DynaTension model ALM400
Mooring Tension Monitoring System
The DynaTension model ALM400 infers anchor line tension from the vibration frequency of a span of the cable without physically contacting the cable.
A non-contact exciter sensor assembly (ESA) that only weighs 40 lbs silently plucks the cable with a magnetic pulse force to initiate and maintain cable vibration. A sense coil in the ESA senses the vibration, a Signal Processor Unit processes the frequency sensed and outputs tension in either analog or digital format.
Either a high tension alarm or a low tension alarm is provided. Additionally, the amount of line paid out or in may be measured and displayed along with line tension.
