Abstract

A container security device (CSD) can be mounted near a container door and doorframe such that the device, using a sensor, can measure a distance between the door and the doorframe. By measuring and comparing this distance measurement with one or more alarm limits, the CSO can determine if the door is open and, if so, activate an 10 alarm. Because of design and manufacturing tolerances, container doors can move relative to the doorframe while the container is in transport. Because of this movement, 'tighter' alarm limits can be applied when the container is stationary than when the container is moving. The CSD comprises an accelerometer which can detect at least some movement of the container. Based on measurements from the accelerometer, the 15 CSD can characterize the container as 'moving' or 'stationary' and can select the corresponding alarm limits from a set of alarm limits.
