Detailed description

The CYCLOPS Smartbatten T2 (SBS02) is a wireless compression sensor designed for direct, real-time measurement of sail batten tension. This system enables optimization of sail trim and ensures reproducible batten tensions, contributing to consistent performance on the water.

Wireless measurement technology

The Smartbatten T2 integrates wireless sensor technology to provide real-time load data. It transmits information via Bluetooth to the CYCLOPS Smartfittings Manager app (available on iOS and Android) or, via a dedicated gateway (sold separately), to compatible onboard instruments supporting NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT. Users can view and analyze live load data or record it for post-sailing analysis to identify areas for improvement.

Design and technical specifications

Built for demanding marine environments, the Smartbatten T2 features a Ti6Al4V titanium alloy body and a PC/ABS housing. It is calibrated with an accuracy of ±1% of the maximum working load (MWL) across a temperature range of -10 to +40°C. The sensor can measure loads up to 400 kg. Despite its robustness, the sensor alone weighs 62 g, with a net impact of 44 g per batten once installed (including adapter and compression block, excluding the removed batten section). It is powered by a 0.925 Wh lithium polymer battery, offering up to 80 days of battery life in "Powered on" mode (1 Hz) and up to 500 days in "Extended use" mode (0.25 Hz). Wireless inductive charging takes approximately 1 hour.

Installation and use

Installing the Smartbatten T2 involves partial replacement of a batten section. The system is designed to fit directly onto C-Tech CT25 battens, with other adapter sizes available on request. The sensor offers three operating modes (powered, extended use, off) and can be activated or deactivated remotely via the CYCLOPS app. Real-time batten tension monitoring is critical for racing sailboats from 40 to 80 feet, large monohulls or multihulls, and performance sails, enabling precise sail shape control and increased safety by preventing overloads.

Expert opinion

« Smartbatten T2: The precision tool for sail trimming »

The CYCLOPS Smartbatten T2 represents a significant advancement for performance sailors looking to fine-tune their sail trim. Its practical value lies in its ability to precisely quantify the tension of each batten, turning a subjective sensation into an objective and reproducible data point. For a racer, this means the ability to replicate quick adjustments and optimize mainsail performance based on conditions. For a performance cruiser, it is an essential safety tool to prevent overloading and extend sail life.

The integration of this sensor is designed to be discreet. Installation requires a minor modification to the existing batten, with the sensor inserted via an adapter and a compression block. While the process is straightforward for a professional, it is critical to ensure compatibility with the batten type (optimized for C-Tech CT25) and to cut the batten precisely. Wireless transmission via Bluetooth, directly to the app or through an NMEA2000 gateway, simplifies wiring and offers display flexibility on existing onboard systems.

This sensor stands out for its minimal weight and robustness, qualities essential to avoid altering the sail’s dynamic characteristics. It is particularly relevant for large sailboats (40-80 feet) where batten loads are significant and where precise trimming directly impacts speed and stability. Extended battery life in "napping" mode is a major advantage for long passages, reducing the need for frequent recharging without compromising access to essential data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the CYCLOPS Smartbatten T2 sensor and what is it used for?

The CYCLOPS Smartbatten T2 is a wireless compression sensor designed to directly and in real time measure the tension of sail battens. Its primary purpose is to help sailors optimize their sail trim and maintain reproducible batten tensions for consistent performance on the water.

How does the Smartbatten T2 transmit batten tension data?

The Smartbatten T2 transmits load data wirelessly in two main ways:

Directly to your smartphone: via Bluetooth to the CYCLOPS Smartfittings Manager app, available on iOS and Android.To the onboard instruments: via a dedicated gateway (sold separately), it can connect to instruments compatible with NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT.

What is the measurement accuracy of the Smartbatten T2 sensor?

The Smartbatten T2 sensor is calibrated with an accuracy of ±1% of the Maximum Working Load (MWL). This accuracy is guaranteed within a temperature range from -10°C to +40°C.

What is the maximum load that the Smartbatten T2 can measure?

The Smartbatten T2 sensor can measure compression loads up to 400 kg.

How to install the Smartbatten T2 sensor on my sail?

Installing the Smartbatten T2 requires partially replacing a batten section. The system is designed to fit directly onto CT22 battens but can also be adapted to other batten types if needed. For installation, the batten must be shortened to accommodate the sensor unit.

What is the battery life of the Smartbatten T2 and how do I recharge it?

The Smartbatten T2 is powered by a 0.925 Wh Lithium Polymer battery, offering several power modes:

Up to 80 days in "Powered on" mode (1 Hz frequency).Up to 500 days in "Extended use" mode (0.25 Hz frequency).Recharging is done via wireless induction and takes about 1 hour for a full charge.

What are the Smartbatten T2's construction materials?

Designed for demanding marine environments, the Smartbatten T2 is built with a Ti6Al4V titanium alloy body and a PC/ABS housing, ensuring robustness and durability.

Can I connect the Smartbatten T2 to my phone and my onboard instruments?

Yes, the Smartbatten T2 offers several connectivity options:

It connects directly to your smartphone (iOS or Android) via Bluetooth using the CYCLOPS Smartfittings Manager app. For integration with onboard instruments, a dedicated gateway (sold separately) relays data to systems compatible with NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT. Some third-party devices such as Sailmon and Vakaros Atlas 2 can display loads in real time without a gateway.

What happens if the Smartbatten T2 sensor is overloaded or subjected to a significant impact?

It is imperative not to exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the Smartbatten T2. Overloading, including shock loading or exceeding 150% of the Maximum Working Load (MWL), will cause permanent damage to the sensor and require recalibration, thereby voiding the warranty. Similarly, a significant impact on the Smartbatten body may affect its calibration and require return for inspection and recalibration.

Is the Smartbatten T2 mobile app compatible with all smartphones?

The CYCLOPS Smartfittings Manager application, required to view live data and manage the sensor, is available for iOS and Android operating systems. You can download it from the respective app platforms.
