Description

FORTIN DUAL ZONE SHOCK SENSOR (FSS)

The Fortin Dual Zone Shock Sensor (FSS) is a device used in vehicle security systems. It detects vibrations or impacts on a vehicle, which can help prevent theft or vandalism. The “dual zone” feature typically refers to the ability of the sensor to differentiate between minor disturbances (like someone tapping on the vehicle) and more significant impacts (like someone trying to break into it).

Here’s a quick overview of how it generally works:

1. Detection Zones: The sensor has two sensitivity zones. The first zone is usually set for lower sensitivity to detect minor disturbances. The second zone is more sensitive and detects more serious impacts.
2. Alarm Triggers: When the sensor detects an event, it can trigger an alarm or send a signal to the vehicle’s security system. The type of response can vary based on how the impact is categorized (e.g., a tap might trigger a warning, while a strong impact might trigger a full alarm).
3. Adjustability: Many shock sensors allow you to adjust the sensitivity of each zone. This helps to fine-tune the sensor’s responsiveness to avoid false alarms from things like passing traffic or nearby construction.
4. Installation: The sensor is typically installed on the vehicle’s chassis or other parts where it can effectively sense impacts or vibrations.
