Rope Installation
!CAUTION: Running Line Tensiometer is not for use with steel cables of steel rope.
Rope must follow a straight path over the cable puller sheaves and through the tensiometer.
Avoid contact between rope and cable puller frame.
Install rope without removing Mechanical Sensing Unit side plates or removing the sensing unit
form the puller. Simply insert through the unit (See Figure 4). Arrows indicate direction of
travel for inserting rope.
Electronics Connection
!DANGER: The Electronic Control Box is an electrical device.
Electric shock hazards exist that could result in severe personal
injury or death. Observe the following precautions:
• Do not expose Electronic Control Box or puller to water.
• Do not remove cover of Electronic Control Box (no user-serviceable parts inside).
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
• The Electronic Control Box power switch should be in the off position before
connecting or disconnecting any cords.
Connect one end of the sensing cord from the Electronic Control Box to the load cell mounted on
the Mechanical Sensing Unit (See Figure 5). The 5-pin female connector on the end of the cord
mates with the male receptacle located on the mechanical sensing unit. Connect the other end of
the cord to the Electronic Control Box (See Figure 6). Before making these connections, ensure
the receptacles are free of dirt and moisture. Do not modify this cord’s length.
Tighten the connector collars over the threaded portion of the receptacles. This prevents the cord
from coming loose during operation. This cord is necessary to measure the tensions sensed by
the load cell.
