Warning:
This equipment should be installed by a qualified individual, able to assemble the apparatus and its guying. Using this
equipment for purposes other than those originally intended (cable tension measurement) is prohibited. When assembly as
been done correctly, the device can be used by fitters, gymnasts, trainers and judges.
IMPORTANT: The device should be assembled on cables with maximum used tension of 10000N.
If capacity is exceeded, the tensiometer displays « Overload » instead of the cable voltage
measurement.
ATTENTION: The device should be only charged with USB charger (4) (supplied with its cable (5)), with 5V DC
output maximum voltage and deliver a current between 1 and 2A. All connected external circuits to device need to be
imperatively SELV type (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and Limited Power Sources in accordance with relating to information
processing equipment standards: «IEC60950-1:2005+/A1:2010+/A2:2013-§2.2 et 2.5» and «EN60950 1:2006+/A11:2009+/

I. GCTC « Zero setting »:
Before mounting the device (1) on a cable, be sure to calibrate the zero
of the device.
To make the « Zero setting »:
• Lay the device (1) flat without exerting any tension on the hooks (rings
(a) and quick links (2)),
• Press the « Start » button (b) during 5s until the following message
is displayed on the screen (c):
« release and quickly press on the button for calibration »
• Release the button (b) then immediately press it quickly again to
enter the « Zero setting » mode. The following message is displayed
on the screen (c):
« calibration mode in progress check that the load is at zero »
The operation takes less than 5s.
• Then you can connect your device (1) with the 2 quick links (2) to a
cable to measure the tension.
II. Assembly of the tension control device on apparatus cable set:
1. Asymmetric Bars: 2 devices (1) are required to measure cables tension. Assemble each complete device (3) between
the quick fastener and the anchorage point as shown on figures below. To complete assembly, refer to Standard Cable Set
(Ref.: 3203B) assembly instructions NM177D.
2. High Bars: 1 device (1) is required to measure cable tension. Assemble complete device (3) between the quick fastener
and the anchorage point as shown on figures below. To complete assembly, refer to Standard Cable Set (Ref.: 3011B) assembly
instructions NM180C.

3. Ring frames: 1 device (1) is required to measure cable tension. Assemble complete device (3) between the quick fastener
and the anchorage point as shown on figures below. To complete assembly, refer to Cable Set (Ref.: 3700/40) assembly
instructions NM181D.
III. Use of the tension control device on apparatus cable set:
1. General terms of transport, storage and use:
The device work properly under the following conditions:
- Indoor in a not wet area,
- At a maximale altitude of 2000m,
- For temperatures between 5 and 40°C,
- With 80% maximal wet relative humidity for temperatures ≤ 31°C, then decreasing
to about 50% at 40°C.
- Its pollution degree is P2 provided, which is a nonconducting dry pollution degree
(like chalk), which a temporary conduction can be expected with condensation
(like sweat).
2. Symbols mean:
- «CE» marking: health, safety, efficiency and environmental protection requirements
European Conformity applicable standards and guidelines for this device (see §
Compliance page 1).
- «Crossed out waste bin» symbol: means product may not be disposed of with
normal household waste at the end of their service life. It must be brought to a
collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment/devices.
Be sure the product is properly disposed, you promote the preventing negative
effects for environment nd human health, otherwise would be an improper waste
treatment for this product. To obtain more details on recycling of this product, please

3. Tension control device operation:
- To turn on the device (1), press the « Start » button (b). The cable tension is displayed for 5 seconds, then the device turn off.
- The device gives the tension in a range from 0 to 10000 (N) with increments of 100 (N).
- When cable set is in tension (quick tensionners red handles closed), without any user on the apparatus, if the cable tension
displayed is less than 1000 or greater than 5000, la LED (d) flashes for 10 seconds. The apparatus should not be used:
for your safety, the cable tension should be in the range of 1000 to 5000.
-IMPORTANT: The device should be assembled on cables with maximum used tension of 10000N. If capacity is
exceeded, the tensiometer displays « Overload » instead of the cable voltage measurement.
4. Supply and charging the tension control device:
- ATTENTION: The device (1) should be only charged with USB charger (4) (supplied with its cable (5)), with 5V DC
output maximum voltage and deliver a current between 1 and 2A.
- When the device (1) is on, the battery load level pictogram « » (e) displays on the right top of the screen (c). Check it
regularly before each use. The black area in this pictogram defines the remaining charge level of the battery, composed
of 20 levels (1 black level = 5% of the battery capacity).
- If the battery reaches an insufficient charge level for use, the bottom line of the screen indicates «Low battery». The device
(1) must then be recharged before any new use, via the USB port (f) located on the side of the device.
- Nota: When the device (1) is powered through its USB connector (f), the display remains active permanently.
- When the device is charging, the display (c) indicates « Charging bat. ».
- When the battery reaches its maximum charge, the display (c) indicates « Bat. charged ».
- As an indication, as part of a regular use of the device (1), it must be recharged approximatively every 6 months (depending
of using).
IV. Maintenance :
- Regular cleaning of the device will make it easier to spot any problems (distortion, play, breakage or corrosion).
- Before each use, make a through check on good condition and correct operation of safety elements: the lack of wear on
the rings (a) and quick links (2), and their locking.
- This device (1) have to be cleaned only with a dry cloth, excluding all cleanup removers which could damage it.
- Check the external appearance of the equipment (1) once a month, which must not show any visible defects (screen (c),
indicator light (d), plastic housing without cracks or other signs of damage).
- Check the proper operation of the alarm once a month, lowering the voltage of the cable on which it is mounted below
the 1000N threshold. The display (c) must indicate a clearly visible voltage value and the light alert must be activated: LED
(d) flashes for 10 seconds.
- The tension control device (1) has to be dismantled from de cable set as less yearly, to remake the « Zero setting » (see § I.)
- If the device (1) is not in use for a period of 3 months or more, charge the device before a new use until the display (c)
indicates that the load is complete (cf. § III. 4.).
Important :
- If a problem or a failure is found or suspected, do not use the equipment until it has been checked by a technician.
