RoadWatch SS is the result of a continual improvement effort designed to incorporate significant changes to enhance the performance of our product.

The RoadWatch sensor measures both air and road surface temperatures (in Celsius) and sends to winter road maintenance equipment as commonly used on salt trucks and gritters. This kit includes sensor Fasteners, Connectors used by many popular spreaders controllers and Automatic Vehicle Locators (AVL) and Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. Depending on the manufacturers spread controller a RoadWatch RS232 adaptor and M8 extension cable (434-0100-000, 434-0100-001, 434-0100-002) may also be required depending on the length needed.

The changes you’ll find described below are the result of extensive product testing, research and feedback from users. We firmly believe that the end result of these efforts is a safety system that is simply the best in the industry. Your input is invaluable and most appreciated as we proudly offer you an even safer driving solution.

Easy, Quick Sensor Head Replacement

Outside your truck a harsh environment is waiting. Sensor heads can be damaged and the last thing you need is extensive repair time. Now, in five minutes, the sensor head can be replaced outside the vehicle without re-routing the cable.

Improved Air Sensor

We know that the sooner you’re aware of potential danger the better. RoadWatch SS responds much more quickly to temperature changes than our previous version.

Extension Cables

Now you can extend out to beyond the standard cabling length with extensions of 4, 12 and 16 feet and take the overall length to 60 usable feet.

Flexible Cabling

A modest improvement but something greatly appreciated when you’re routing into tight spaces under the dash or through the door. RoadWatch Kit Sensor Head Extension Cable Temperature Gauge

RoadWatch Kit

RoadWatch SS features the most technologically advanced early warning system of road and air temperatures in the industry.

Our new state-of-the-art system continuously monitors and displays air and road temperatures to a digital monitor mounted on the instrument panel. RoadWatch SS is designed to give drivers advance notice of potential road freezing before a problem arises. In addition to an improved sensor, the new RoadWatch SS is easier to install or replace than our previous version. Your most important assets are your people... they deserve the best protection available... they deserve RoadWatch SS.
