Model GSS-4S* Simple Impact Sensor

Application

  • Monitoring of the impact destruction of vending machines and game consoles
  • Intrusion detection sensor of the house
  • Anti-theft of a motor vehicle
  • Security of shop windows
  • Detection of vibration to industrial equipment

Features

  • The impact pickup is not attached using adhesive material but is held on both sides by an elastic structure.
    Therefore, the frequency characteristics have been greatly improved compared to similar products from competitors.
  • Perfect to monitor hits and damage to game machines, vending machines, etc.
  • Outputs only the impact voltage to adapt to a wide range of applications.
  • Outputs a voltage proportional to the impact value.

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Usage Precautions

  1. Install the sensor so that the impact comes perpendicular to the case surface.
  2. Do not use the sensor when stress is applied on the connected part, or when the cable is subject to impacts and oscillates.
    Otherwise, the cable may break or the sensor may malfunction.
    Secure the cable connected part so that it does not oscillate and no stress is applied on it.
  3. The pickup may break if strong impacts are applied to the sensor. Be careful when manipulating the sensor.
  4. If the sensor is subject to thermal shocks, its detection sensitivity will vary as long as it is subject to the sudden temperature change. Check the environment before using the sensor.
  5. When connecting the sensor output to an amplifier, make the input impedance 20 MΩ or more.
    Never apply direct current in this case.
  6. The output voltage may vary slightly if the cable length is modified. Check the voltage before using the sensor.
  7. Always use plain washers to tighten the case and use a torque of 1.2 N.m or less.
  8. See Impact sensors general usage precautions for other precautions.
