Bowmonk MOT Calibration Check

MOT Decelerometer Approved As Connectable Tester

October 15th, 2019 Comments off

Bowmonk BrakeCheck has been approved as a MTS CONNECTABLE DEVICE

BrakeCheck MOT Decelerometer is one of the first decelerometers to get the MTS Connectivity approval from the DVSA.

A big advantage of connected MOT equipment will be the time it saves MOT garages. Instead of a tester carrying out a test, noting down the result, then entering it manually, it will be recorded instantly.

The time saved per test won’t be massive – we think it should save you a couple of minutes per test – but when you do hundreds of tests a year, the savings will add up.

Using this equipment gives MOT garage more accurate results, direct onto the MTS System making it quicker for MOT testers and customers alike; both critical factors in our business success. Said Ian Wills, the authorised examiner designated manager (AEDM) for the site at Deptford where testing & research has taken place.

Bowmonk’s technical team have been working with the DVSA on connecting the decelerometer BrakeCheck directly to the MOT system in order to reduce errors and save time. In the long term, this will help to reduce or eliminate the number of incorrectly entered results, as well as stopping incorrectly entered vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and mileage.

Motorhome Brake Testing

August 14th, 2017 Comments off

While Serving A Motorhome, Why Not Offer A Brake Test?

Check brakes and stay safe on the road this summer!!

BrakeCheck is a portable, DVSA-approved Brake Tester for all MOT class vehicles.
BrakeCheck determines braking efficiency of both the Service Brake (Foot Brake) and Hand Brake by measuring the rate of deceleration from a speed of around 20 mph (Service Brake) 10 mph (Foot Brake) until the vehicle comes to rest.
With no connection to the vehicle and designed to be self-compensating, the brake tester will indicate on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test, with a generous tolerance to ensure that this is easy to achieve.
The BrakeCheck decelerometer indicates whether the vehicle pulls to the left or right during braking, and reports the overall brake efficiency of the service and hand brake. Brake test results and be compared to MOT guidelines for roadworthy vehicles.
Test results can be viewed on the display panel or downloaded to a PC for saving or printing. A printed report can also be produced at the time of testing using the portable infra-red printer.
Following the service of a Motor home or vehicle, caravan service engineers could add a hard copy brake performance test, offering confidence and professionalism to the service.
