Introduction

The Dyna-Clamp is a reliable, accurate, easy to operate tension meter that is sealed for outdoor use. The two line LCD display 

allows for selecting the correct wire rope diameter and displaying the current wire rope tension. The Dyna-Clamp is factory 

calibrated for up to eight wire rope diameters.

Manuals and additional resources are available from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website at

Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this unit.
Do not use for purposes other then measuring the tension of a wire rope.
Do not use any load bearing component that is worn beyond 5% of the original dimension.
Do not use the tension meter if any of the components of the load train are cracked, deformed, or show signs of fatigue.
Do not exceed the rated load limit of the tension meter.
Do not use the tension meter on wire rope diameters over 1''.
Do not make alterations or modifications to the tension meter.
Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
Replace labels when worn. Contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems
