Description
ShockWatch® 2 impact indicators are single-use, go/no-go devices that determine if fragile products have been dropped during transit or in storage. The indicators are field-armable, tamperproof devices that turn bright red when an impact beyond a specific threshold has occurred.
Each ShockWatch® 2 has a unique identifier to support traceability.
ShockWatch® 2 is a patented product, covered by US Patent No. 8,234,994 and No. 9,423,312
Simply stick this single-use indicator on the package or the component before it’s shipped. If it’s red upon delivery, the package experienced an impact beyond its accepted threshold. Maybe it was dropped or came loose during shipping. Maybe other cargo fell on it. Maybe train coupling or airplane landings were especially forceful. Whatever the reason, a quick glance clearly signals something happened in transit that may have damaged the item.

Instructions
1) Mount the ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicator in the lower third of the package/pallet as close to the edge as possible. Avoid the center of the package because the mounting locations should be structurally sound.
2) If the package is twice as long as it is wide, use two ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicators. Place a second indicator in the same position
on the opposite side of the package
3) Place the Alert Sticker on your bill of lading as a reminder to receivers to check the ShockWatch 2 indicator
immediately upon arrival
