Simret.ic

Simret.ic

The Simret.ic is an in-cab brake tester. Simple to operate, it can be permanently installed in a vehicle’s cab.

Once in place, it works with a quick and straightforward one-button command, making it ideal for drivers to carry out routine brake testing during shifts without downtime.

The Simret.ic is housed in a lockable, plated steel case (hose proof to IP66), which protects the device and enables access to the engineer’s control panel to be restricted.

• Permanently fitted in-cab
• One-button testing with pass/fail lights
• Suitable for heavy vehicles and mine locomotives
• Up to 99 full test results are saved

How it works

It is simple to operate and can be used single-handedly. Testing is activated by pushing a single button: a bright blue light will illuminate to notify the driver that testing can begin. The driver then accelerates to the recommended test speed and simply applies the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop once that speed is reached.

The Simret.ic calculates the result, which is then displayed with a green or red light for a pass if the brakes fail to meet the required preset level. This simple traffic light system immediately alerts the vehicle’s driver to a problem.

The vehicle mechanic can easily change the settings, allowing different pass thresholds to be set. All tests are date and time-stamped, and the results for 99 tests can be stored directly on the Simret.ic.

Results can easily be downloaded and printed. The internal battery allows results to be accessed and downloaded without needing the vehicle ignition to be switched on. The battery is automatically recharged when the vehicle is running.

Recalibration should be carried out annually. The control box lights flash to warn when recalibration is overdue. This is a quick process that involves changing the sensor.
