Impulse detector unit

Impulse detector units were a type of impulse detector, a device used to monitor the dangerously high power output of podracers. The units consisted of a flat base with a grill above it on the device's front with a triangular central surface in the center of the grill. A series of protrusions extended from the dark gray top of the device, including a signal clarifier and a receiver antenna. Tubing ran from each side of the device back round to the rear.

In 32 BBY, there was an impulse detector unit sat on the counter of the junkshop owned by the junk dealer Watto in the city of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine when the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn led a group of his allies into the store in search of a T-14 hyperdrive generator.
