Cost-Effective Damage Monitoring
The FTC SS stand alone impact detector is a budget entry damage monitoring system that can effectively control excess damage to valuable equipment and end product. This system has been designed to be extremely easy to use and very cost effective.
The system works by detecting impacts at various levels of severity, the system can be calibrated to monitor higher and lower level impacts.Once the FTC SS Stand Alone Impact Sensor detects an impact it will activate an audible and or visual alarm, thus alerting management that an impact has occurred. The vehicle can then be checked over to ensure that it is safe to operate.

Advanced Damage Control & Monitoring
Once management visit the vehicle to assess the amount of damage they can then take the appropriate action depending on the incident.
The manager will be issued with a unique RF remote controldevice that will disable the audible or and visual alerts, this will only be given to certified personnel. Each site can be issued with as many remote controls as necessary to control their fleet.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Impact Detector work?
The system detects impacts at different levels of severity and can be calibrated to monitor higher or lower impact levels. Once an impact is detected, the system triggers an alarm (either audible or visual), notifying management that an impact has occurred. This allows for quick inspection of the vehicle to ensure it is safe to operate.
What is the range of impacts that the system can detect?
The system can be calibrated to detect impacts at different levels of severity, making it flexible and adaptable to various operational environments. This allows for customized impact thresholds depending on the needs of the business.
How does the system notify management of an impact?
Once an impact is detected, the system can activate either an audible alarm, a flashing beacon, or both. These alerts help management identify that an impact has occurred, prompting an inspection of the vehicle for safety.
Can the system be reset or re-calibrated?
Yes, the system can be configured and recalibrated using internal dipswitches, allowing for easy customisation of sensitivity and response settings. This makes it adaptable to changing operational needs.
