Rev.0 – 19/03/2021 Weights Version Weight [Kg] NOTE! Weights refer to the tensioner with the motorization. Product composition Tensioner CT0 is composed by the following groups:...
The rope diameter when is not stretched cannot exceed the 5% of the nominal value specified at the Captive order. Two configurations of Tensioner CT0 are available in function of the rope diameter: Ø10-12mm and Ø14-16mm. Every Tensioner is assembled considering the specific rope diameter defined at the order.
Electric Tensioner Outline Harken supplies to the customer the outline drawing of the product and the minimum space around necessary for making the inspection and maintenance of the product.
It is installer's responsibility to carry out all structural tests needed to ensure that the deck can bear the load. To install the Tensioner CT0 to the deck, use 4xM10bolts, steel class A4 70: NOTE! Harken does not supply the fasteners needed to install the Tensioner since these may vary depending on the deck on which it is to be installed.
To operate the installation, follow the steps below (alphabetic indexes): A. Place the drilling cut-out template over the point chosen for installation. The template in DWG format and 1:1 scaled is available on request from the Harken Italy Tech Service at techservice@harken.it.
