GfactorGO - Wireless Playground Impact Tester with Hard Case
PN-GOFACTORGO-S
The GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester is a simple tool designed to test surfaces where playground equipment exist and children or athletes play. It is intended to be used to measure the impact attenuation of surfaces under and around playground equipment for safe playing surfaces. The 10.1 pound Impact Tester has a head shaped form and when dropped, wirelessly sends peak gMax, HIC (Head Impact Criteria), height of drop, angle of impact with a time and date stamp to the handheld control unit. Impact velocity and HIC Interval (Delta T) can also be shown. The Impact Hammer meets the dimensional requirements of: ASTM F1292 /ASTM F355 /En1177 / AS/NZS 4422 / ASTM F3313. |

In the GfactorGO's control unit, a memory card is used to store the results of up to 1,000 drop tests. This allows the user to copy the test results to the application/program (included) for report generation and archival purposes. Note: The application/program runs on a Windows compatible platform. Inside the GFactorGO's hemispherical head of the Impact Tester is a MEMS sensor (accelerometer). The accelerometer produces electrical signals proportional to the G value of the (head forms) impact with the surface being tested. The circuitry inside the head measures these voltages then calculates Peak G, HIC, Impact Angle and Impact Velocity and wirelessly transmits the results to the handheld display. |

Simply raise the drop hammer on the GfactorGO Wireless Playground Impact Tester above the surface to be tested |
Next, squeeze the handle to release hammer onto the surface being tested |
GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester will fall onto the surface and record the gMax, HIC (Head Impact Criteria), height of drop and angle of impact that also provides a time and date stamp |

Simply raise the drop hammer on the GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester Handheld Controller |
The GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester's Handheld Controller will display the drop number, the peak gMax value, the HIC (Head Impact Criteria), the drop height and the date and time |
Pressing GRAPH on the GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester's control unit will bring up the graph for the drop and display peak and HIC (Head Impact Criteria) |

When the GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester's memory card is inserted into a computer, the data is visible showing the data and a HIC (Head Impact Criteria) graph |
For Critical Fall Height (CFH) calculation, as per EN1177, four drop tests must be performed with the GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Tester, changing the drop height to result in increasing HIC values. The first two drop tests must result in HIC values below 1000 while the second two result in HIC values greater than 1000. This can also be displayed on a computer by inserting the units memory card in the computer and downloading the data |
The GFactorGo Wireless Playground Impact Testers Handheld Controller is small enough to fit in your pocket |
