Detailed description

Designed for demanding marine environments, the wireless load cell CYCLOPS Smartlink² 20t provides precise and real-time monitoring of dynamic loads on rigging. Ideal for superyachts, offshore racing sailboats, and high-performance cruising yachts, this sensor enables optimization of sail and rigging settings while ensuring equipment safety.

Performance and Robustness

The Smartlink² 20t features a maximum load capacity of 20,000 kg (20 tonnes) and an accuracy of ±1% of the maximum working load (MWL) across a temperature range of -10°C to +40°C. Its body is made of Ti6Al4V titanium, a material known for its strength and light weight, while the Acetal housing ensures IP67/IP68+ waterproofing. These specifications ensure durability and reliability in the harshest marine conditions, including saltwater and offshore environments.

Connectivity and Integration

This sensor transmits data in real time via Bluetooth to the Cyclops Smartfittings app, available on iOS and Android. The app allows you to view loads, configure the sensor (adjustable data frequency from 0.1 to 10Hz), and log sessions for post-race analysis. The Smartlink² 20t can also connect directly to Vakaros and Sailmon wireless displays, or integrate with onboard electronic systems via an optional Cyclops gateway compatible with NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT. The new internal antenna improves Bluetooth range by approximately 60% compared to previous versions.

Design and Installation

With dimensions of 107 x 88 x 39 mm and a weight of 770 g, the Smartlink² 20t is compact and lightweight, minimizing inertia on the rigging. It is designed for inline integration with flexible lines (ropes, straps, textile shackles), requiring a 15 mm strop diameter for optimal accuracy. Installation is simplified with a quick-release mounting system. The device is powered by a lithium polymer battery offering up to 2,000 hours of continuous use (1Hz) and up to 8,000 hours in extended use mode. Wireless inductive charging takes approximately 1 hour. Its design with no removable parts enhances robustness and practicality at sea.

Expert opinion

« CYCLOPS Smartlink² 20t: Load Control for High-Performance Rigging »

The CYCLOPS Smartlink² 20t load cell is a strategic solution for demanding sailors, particularly on superyachts and offshore racing sailboats. Its 20-ton capacity enables reliable monitoring of dynamic loads on standard rigging elements such as halyards, sheets, and backstays. The dual purpose is clear: optimize performance by sailing at the material's safety limits and prevent costly damage from over-tensioning. It provides an objective view of constraints, essential for quick and safe rig tuning.

The Smartlink² is designed for simple and efficient integration. It installs inline using flexible lines, such as Dyneema strops, minimizing clutter and impact on the rigging. The absence of removable parts and inductive charging greatly simplify maintenance and enhance reliability at sea. Direct Bluetooth connectivity to the Smartfittings app or via an NMEA2000/0183 bridge facilitates integration with existing onboard electronic systems.

This model stands out for its unique combination of capacity (20t), compactness, light weight (770g), and precision (±1% of MWL). The Ti6Al4V titanium body and IP67/IP68+ sealing ensure durability suited to the harshest marine conditions. The 60% improved Bluetooth range compared to the previous generation is a significant advantage for large vessels. It is a relevant choice for those seeking reliable and repeatable load measurement without compromising robustness or ease of use.

To ensure the specified accuracy, using strops of the correct diameter (15mm) is mandatory. It is also critical to install it in a straight line and avoid setups with direct metal shackles that could damage the sensor body. This is not a sensor intended for static or lifting applications where metrological certification is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the maximum load capacity of the Smartlink² 20t sensor?

The CYCLOPS Smartlink² 20t load cell is designed to measure dynamic loads up to 20,000 kg (20 tonnes).

How does the Smartlink² 20t load sensor transmit load data?

The sensor transmits data in real time in several ways:

Via Bluetooth to the Cyclops Smartfittings app, available on iOS and Android. Directly to Vakaros and Sailmon wireless displays. To onboard electronic systems via an optional Cyclops gateway compatible with NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT.

What is the measurement accuracy of the Smartlink² 20t?

The Smartlink² 20t sensor provides an accuracy of ±1% of the Maximum Working Load (MWL) across a temperature range from -10°C to +40°C. This accuracy is achieved using slings supplied by Cyclops Marine.

What materials is the Smartlink² 20t sensor made from?

The Smartlink² 20t sensor body is made of Ti6Al4V titanium, a material known for its strength and light weight. Its housing is Acetal and provides an IP67/IP68+ rated waterproof seal.

How to correctly install the Smartlink² 20t transducer on my rigging?

The Smartlink² is designed to be installed inline with soft lines, ropes, or strops to ensure the most accurate load measurement. It is not recommended for use in a bridle configuration, as this could make the displayed load inaccurate. Using shackles or metal pins directly on the Smartlink² is not advised, as this could mark the titanium body and cause permanent damage.

What is the battery life of the sensor and how do I recharge it?

The Smartlink² 20t sensor is equipped with a Lithium Polymer battery. Battery life varies depending on usage mode:

Approximately 2,000 hours in "Powered on" mode (1Hz data frequency).Approximately 8,000 hours in "Extended use" mode (0.25Hz data frequency).Up to 2 years in "Powered off" mode.Wireless charging is performed using the supplied charger. The sensor must be powered on during charging. A flashing red LED indicates charging, and a steady green LED means the battery is charged to over 90%.

Can I adjust the data transmission frequency of the sensor?

Yes, the data transmission frequency of the Smartlink² 20t sensor is adjustable. By default, it is set to 1Hz, but it can be configured via the Cyclops Smartfittings app to vary from 0.1 to 10Hz, depending on your monitoring requirements.

What information can I access via the Cyclops Smartfittings mobile application?

The Cyclops Smartfittings application (iOS and Android) allows you to:

View loads in real time.Configure the sensor (data frequency, units, number of significant digits).Log sessions for post-race analysis, with data exported in .csv format including local time and GPS data.Access statistics (minimum, maximum, average, averages over 1, 10 and 30 minutes).Use the "Load Talk" feature to hear loads through headphones.

Is the Smartlink² 20t sensor resistant to saltwater and marine conditions?

Yes, the Smartlink² 20t is designed specifically for demanding marine environments. Its Acetal housing ensures IP67/IP68+ waterproofing, guaranteeing durability and reliability even in saltwater and the harshest offshore conditions. The Ti6Al4V titanium body also contributes to its robustness.

What to do if the transducer sustains a significant impact or overload?

A significant impact on the sensor body or an overload exceeding 150% of the maximum working load (MWL) can cause permanent damage to the internal instrumentation and affect calibration. In such cases, the sensor must be returned to Cyclops Marine for inspection and recalibration. Do not attempt to repair the sensor yourself.
