Selection Criteria

To select the proper activation levels, determine if shock damage boundary data has been established for the product to be monitored.

Activation graphs are available for the Flex to help match the damage characteristics of your product.

Depending on packaging and product fragility, it may be necessary to adjust the sensitivity up or down.

Product Selection

The ShockWatch Flex is available in single tube configurations.

■ Double tube configurations will be available soon

The single tube configuration provides nearly 360° of detection of impact. The double tube configuration, however, will provide a full 360° detection to monitor drops from all angles.

ShockWatch can help you set up a damage reduction program tailored to your unique circumstances.

Monitoring ProgramThe ShockWatch Flex can be used in conjunction with a ShockWatch Label program. ShockWatch

Labels are used to monitor packages during shipments. The Flex and Label can be used together

to monitor for mishandling of the product (Flex) and of the package (Label).

When used in conjunction with companion labels, alert stickers, caution tape, posters, and

communication tools, ShockWatch indicators become a highly effective damage reduction and

prevention program.

To aid in communication with program participants, ShockWatch provides customized letters for

your carriers and customers. These letters describe the ShockWatch program and detail the steps

to follow in the event a shipment is received with an activated label.

Posters are available for the sending and

receiving docks. These posters are

another reminder of the ShockWatch

program details.

Alert tape and ShockWatch companion

labels are additional tools that increase

the visibility of the handling requirements

of your package.

Mounting Instructions

Remove the adhesive backing from the Flex and mount on a rigid area of the product, as close to the product’s center of mass as possible.

When mounting the Flex on a curved or irregular surface, do not attempt to bend the device along its longitudinal axis.
