4. INTRODUCTION 4.1. Description This tension meter dynarope HF 36/1 LPT is an electronic load cell that has been designed to measure the effort applied in a wire rope without having to dismantle the installation. The resulting signal generated by the sensor equipped with strain gauges is interpreted by a digital display controlled by a microprocessor.
