Loss Mitigation: PreventionHow Deflection Monitoring Works

SENDER RECEIVERTARGETS

Deflection Monitoring pinpoints areas where deflection exceeds predetermined tolerances, resulting in an alarm condition whereby personnel are notified that action must be taken to avoid a more serious potential outcome. Lasers and targets monitor deflection. Alarm panels capture events and communicate when action is recommended.

“There is absolutely no question in my mind that the DMD-1000 provided our manager with the needed information in two instances to go and rectify the problem before it became catastrophic. There would have been over $1 million in damage not including the fact that the cinema would have been closed for 8 to 10 weeks.”
