Shockwatch Labels
Using this selection guide:
This selection guide and sensor activation table should always be used as starting point. Packaging design and construction may affect the correlation between drop height and ShockWatch activation.
This guide is for reference only. We recommend that you speak to a ShockWatch representative before placing an order.
Two things you need to know to select a ShockWatch sensitivity:

MAG 2000 Selection Guide
Two things must be known to select the appropriate indicator:
1. Weight of the shipment
2. Fragility of the shipment--rugged(low), average, or fragile (high)
With these two pieces of information, use the Selection Guide to select the MAG 2000 / MAG 2000
Date/Timer value. For example, a 9,000 kgs. crate that is of average fragility will need a range of MAG devices approx. from 3-8 G.
To monitor all planes MAG2000 devices need to be placed on adjacent sides on the shipment

Low Fragility Zone — Applicable in situations in which both visible and hidden damage is possible, and a single extreme impact will cause damage to product. Pertains to products transported via a variety of modes.
Average Fragility Zone — Applicable in situations in which there is a moderate degree of stability and survivability built into the product, and in which a standard mode of transportation is used.
High Fragility Zone — Applicable in situations in which hidden damage is the key concern. Typically, these products will be constructed of low tolerance components such as data storage drives, optical lenses, or any other products that require precise alignment. Pertains to most products that require specialized modes of transportation, such as air-ride vans or extended travel in hydro-cushion railcars. |
