OUR PRODUCTS
Our seat switches are widely accepted throughout the automotive inustry, and several variations of our sensors have been used as standard equipment by most car manufacturers for the past 30 years.
Our seat sensorsare designed to be factory-installed into the seat at the time of manufacture, in order for the sensor to activate or deactivate a variety of equipment, stop the vehicle, or turn off the engine when the driver is out of the seat.
Fontaine Brake also manufacturers its own patented electronic timing pack that delays the sensor activation for a pree-determined period of time. In addition, Fontaine Brake also manufacturers its own patented self-resetting thermal fuse that protects the sensor when high amperage occurs.
All of our products comply with, or exceed, the new NFPA 1901 standards, as well as California Technical Bulletin 117, which exceeds the NFPA standards.
