Cyclops Marine smarttoggle 4.5t (12mm) – Wireless Load Sensor

The Cyclops Marine smarttoggle 4.5t (12mm) is a high-precision wireless load sensor, designed to enhance furling consistency and safety by providing real-time luff tension monitoring. By allowing sailors to hit the same load every time, the smarttoggle ensures repeatable, smooth furls for Code Zeros and asymmetric spinnakers, reducing the risk of uneven wraps and improving overall sail handling. Manufactured from high-strength aluminium, it is one of the lightest, strongest, and most compact load sensors available, delivering ±1% accuracy with minimal weight impact on the rig.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Consistent Luff Tension for Reliable Furling – Achieve a repeatable, perfect furl every time by maintaining precise luff tension, reducing the chance of uneven wrapping and improving sail longevity.

✅ Lightweight & Strong Construction – Made from Al6082-T6 aluminium, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight performance without adding unnecessary bulk.

✅ Wireless Load Monitoring – Accurately measures loads with ±1% accuracy of the Maximum Working Load (MWL), ensuring precise tension adjustments for optimal performance.

✅ Intuitive Installation – Easily installs inline between the flying sail furler and sail cable with an intuitive pin lock mechanism, ensuring a secure and quick setup.

✅ Seamless Connectivity – Connects via Bluetooth to the Cyclops Marine app for real-time load tracking, or integrates with onboard systems through the Cyclops Marine Gateway for advanced monitoring and data logging.

✅ Extended Battery Life – Provides up to 2,000 hours in standard mode and 8,000 hours in extended use mode, with a 2-year battery life in powered-off mode, ensuring long-term reliability.

✅ Wireless Charging – Charges effortlessly using a Cyclops wireless charging pad, with LED indicators for clear charge status updates.

✅ Marine-Grade Durability – Built with an IP68-rated waterproof housing, ensuring durability in harsh marine environments.

How the smarttoggle 4.5t Improves Your Sailing

The smarttoggle 4.5t is a must-have for sailors looking to enhance furling system performance and safety, making it ideal for:

✔ Flying sail furlers – Ensures consistent, reliable furls for Code Zeros and asymmetric spinnakers.

✔ Code sails & staysails – Provides real-time load data to optimise rigging loads and sail handling.

✔ Performance cruising & racing yachts – Enables precise, repeatable tension settings for peak performance.

Safety & Reliability

• Overload Protection: Do not exceed 150% of MWL, as this may cause permanent sensor damage and require recalibration.
• Calibration: After extended use under load, allow 1-2 minutes for the sensor to return to zero when unloaded.
