Inspecting the System
When you receive the ACS Accessory, look over the accessory and shipping container carefully for signs
of shipping damage, and check the parts received against the enclosed shipping list.
• If the accessory is damaged, notify the carrier and TA Instruments immediately.
• If the accessory is intact but parts are missing, contact TA Instruments.
Take note of the tilt sensor that is affixed to two sides of the packing container. The tilt sensor turns red if
the container tips onto its side or is upended. The tilt sensor will not activate under normal handling condi-
tions or aircraft take-offs. Shipments that arrive with the indicator ball bearing in a different position from
the companion label should inspect the product for possible damage and contact TA Instruments.

potential mishandling (right).
Inspect the ShockWatch device. ShockWatch devices contain a tube filled with red liquid held in suspen-
sion. When the device is subjected to an impact exceeding a specified G-level, the shock disrupts the sur-
face tension of the liquid, releasing the highly visible red dye into the length of the tube — creating a
permanent and immediate indication of mishandling. Normal movement or roadshock won’t affect the
device. Once activated, the device cannot be reset. Shipments that arrive with the tube filled with red liquid
should inspect the product for possible damage and contact TA Instruments.
