Body Protection: Aluminum capacities are anodized. Alloy
steel capacities are electroless-nickel plated.
Bearings: Unmatched repeatability attained by needle
bearings in shackle pin holes up to LTL 730 10K. Shackle
pin acts as inner race.
Shackles: Forged industry standard anchor shackles.
Models up to LTL 730 10K use precision machined shackle
pin. Higher capacities use forged pin.

digits 1.0” (26mm) high plus annunciators and softkeys.
Digits are .11 inches (7mm) thick for unmatched readability.
Display update rate: 2 times per second.
Connector: Recessed sealed connector may be used for
serial communications or connection to a Communicator
remote.
RS-232 / RS-485 communication: Print or extract data
easily. Continuous output can drive a scoreboard.
Configurable poll character.
Calibration: Traceable to the National Institute of
Standards and Technology. Certificate included with curve
of readings. Passes only with three consecutive confirming
runs, with all points in specification.
Battery life: 320 hours typical use with two C-cell alkaline
batteries. 40 hours typical with Radio Link system.
Operating temperature: -4° F to 140° F (-20° to 60° C).
Included with instrument: Carry case, batteries, manual
and certificate of calibration. LTL 730 50K and LTL 730
100K with shackles include shackle crate and spacers.
Options: Shackles. 2.4 GHz radio board. Display backlight.
Approval: FCC ID: KQL-PKLR2400
CAN ID: CAN2268391158A
CE #: 89/336/EEC, 98/37/EEC, EN61000-4
Registration: 595129
Communicator Specifications

Suitable for protected outdoor use.
Instrument size: 9.0 x 4.6 x 1.8 inch (228 x 117 x 45mm).
Accuracy: Not applicable. Only sends and receives digital
information.
Display: 128 x 64 dot-graphic LCD display can show full
readings up to 5 instruments.
Battery life: 60 hours wireline, 20 hours radio using four AA
alkaline batteries under typical use.
Operating temperature: -4° F to 140° F (-20° to 60° C).
Connectors: Sealed connectors may be used for serial
communications and wired connection to an LTL 730
dynamometer.
RS-232 communication: Print or extract data easily.
Continuous output can drive a scoreboard. Configurable poll
character.
Included with remote: Carry case and batteries.
Accessories: Rubberized case protector sleeve. Remote
wall mount bracket. Serial and remote cable assemblies.
Radio Specifications
FCC Certified: For unlicensed low power devices. No radio
licensing or permits required for normal operation.* (In the
US and Canada. Check local ordinances in other countries.)
Frequency: 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum operates between
2.402 – 2.478 GHz. Continuously and automatically changes
frequencies many times per second for consistent, reliable
communications.
Output Level: 10 mW (20 dBm)
Display Update Rate: 2 times per second with single
dynamometer. Multi-instrument networks result in reduced
updates.
Number of networks: 63 remotes can operate
independently in the same airspace with unique channels.
Number of links remote can control: Up to 15 addresses
are available per network channel.
Configuration: Address and Network channels are front
panel configurable.
Antenna: Integral antenna.
Range: Open-air – Up to 300 feet, line-of-sight.
Indoors – Dependent upon installation site with 150 feet
common.
2.0 SAFE OPERATION
If you overload this dynamometer you could suffer severe injuries or death. The
total load on the dynamometer should NEVER exceed the rated capacity!
CAUTION: Remove batteries from instrument when using the external AC power
supply.
Keep all the following in mind as you use the LTL 730 dynamometer.
The system capacity is equal to the rating of the dynamometers. The shackle rating should not be used to
determine lift capacity of the system.
The shackles are rated in metric tons. Thus the 12-ton shackles are rated to 26,450 lbf and are suitable for use
on the 25,000 lbf dynamometer.
