ACX-SERIES DIGITAL AIRCRAFT CABLE TENSION METER
ACX
Digital Aircraft Cable Tension Meters measure tension(s) precisely over a wide variety of cable sizes.

  • Indicate Cable Tensions in Lbs, KG, or Newtons.
  • Small space access. One-hand operation. Memory storage features.
  • ACX Screen Callouts 

    • Display shows tension, battery charge level, name of calibration selected, and stores and displays up to 5 separate tension readings and their average.
    • Large, easy to read backlit, graphic display with adjustable backlighting and contrast.
    • Select cable size from menu. Instrument automatically adjusts calibration to correct setting.
    • Accuracy is +/- 2% full-scale for all menu-selectable calibrations. Accuracy for custom calibrations is material specific.
    • Up to 10 calibrations can be entered into instrument. (All calibrations password protected to provide due diligence).
    • Adjustable LCD refresh rates allow for stable digital readings.
    • All models typically available from stock.
    • All models factory-calibrated and ready for use on aircraft.
    • Calibration values traceable to National Standards. Calibration certificate included.
    STANDARD INSTRUMENTS:
    Model Range Resolution Standard Cable Selections
    ACX-250 20-250 lbs 0.5 lb 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32
    ACX-500 40-500 lbs 1 lb 3/32, 1/8, 5/32
    ACX-CWT 20-250 lbs 0.5 lb CWT-5,CWT-10,CWT-15,CWT-20,CWT-25
    ACX-CMB 20-250 lbs 0.5 lb 1/16,3/32,1/8,5/32,CWT-5 thru CWT-25

    *Calibrations for 3/16", 7/32" and for metric sized cables can be added to the cable selection menu upon request, however cables with diameters larger than 5/32" will only indicate up to approximately 90% of maximum tension range. For example, an instrument scaled for a maximum tension range of 250 lbs will display readings up to approximately 225 lbs on 7/32" or 3/16" diameter cables.

    Available Options for all Instruments
    Option designator
    -A
    Analog Output Option
    Analog Output Option for measuring tension values. 0-5 VDC or 4 -20 mA with software-definable ending sequences. Provided with 10' cable. Data outputted at 40Hz.
    Option designator
    -E
    RS-232 Serial Output Option
    Provided with 10' cable to interface with your receiving device. Select data sampling rate from 1, 2 or 5 Hz.

    Note: Add option-designator letter to the end of the Model Number. (For example, a Model ACX-250-E denotes a standard ACX-250 with the optional RS-232, serial output function included.)

     

    SPECIFICATIONS

    • Approximate weight is 1-1/2 lb (Weight varies depending upon instrument configuration.)

    • Re-chargeable NIMH battery with power supply provided.  Approximately 6 hours of operation per battery charge, depending on backlighting intensity.

    • Power Supply operates with voltages from 100-240V and includes interchangeable "blades" allowing use with European, US, Australian, and other plug configurations.

    • Automatic shutoff after 10 minutes of non-use.

    • Instruments may be operated continuously while connected to power supply.

    • Durable, lightweight carrying case with protective foam inserts.

    • CE certification complying with heavy, industrial immunity standards.
