Overview
ShockWatch ShockSwitch is a tamperproof, mechanically activated impact monitoring device designed to detect and record dangerous shock events during transit, storage, and equipment handling. The device turns bright red when an impact beyond a specific threshold has occurred, providing visible, immediate evidence of potential mishandling.
Key Features
- Field-armable, tamperproof design that turns bright red when impact thresholds are exceeded
- Unique identifier on each unit to support traceability
- Detects impact events from 2Gs to 75Gs with durations between 0.5–50 ms
- Operates between -13°F and 176°F, suitable for cargo holds, containers, and extreme environments
- Single-use, go/no-go indicator provides clear pass/fail documentation for damage assessment
- Helps reduce damage-related costs in transportation and storage of fragile or temperature-sensitive goods
