mishandling or exposure to unfavorable conditions. The Shocklog recorders help deter, monitor, and minimise damage. |

ShockWatch Impact & Environmental Recorders
Monitor critical goods and equipment that need special care and handling in transport, storage, and use. Shock, vibrations, and unacceptable environmental conditions can cause costly damage. Identifying responsibility for these unacceptable conditions is the first step in preventing damage and downtime.
ShockWatch Impact & Environmental Recorders provide ongoing monitoring of the intensity and duration of shock and vibration to large stationary or moving equipment, structures, and products. Tri-axial piezo-electric accelerometer technology is used to record impact direction, amplitude, and duration. Optional sensors also record changes in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. |

eTrak™
The eTrak tracking module works with ShockLog 298 to deliver real-time event messages and prescheduled status updates, both via e-mail. The eTrak enables users to locate their product in transit with a Google map hyperlink and receive real-time reports on events including date, time, GPS coordinates and the number of events from the last reported period.
Messages are sent via the GPRS network to a user’s computer in email format, and the eTrakWindows-based software interprets the information received. Where a GPRS network is not available the eTrak system automatically reverts to SMS, sending an appropriate message to a network provider who forwards an email to the user.
The companion software stores messages in a searchable database for analysis and reporting. Solar-powered with battery backup, the module incorporates GPS and quad-band GSM / GPRS technologies. Reports include the date, time, and number of events since the last report, along with GPS coordinates and Google Maps hyperlinks for seamless viewing of message locations. |

Tilt & Roll Accelerometer
The Tilt & Roll Accelerometer extends the monitoring capability of ShockLog 298 to include tilt (front-to-back movement) and sway (left-to-right movement). The accelerometer uses an RS232 cable to connect directly into ShockLog 298 and utilises its own power supply and the ShockLog's memory to store tilt and sway data. To ensure maximum resolution, the data is recorded in quadrants and is displayed in a range of +/-90°. |

Remote Indicators
Remote Indicators allow users to collect impact and environmental data from areas that are not easily accessible and then view the current ShockLog status and any alarm conditions from a more convenient location. Remote Indicators are often selected when it is necessary to embed the ShockLog device into the product or package. |

Environmental Sensor: RD298HPT
The RD298HPT is a combined humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor for use with the ShockLog Impact Recorder. It enables these impact recording products to monitor an extended range of environmental factors and is fully supported by the ShockLog software. The HPT sensor unit is plug and play compatible with the ShockLog. |
