Detailed description

Designed for rigging on large vessels, the CYCLOPS Smarttune² 1" is a wireless load sensor turnbuckle that replaces existing turnbuckles. It provides real-time load data essential for optimizing headsail shape, rig balance, and achieving repeatable settings. Its design allows for easy retrofit installation without complex modifications or dismasting.

Measurement and Accuracy

With a 1-inch thread size, the Smarttune² 1" is suited for high-load applications on monohulls and multihulls up to 60 feet. It offers a maximum working load (MWL) of 12 tonnes (12 000 kg) and a nominal breaking load (NBL) of 22 tonnes (22 000 kg). Measurement accuracy is ±1% of MWL within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C. The sensor provides data for fatigue monitoring and load cycle history analysis, enabling rigging lifespan assessment.

Connectivity and Integration

The CYCLOPS Smarttune² 1" wirelessly connects to a smartphone via the Smartfittings app using Bluetooth technology. It is also compatible with marine electronics systems such as Vakaros Atlas 2 and Sailmon MAX (directly, without a gateway) or other systems via an optional Cyclops gateway, enabling live data streaming and recording. The Smartfittings app displays live loads, records data for post-sail analysis, adjusts data frequency (up to 10Hz), and manages sensor status. The optional gateway outputs data via NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT, and can handle up to 50 sensors with IP54 waterproofing.

Design and Durability

The sensor measures 400 x 68 x 40 mm and weighs 1.9 kg. Its housing is rated IP68 for water resistance, ensuring durability in marine environments. It is constructed from 316L stainless steel body with brass threaded inserts and an Acetal housing. The Smarttune² 1" is powered by internal rechargeable batteries, offering up to 8 000 hours of battery life in extended mode and 2 000 hours in active mode. Charging is wireless via a Cyclops charging base.

Expert opinion

« CYCLOPS Smarttune² 1": Rig load analysis for large vessels »

The CYCLOPS Smarttune² 1" represents a strategic solution for performance sailboat owners and large vessels (monohulls and multihulls up to 60 feet) where precise rig load management is a key performance and safety factor. With a 12-tonne capacity, this version is specifically designed for critical high-rigging components such as stays and backstays, where loads are at their highest.

Beyond real-time measurement, the load data collected enables fatigue monitoring and analysis of load cycle history, which is a major asset. This allows for a proactive approach to rig maintenance, replacing components based on actual usage and stress data rather than estimates. The ability to log load cycles provides insight into the residual life of components, optimizing costs and enhancing safety by preventing unexpected failures.

Retrofit installation is simplified by its turnbuckle format and wireless connectivity, avoiding extensive mast or deck wiring work. For full integration into a navigation system, adding a Cyclops gateway is recommended, enabling centralized load data via NMEA2000 and enriching overall boat performance analysis. Powered by internal rechargeable batteries—unlike the AAA batteries in smaller models—it offers up to 8,000 hours of autonomy in extended mode and simplified maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the maximum load that the Smarttune² 1" sensor can measure?

The Smarttune² 1" sensor is designed for high-load applications. Its maximum working load (MWL) is 12 tonnes (12,000 kg). The nominal breaking load (NBL) is 22 tonnes (22,000 kg).

For which types of vessels is the Smarttune² 1" suitable?

The Smarttune² 1" is suited for monohulls and multihulls up to 60 feet. It is specifically designed for high-load applications on these rig types.

How does the Smarttune² 1" connect to the boat's electronic systems or mobile devices?

The Smarttune² 1" connects wirelessly to a smartphone via the Smartfittings app using Bluetooth technology. It is also directly compatible with marine electronic systems such as Vakaros Atlas 2 and Sailmon MAX without requiring a bridge. For other systems, an optional Cyclops bridge allows data output via NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT.

What is the measurement accuracy of the Smarttune² 1" sensor?

The Smarttune² 1" sensor provides a measurement accuracy of ±1% of its calibrated maximum working load (MWL) within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C.

How to install the Smarttune² 1" on my rigging?

Installing the Smarttune² 1" is designed as a simple retrofit, replacing an existing turnbuckle. The general steps include:

Fully slack the backstay and mainsheet, and if applicable, remove mast wedges and unstep the mast.Secure a halyard to a fixed point near the chainplate and tension it to relieve the rigging.Measure the length of the existing turnbuckle as a reference.Secure the turnbuckle with a rope, then unscrew the existing turnbuckle.Apply anti-seize paste to the threads of the Smarttune².Screw the Smarttune² onto the turnbuckle stud, making 3 full turns counterclockwise, then continue tightening until reaching the reference measurement.Reinstall split pins or Velcro, then remove safety ropes and halyards.If a bridge is used, it is recommended to follow its installation guide first.

What information does the Smartfittings app provide for the Smarttune² 1"?

The Smartfittings application enables real-time load display, data recording for post-sailing analysis, adjustment of data frequency (up to 10Hz), and sensor status management. It can also log data for later analysis and display a live load graph of the sensor.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Smarttune² 1"?

The Smarttune² 1" has dimensions of 68x400x40mm and a weight of 1.9 kg. Its design aims for low windage.

What can void the Smarttune² 1" warranty?

The Smarttune² 1" warranty may be void if the maximum working load (MWL) is exceeded. An overload at 150% of the calibrated load can cause permanent damage to the sensor, requiring recalibration and voiding the warranty. Additionally, unscrewing or removing fasteners other than those possibly needed for maintenance may damage the sensor and void the warranty.

Can the Smarttune² 1" be used to monitor rigging fatigue?

Yes, the Smarttune² 1" sensor provides data for monitoring fatigue and analyzing load cycle history. This information is essential for assessing the rigging's lifespan.
