 Now available with a date and time stamping feature Latest impact indicator from Lamerholm
November 8th 2006 Lamerholm Electronics' Mag 2000 impact indicator is now available with a date and time stamping feature. This cost-efficient, re-settable, re-usable and tamper-proof device monitors the handling of fragile goods and freight containers over 180kgs. When an impact occurs, the device records the direction and angle of impact. The 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 10 standard activation values; 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 10G, 11G, 16G, and 20G.
The 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.
