The fall sensor for the cyclist Tocsen

All help for the cyclist is little.

In addition to the signal lights and bright colors in the clothing that cyclists are increasingly using, little by little more products are coming onto the market that contribute their grain of sand to the safety of one of the most vulnerable groups on the roads.

The Tocsen brand has launched a fall sensor for the athlete.

Designed for any type of sport that may entail a risk of falling, such as skiing or trail running, among others, is also presented as a great ally for the triathlete in their cycling sessions, both on the road and in the mountains.

That is to say, a tool can save us from a good scare whenever we practice any sport that is done outdoors and alone

In the box

Opening the box we will find:

• fall sensor
• USB charging cable
• Adhesive to be able to place it
• Cardboard with the QR to download the application on the mobile
• two stickers

How to start it?

It is very simple, you will simply have to plug it in through the USB connector cable that it has and charge its internal battery.

Your application

The second step would be to install the Tocsen application on your mobile, downloading and configuring it is very simple.

In addition, in it you can add the emergency telephone numbers you want and at the same time it is necessary to "activate the location". Once all these steps are completed, we will have to connect the device to the light current (the first time it is used) to synchronize.

It is possible that this first time an update will be made. Then it will give us the instructions to be able to correctly place the device.

How It Works

Once you have everything installed, from the application itself you can check the battery charge, as well as check the beep it emits or simulate a fall.

The sensor is activated when a fall occurs and is responsible for automatically alerting the emergency contacts that are defined through the application.

It will do so through an SMS, which ensures that it will stand out in the notifications, distinguishing it from WhatsApp messages, for example.

 How do you detect falls?

Thanks to its high pressure accelerometer, so it can reliably detect the intensity of the fall in order to send the alert to your contacts.

 How is it placed?

The ideal position for this device, in the case of cycling, is on the helmet. It has an adhesive pad, to stick the sensor where you want.

We recommend that you stick it on the side or bottom of your helmet, behind the ear. In the application itself, it gives you a guideline on how to do it.
