Zusammenfassung:	An impact monitoring device is provided for mounting on a vehicle for monitoring any impacts the vehicle incurs. The device includes a main housin g to be mounted below the vehicle's console. An impact sensing element is mounted on the vehicle remotely from the main housing and includes an accelerometer therein which produces an impact signal representing a magnitude of acceleration. The impa ct signal is received by a microprocessor mounted within the main housing. An operator interface is mounted on the vehicle's console remotely from the main housing . The operator interface receives coded signals from the operator and transmits th e coded signals to the microprocessor for programming and instructing the microprocessor on how to process the impact signals. If an impact signal is received by the microprocessor which exceeds a predetermined impact threshold, an alarm stat e is activated. The alarm state activates an audio alarm and disables the vehicle until a coded disarming signal is received by the operator interface.
