Here are also the answers to some of the questions we are often asked... What does the Operator have to do to silence the alarm? Put the pin in! Can the Operator disable the alarm? No – it can only be stopped by inserting the safety pin! Pulling the main fuse to stop the alarm will also stop the machine. The driver has no access to the unit fuse. Disconnecting or breaking the wires to the sensor will also activate the system. Does the system have any driver-operated controls or switches? No. The system simply requires the driver to insert the safety pin which in turn activates20the sensor indicating safe mode of operation. How does the sensor react to mud, concrete, water etc? It is unaffected by the above. It is extremely robust with a rating of IP69K. This is further enhanced by the protective bracket on which it is mounted. It is a non-contact sensor with no moving parts and has high shock and vibration immunity. What about “make-do” pins? The sensor has a specific sensing range that we use to our advantage by mounting the bracket in such a way that under-sized “make-do” pins won’t be detected or only detected intermittently thus activating the alarms. What about lost pins? There is a strong motivation not to lose safety pins in the first place as the driver is the one who has to listen to the alarm if the pin is lost. In our trials no pins have gone missing! What if the sensor gets damaged? In the very unlikely event of damage the alarm system will activate. The sensor assembly is easily replaced and the system will continue functioning. To date we have had no sensor failures. What if the hitch has more than one safety pin hole? We have developed a twin-safety pin for use with such configurations. This means that the system still only requires one sensor that can cover up to three holes. We shall be happy to answer any further questions you may have regarding the system. Quick Switch UK Limited |
