Straightpoint Wireless Shackle

Ready to ship in capacities of 3.25mt to 120mt and available up to 1,550mt, the Wireless Shackle is manufactured from industry leading Carbon and Alloy Bolt Type Anchor Shackles.

Straightpoint’s Wireless Shackle provides the perfect solution to limited headroom applications. Each Wireless Shackle is proof tested, then equipped with a hard anodized aluminum electronics enclosure. Contained within this aluminum enclosure is a new internal chassis providing IP67/NEMA6 environmental protection even with the battery cover plate missing. 

Straightpoint's Wireless Shackle Featuring industry leading wireless technology and range of 700m/2300ft, the Wireless Shackle is supplied with an update rate of 3Hz and can be easily configured to run at industry leading speeds of up to 200Hz. Data is transmitted wirelessly utilizing the latest in IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) technology providing safe, high integrity, error free transmission of both static weight and dynamic load to a wireless handheld controller or wireless Windows PC data logging software package. Straightpoint’s wireless data logging software allows for simultaneous control, display and real time data logging of up to 100 Straightpoint telemetry load cells. Logged data is captured in a .csv file format and opens in MS Excel providing easy visual presentation, analysis of logged data, and simple test certificate generation. 

The Straightpoint Wireless Shackle may also be used with Straightpoint’s SW-PTP software package allowing the operator to perform load tests at a safe distance and generate real time test certificates on site. 

Straightpoint’s Wireless Shackle utilizes easily sourced AA alkaline batteries and features advanced circuitry designed to protect the unit from damage associated with incorrectly installed batteries. This advanced circuitry extends battery life and the use of easily sourced alkaline batteries eliminates issues associated with rechargeable battery pack charging, failure and replacement. Straightpoint’s huge range of tooling allows the engineers to calibrate in shackle for extra accuracy unlike many other load cell manufacturers. 

A full array of Straightpoint wireless accessories are also available including signal boosters, LED wireless scoreboards and base stations with analogue (4-20mA, 0-10v, 0-5v) or digital (RS232/485, Modbus RTU, and ASCII serial communications protocol) outputs. There is no better choice than Straightpoint’s Wireless Shackle for limited headroom applications.

Handheld plus

Features and benefits:

• Overload counter

• User settable 90db audible overload alarm

• Multiple display units – metric tons, lbs, kg and kN

• 100Hz Peak hold

• Pre-set tare

• Wireless range 700m/2300ft

The Handheld plus is a rugged and versatile digital handheld display with a broad range of features and suitable for all Straightpoint load cell products.

At the heart of the ergonomically designed Handheld plus is a powerful PCB providing industry leading features such as user selectable units of measure (metric tons, lbs, kg and kN), programmable audible overload alarm, peak hold, pre-set tare and a user resettable overload counter. 

This crucial overload alarm counter is a requirement for many safety and quality control departments, as it keeps track of overload events, allowing the load cell in question to be removed from service immediately, following the calibration voiding overload event. The load cell in question can then be sent out for proper testing and, if necessary, recalibration before re-entering service. 

The HHP is suitable for connection via cable to any Straightpoint cabled load cell product and easily adapted to any other manufacturers’ load cell product with a mv/v output.  In addition to the standard HHP the SW-HHP is suitable for connection to any Straightpoint wireless load cell, has a range of up to 700m/2300ft and is supplied as standard with the Radiolink plus load cell.
