Product Description
The COLT is a lightweight wire rope tension meter (or shunt tension meter) for fast and accurate measurement of tensions up to 11,000 lbs (5000 kg) and up to 1" (25 mm) diameter. Manufactured using an integral, high accuracy, Bluetooth module the COLT transmits load data wirelessly to any smart device running the free Android or iOS app. Constructed from aerospace grade aluminum the COLT digital tensiometer is lightweight and easy to handle and operates on wires that are already under tension. Once in place it allows the operator to quickly check tension on cables or wire ropes set at any angle. A built-in magnetic smart device holder allows the COLT to be used as a traditional tension meter with on board display or the smartphone can be handheld or mounted elsewhere. Supplied in a purpose made carry case the COLT is portable and utilizes standard alkaline batteries making it perfect for on-site cable tension measurement across the world. An optional calibration verification tool (CVT, sold separately) allows the operator to self-check & verify calibration accuracy in the field if required.
