1 .0 O V ERV I EW 4 .0 The CHECK•LINE® Type SY Cable Tensiometers are used to measure or compare static tensions in long, moderately flexible galvanized or stainless steel wire ropes, fiberglass rods and other cables with similar stiffness. The Model SY-600 covers diameters from 3/16" to 1/2" (4 to 12mm) for tensions of 400-3000 lbs (200-1500 kg). The Model SY-1000 covers diameters from 1/2” to 1” (13 to 24mm) for tensions of 850-5500 lbs (400-2500 kg).

6. Turn the CF screw head counter-clockwise (CCW) until the middle roller reaches the cable. Continue turning until the dial indicator pointer value reaches its maximum value, and then turn it another turn or two. This action applies the pre-set Constant Force to the middle roller, causing maximum cable deflection. 7. Apply sufficient tension with the load-applying device, as indicated on the load cell or dynamometer, to reach the first calibration point.

Where installed cables are less than 14-feet long, use a test span equal to the length of the cable. NOTE: Application spans of less than 14-feet, great stiffness and/or large diameter may not be measurable. Please inquire. 2.
