Single/Dual Channel Cable Force Dynamic Tester

The single channel unit reads one sensor at a time, which is enough if you are monitoring a single cable or a single point of interest. The dual channel model lets you connect two sensors and collect data from both simultaneously, useful when you need to compare tensions at two locations in real time without switching inputs.

It accepts most strain‑gauge‑based load cells and IEPE accelerometers commonly used for cable force measurement. As long as your sensor output is within the specified mV or voltage range, the device can condition and digitise the signal. If you are unsure about compatibility, Kingmach can check your sensor specs and suggest any gain adjustments needed.

The tester runs on a wide DC input range, so a standard 12 V or 24 V battery bank works. For long‑term monitoring, a small solar panel with a charge controller is usually enough. If AC mains are available, an external adapter can be provided.

It outputs an analogue voltage proportional to the measured force, plus a digital stream over RS‑485 or Modbus. That makes it easy to connect to older chart recorders or modern PLCs. The digital output also streams timestamped force values, which helps with synchronisation if you are also recording wind speed or temperature.

The enclosure is sealed against dust and water jets, so it can sit under a deck or inside a cable anchorage without extra shelter. The connectors are industrial‑grade and lock in place. Still, if you need to mount it fully exposed, Kingmach can add a sun shield and stainless‑steel fittings on request.
