With a simple program setting, the inoffensive laser ray of the LEADER Sentry detects the slightest movement of a structure or mass that may endanger persons such as an unstable building, a vehicle accident, or a landslide. Two LEADER Sentry laser sensors can be linked simultaneously to monitor two different structures or two axis of movement of the same structure. If the movement of the structure exceeds the warning threshold chosen, a powerful siren and a flashing light are activated to warn of an impending collapse, allowing rescuers to evacuate. www.leadernorthamerica.com.
