Ever wonder what it takes to make sure a K-9 never gets left behind? Check out the Erie County, Ohio Sheriff's Office truck in the video below.
To maximize safety and deliver a simple and clear message that informs the public what to do, you connect a Cool Guard system, from American Aluminum Accessories, to a BluePrint system, from SoundOff Signal. Whenever the Cool Guard senses a heat emergency inside the vehicle, it triggers a signal, telling the BluePrint system to activate the emergency lights and play the message you hear in the video. Simultaneously, the system activates a fan for ventilation and rolls down the back windows of the vehicle.
The audible and visual sequence will continue until the following parameters are met: the interior audible alarm is manually turned off, the fan is manually turned off, the emergency lights are manually turned off, and the audible message is manually turned off. There are many steps to shutting down the monitoring system and there are many steps to disabling a triggered alarm. This is all designed to keep our K-9 companions as safe as possible.
