The Bowmonk BrakeCheck is a fully self-contained, portable, battery-powered device that can be used by workshops, government traffic authorities, testing and inspection stations etc. to test and report on vehicle brake efficiency.

The Bowmonk BrakeCheck determines braking efficiency of both the Service Brake (Foot brake) and Hand Brake by measuring deceleration.

Designed to be self-compensating, the instrument will indicate on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test. A generous tolerance ensures "level enough" is easily achieved. All operations are performed using only three buttons on the unit.

The Bowmonk BrakeCheck can be used to test any type of vehicle, including motorcycles, and can be positioned anywhere in the vehicle.

The device operates on 4 rechargeable Nickel Cadimium batteriese and will power-down after a period of inativity to conserve energy. Results of the last test performed are available for viewing and printing even a power-down.

With the Bowmonk BrakeCheck, test results can be viewed on the display or by downloading to a PC. Printing can be done from the PC or by using a serial printer. Serial printing can be done using the optional infra-red link or cable.

There are 2 BrakeCheck models available:

• Part number BOW 801: stores only 1 Service Brake and 1 Hand Brake test into memory.
• Part number BOW 803: stores 99 Service Brake and 99 Hand Brake tests into memory.
