Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    To prevent cable tangling, a theater needs a wireless system to monitor multiple load cells at once during stage rigging activities. They want to monitor multiple locations of the load cells at once or individually, especially when equipment and loads such as curtains are being rigged on stage.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface suggests installing multiple WTSSHK-B-JR Wireless Crosby™ Bow Load Shackles to the stage’s rigging system, with integrated Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules. When a load is implemented, the load shackles will wirelessly transmit the data 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 load cells and WTS Wireless Telemetry System successfully achieved the customer’s need to monitor the multiple load cells at once or individually- especially during different stage rigging activities.
