Shockwatch® Mag 2000
Monitor your large shipments and vehicles with the most reliable, low cost shock indicator on the market
|
|
 |
The Shockwatch® MAG 2000 is a low cost impact monitoring instrument specifically designed to indicate excessive shock to larger shipments such as crated machinery, production equipment, electronics, printing presses, X ray machinery, or sea containers, rail cars, and trucks. In addition, the MAG 2000 has monitoring applications on carts or products moving through a manufacturing process.
Accurate, easy-to-interpret and resettable, yet tamperproof, the MAG 2000 is used in a variety of applications to monitor carrier performance, alter in-transit handling and serve to pinpoint damage incidents. By providing quality assurance from your facility to your customers dock, the MAG 2000 offers an otherwise missing level of control in today’s hostile transport environments. | |

The MAG 2000 utilizes two highly sensitive magnets triggered when acceleration due to shock or vibration is strong enough to disrupt the magnetic attraction. This results in the upper magnet moving from its “home” position and appears in a new visible position within the unit. By the position of the upper magnet, you can determine the angle of impact.
The activation point is factory set, with a number of G levels available from .5 to 25 G. Selection guides are available to convert G levels to drop heights or to a M.P.H. correlation for vehicle applications.
A special key is supplied that unlocks the cover on the unit. This allows the MAG 2000 to be reset after each activation and aids in preventing tampering. After opening, the upper magnet is then adjusted to its home position, and the top is replaced and locked. |

| REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS WITH REAL RESULTS | Companies all over the world are using the MAG 2000 to reduce damage levels on their products and equipment. Use the MAG 2000 to monitor:
Shipments – Control and implement zero defect shipping programs by preventing mishandling. Determine when and to what extent your products were dropped or mishandled. Protect against warranty abuse.
Transportation Modes – Monitor impact levels in humping yards and loading docks. Analyze specific routes. Pinpoint problem carriers.
Overall the MAG 2000 helps build and maintain good carrier and customer relationships by increasing the out-of-box satisfaction level of your customers. It makes a quality statement about your products, as well as your company.
• Low Cost – just a few dollars per shipment/vehicle. The MAG unit is resettable, and therefore, in closed loop transportation, reusable
• Easy to Understand – activation is immediate and definitive, needing no interpretation by specially trained personnel
• Patented Rugged Design – built to withstand extremes in the roughest of environments
• Tamper Proof – a unique key is needed to unlock each unit
• Ease of Installation – peel the aggressive adhesive backing and apply. The MAG 2000 can also be secured onto the surface with screws, or mounted using a special bracket
|
Simply attach the MAG 2000 to your shipment of electronics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or anything breakable, and you have taken control of your shipment. From that point the MAG 2000 will detect any impacts, above the G level you select.
Designed for a wide variety of installations, the MAG 2000 may be applied on anything from a wooden container or large pallet to the product itself.
Products may include:
• Medical and Laboratory Equipment
• Electronics
• Production Robotics
• Printing Equipment
• Refrigeration Equipment
• Main Frame Computers
• Weaponry Systems
• Furniture and Museum Pieces
The durability of the MAG 2000 allows for internal or external use, which also makes it ideal for use on vehicles such as trucks, rail cars, or aircraft. |

In today’s shipping environments, your cargo may be handled many different times and by many different modes of transportation. And although damage in transit can vary depending on the shipping method, packaging and weight of load, there are accepted proper handling standards.
For example, transporting products on railcars from 1 to 6 m.p.h. is considered a safe speed. Anything over that is considered rough handling. High impacts are almost certain to produce load shifts, burst dunnage bags and cause a variety of other damage problems; dents in sheet metal, crushed cores in paper rolls, compression of canned products and burst seals in tank cars |
|
|
The MAG 2000 program, when used on rail cars, aircraft, and trucks, can hand an element of control back to you.
Full implementation of a MAG 2000 monitoring program can serve to reliably enforce safe standards on every product you ship without high cost |
|
| PART OF A COMPLETE DAMAGE REDUCTION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM |
|
The MAG 2000 is not just a product, but a program. The program acknowledges the fact that there are three parties involved in shipping products. As the shipper, you build relationships with both your carrier and consignee and all want 100% customer satisfaction. When concealed damage takes place, all parties suffer financial loss.
Many carriers will decline damage claims unless they are timely and documented correctly. The MAG 2000 program puts the responsibility back onto the carrier by educating the consignee. This education to everyone involved, from the claims department to top management, ensures a happier, more aware customer, and better handling on the part of the carrier.
Sales representatives are there to help you develop and manage your program. Shockwatch® New Zealand has also developed a number of tools to aid your communication efforts. In addition, companion labels are used to increase the visibility of the monitor on your shipment and ensure that your customers follow proper receiving procedures. Alert stickers are also included with your order for adhering to shipping documentation to let the carrier know that the shipment is being monitored by an impact device.
For rail cars, an optional placard, can be posted on the vehicle to alert engineers and personnel of the MAG 2000, and acts as an active reminder the cards are being monitored for impact.

| THE SHOCKWATCH® LABEL, EXTENDING CONTROL TO LIGHTER SHIPMENTS |
|
To cover the damage control spectrum. Shockwatch New Zealand® has developed the Shockwatch® label for lighter shipments. Shockwatch® is a tiny liquid filled glass tube housed in a self-adhesive label. If a carton with a Shockwatch® label is dropped or mishandled, Shockwatch® reacts instantly. The liquid in the tube changes from clear to bright red, providing indisputable evidence that excessive impact has occurred.
Once Shockwatch® is activated, it cannot be reset. Use the Shockwatch label on sensitive computer and electronic equipment, avionic instruments, medical equipment, works of art, or any other item that is breakable. |

| HOW TO SELECT THE SENSOR THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU | The MAG 2000, as an extension of the Shockwatch® label series, has a number of factors used to determine which sensor is appropriate for your application. The Shockwatch® label and MAG 2000 cover the shock spectrum from.5 to 150 G, with many custom sensitivities available upon special request. Contact a sales representative or request an evaluation test kit to determine which product and sensitivity is best for your application.
