The Dillon Quick-Check tension meter is the premier innovation in the cable tensioning industry. Nothing comes close to the absolute simplicity of design and accuracy. It is ideal for cable guardrails, guy lines and overhead wires. The digital load cell is rugged, highly repeatable and accurate.
The Dillon Quick-Check tension meter can be placed on a cable, measure its tension, and removed in under five seconds. There are no complex lookup tables or conversion charts – saving time and money. The Quick-Check tension meter can be employed in many industries requiring proper and provable tensioning. Typical applications include:
- Store wire rope readings and export data
- Time saving check-tensioning mode
- Portable and rugged designed for outdoor use
- Built-in averaging saves time and eliminates errors
- Factory calibrated for up to 20 unique wire sizes and types
- Sheaves with bearings eliminate friction and provide the best accuracy
- Accommodates a wide range of wire sizes and styles
- Telescoping handle engages meter quickly with minimal effort
- Highly visible yellow finis
- Easy-to-read backlit display with full-text prompts
- RS-232 Port
- Easy to use soft-key interface
- Uses popular AA batteries and has long life between changes

- Tension capacities:2000 lb/10 kN/1000 kg
- Wire sizes: 3/16 inch through 1 inch
- Accuracy: + 3% instrument capacity (calibrated to specific wire size & type
- + 5% with same wire diameter as calibrated but different wire type)
- Loading error: Cable elongation of only 0.08 inch (2mm)
- Display: Dot-graphic LCD display supports full text and 1 inch high digits.
- Sheave range: Set accommodates rated wire size and 1/2” smaller. Multiple sheave sets may be used.
- Suggested wire calibrations: Calibrate each wire diameter needed with the most appropriate sheaves. If two wire types are used of the same diameter (e.g. ½” 1x7 and ½” 6x19), calibrate each type independently if accuracy is critical.
- Environment protection: Suitable for continued outdoor use.
- Operating range:-4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C)
