Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    Complex lighting fixtures in hotels or artistic installations need to be properly installed and monitored for safety reasons. The weight of heavy lighting fixtures can affect the structural integrity it is mounted on, causing it to weaken and possible cause accidents or other damage. A weight monitoring system is needed for these kinds of applications.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface suggests installing multiple WTSSHK-B-JR Wireless Crosby™ Bow Load Shackles to rig system on the ceiling, with integrated Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules. The load shackles will wirelessly transmit the light fixtures weight to the WTS-BS-4 Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure connected to the customer’s PC. Results of all load cell points or individual points can be wirelessly transmitted and displayed through a customer computer with Log 100 software, or using the WTS-HK-S Next-Generation Wireless Handheld.

  • Results

    Interface’s wireless load shackles successfully monitored the multiple loads of each of the light fixtures at once or individually. This created a safe and secure environment.
