Operating the iGurt
• After installing the iGurt on the lashing strap, it may be used like a conventional lashing strap in compliance with
the safety and usage instructions.
• Compared to the conventional means of securing cargo with lashing straps, no additional operating steps are
necessary when using the iGurt. The device detects if a lashing strap process has begun and powers itself up.
Similarly, the device detects when the lashing strap has been unravelled at the end of a journey and turns itself
off . It is not possible to turn the device on or off or otherwise control it manually.
• As soon as the lashing strap process begins, the LED display on the device powers itself up. The reading for the
current tensioning force can now be taken. The display should be interpreted as follows: a fl ashing LED means
that the amount of tensioning force is higher than the value next to it. The force is displayed in decanewtons
(1 daN = 10 N). After the lashing strap process has ended, the display will turn itself off .
• Make sure that the remaining loose end of the lashing strap is still hanging underneath and that it runs through
the middle of the iGurt before the ratchet buckle is closed after the lashing strap process has ended in order
to prevent the strap material from becoming jammed in the ratchet buckle or between the iGurt and the ratchet
buckle.
Note: the lashing strap is only secure when the ratchet buckle is completely shut and the safety-mechanism is
engaged.

Using the iGurt app
The app automatically detects every iGurt in range, shows how many there are
and depicts each iGurt as a tile in the summary view.
The short ID and current amount of tensioning force is shown in each tile.
A green tile means that the loss of
tensioning force lies in a normal
range.
The yellow battery symbol indicates
that the iGurt's battery level is low.
A grey tile shows that the iGurt does
not detect any tensioning force.
BPW-BA-iGurt 37842001e
A red tile indicates a critical loss of
tensioning force.
When a red tile appears, an audible
alarm is simultaneously triggered.
In such cases, pause the journey
as quickly as possible and check
whether the load is secure.
