The WTSSHK-B Wireless Crosby™ Bow Load Shackle transmits real‑time force data wirelessly to the WTS-HK-S Next-Generation Wireless Handheld, enabling seamless monitoring from multiple sensors on a compact, portable interface.
Applications:
26.5K and 265K lbf
12 to 120 MT
WTSSHK-B Wireless Crosby™ Bow Load Shackle of telemetry load shackles are manufactured using the Crosby™ G2130 (12 to 15 MT / 26.5K and 33.1K lbf) and G2140 (40 to 120 MT / 88.2K to 265K lbf) shackles. Suitable for use in a wide range of industrial and marine weighing applications, these load shackles are robust, reliable and easy to install.
The unique telemetry housing is manufactured from tough high performance polyamide resin making it strong yet light, resulting in a better balanced load shackle when compared to others available on the market. Two clips enable you to open the housing to access and change the two AAA batteries, while the internal electronics underneath remain completely sealed. This includes the antenna to ensure maximum protection from damage. The built in radio telemetry electronics operates on the 2.4GHz license free frequency.
The WTSSHK-B can be supplied as standard with a handheld battery powered display which can toggle between MT or lbs, or alternatively, for multi-shackle applications. A single display can address up to 12 shackles for individual monitoring, or for summation/ weighing applications.
Interface can also supply more complex telemetry systems. For further information on what we can offer, please contact our technical department with details of your application requirements.
The WTS-HK-S is a next-generation wireless handheld that combines the most popular features of the WTS-BS-1, WTS-BS-1-HS, and WTS-BS-1-HA into a single, versatile device. A single unit can be configured as needed, reducing inventory requirements and engineering setup time. Out of the box, it operates in roaming mode, automatically detecting and displaying data from up to twelve nearby WTS transmitters at ranges up to 800 m (2,600 ft). For more advanced applications, users can define up to twelve specific inputs with custom settings such as calibrated units and overload alerts. Configuration can be completed directly from the handheld menu, while full setup, saving, and loading of configurations can be performed using the free WTS Toolkit software. Menu items can be locked or hidden with PIN and password protection to prevent accidental changes, and the display can be customized to suit specific operational needs. Firmware updates via the toolkit allow access to new features, including mathematical functions for calculations such as sums, differences, and load determination based on sling angles. The license-free 2.4 GHz DSSS radio provides reliable, interference-resistant communication with FCC, ETSI, and IC approvals.
Interface strongly recommends requesting a system-level calibration when purchasing a force measurement sensor with instrumentation. This final step ensures the sensor and instrumentation are properly calibrated and functioning together before leaving Interface.
