Detailed description

Designed for high-performance sailing, the CYCLOPS Smartlink² 5t ee is a wireless load sensor for eye-to-eye or shaft-to-shaft connections. It provides real-time load data, essential for racing sailboats, offshore rigging, and high-stress one-designs. Its titanium construction combines lightness and robustness for efficient integration into existing rigging systems.

Accuracy and performance

The Smartlink² 5t ee offers a maximum load capacity of 5,000 kg (5 tonnes) with an accuracy of ±1% of the working load limit (WLL) within a temperature range of -10°C to +40°C. Its titanium body (Ti6Al4V) and PC/ABS housing ensure resistance and durability suited to the marine environment. The sensor is waterproof with IP68 certification, guaranteeing prolonged immersion without compromising performance.

Connectivity and data analysis

This sensor transmits load data in real time via Bluetooth to the Cyclops Smartfittings app on a smartphone. For full integration with onboard systems, it can connect via an optional bridge gateway to compatible marine displays (B&G, Garmin, NKE, Sailmon, etc.), supporting NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT interfaces. The data transmission frequency is adjustable from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz via the app. Data can be logged for post-race analysis, enabling continuous optimization of rigging settings and better understanding of rigging stresses. The Smartlink² 5t ee is equipped with a 0.925 Wh lithium polymer battery offering up to 8,000 hours of autonomy in low-power mode and charges wirelessly in 1 hour.

Expert opinion

« Expert analysis: CYCLOPS Smartlink² 5t ee, rig performance and safety »

The CYCLOPS Smartlink² 5t ee load cell is a key instrument for demanding sailors, particularly those sailing on racing sailboats or vessels requiring precise rigging tension monitoring. Its titanium construction, a material renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio, is a major asset, minimizing impact on the rig’s dynamic performance while ensuring robustness against mechanical and marine environmental stresses. With a 5-tonne capacity and ±1% accuracy, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, from shrouds to halyards, including backstays and tangon guys.

Its integration is simplified by its eye-to-eye/axis-to-axis design, allowing installation in-line with standard shackles or pins. The option for direct Bluetooth connection to a smartphone app is convenient for quick adjustments at the dock or underway. However, for full integration and data display on the onboard electronics (NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183), adding a Cyclops gateway is required. This architecture offers flexible integration, allowing users to choose their desired level of connectivity. Real-time load monitoring is critical not only for sail trim optimization and performance repeatability but also for safety, helping prevent overloads and structural failures, especially in harsh conditions. Battery life and wireless charging contribute to simplified maintenance and consistent long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the CYCLOPS Smartlink² 5t ee load sensor used for?

The CYCLOPS Smartlink² 5t ee is a wireless load cell designed for eye-to-eye or shaft-to-shaft connections. It provides real-time load data, essential for optimizing performance in racing sailboats, offshore rigging, and one-design classes under high stress.

What is the maximum load capacity and accuracy of the Smartlink² 5t ee?

The Smartlink² 5t ee load cell has a maximum load capacity of 5,000 kg (5 tonnes). It provides an accuracy of ±1% of the working load limit (WLL) within a temperature range of -10°C to +40°C.

What materials is the sensor made of and is it waterproof?

The sensor body is made of titanium (Ti6Al4V), while its housing is in PC/ABS. This combination provides lightness and robustness. It is IP68 certified, ensuring waterproofing and resistance to prolonged immersion in a marine environment.

How does the Smartlink² 5t ee load sensor transmit load data?

The sensor transmits load data in real time in two ways:

Directly via Bluetooth to the Cyclops Smartfittings app on your smartphone (iOS and Android).Via an optional gateway box to compatible marine displays (B&G, Garmin, NKE, Sailmon, etc.), supporting NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, NKE, UDP and MQTT interfaces.

What is the battery life and how to recharge the sensor?

The sensor is equipped with a 0.925 Wh lithium polymer battery. Its battery life can reach up to 8,000 hours in low-power mode (Extended use at 0.25Hz) and 2,000 hours in normal mode (Powered on at 1Hz). The sensor recharges wirelessly in approximately 1 hour.

How to properly install the Smartlink² 5t ee sensor on my rigging?

The Smartlink² 5t ee sensor is designed to be installed inline with eye-to-eye or pin-to-pin fittings, such as shackles or other pin-based configurations. It is recommended to use shackles or pins made of 17-4 PH stainless steel with a diameter matching the sensor’s holes to ensure optimal accuracy. For the 5t ee (SE02) model, the recommended pin diameter is 19 mm.

Can I use soft shackles or strops with the Smartlink² 5t ee?

No, the Smartlink² 5t ee sensor is not recommended for use with soft shackles or slings. It is specifically designed for use with rigid eye-to-eye or pin-to-pin fittings.

What happens if the Smartlink² 5t ee sensor is overloaded?

Exceeding the maximum working load limit (WLL) of the sensor can damage its internal instrumentation. An overload exceeding 150% of the WLL or a significant impact may cause permanent damage and require recalibration of the device. In such cases, accuracy could be affected.

What features does the Cyclops Smartfittings application offer for data monitoring?

The Cyclops Smartfittings app, available on iOS and Android, allows you to:

View loads in real time. Change display units and the number of significant figures. Consult statistics (minimum, maximum, average) and averages over 1, 10, and 30 minutes. Save session data for post-race analysis, with export in .csv format including local time and GPS data. Adjust data transmission frequency from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz. Use the "Load Talk" feature to hear loads via headphones.

Does the Smartlink² 5t ee sensor require any special maintenance or regular recalibration?

The only maintenance required is wireless recharging of the sensor using the supplied charger. It is recommended to power off the sensor during long periods of inactivity. Recalibration may be necessary if the sensor sustains significant impact or overload (over 150% of the WLL), or if it has been under load for an extended period and does not return to zero after unloading. Do not attempt to repair the sensor yourself.
