Results are displayed on the wireless handheld tablet and drop test data can also be transferred from a removable SD card into the Triax software on a PC or laptop computer.

To further ensure accuracy and repeatability an electromagnet hold and release system prevents errors caused by operators manually dropping the head form, influencing the fall trajectory. This ensures that sequential drops are from the same height and to the same point on the surface.

The Triax Touch HIC Impact Tester with tripod is in compliance with worldwide standards for testing surfaces under and around playground equipment including but not limited to:

ASTM F1292
ASTM F355
EN 1177

For Critical Fall Height (CFH) calculation, as per EN1177, four drop tests must be performed with the Triax Touch HIC 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 unit’s memory card in the computer and downloading the data

A manually operated cable clamp allows the head form

For fine adjustment of drop height, a flexible steel cable is used to raise and lower the steel lifting block. To prevent the cable position from changing the supplied locking device is attached to the leg section adjacent to the location where the cable exits the tripod head.
