Abstract: Tension monitoring is described using a sensor which may exhibit an offset for which compensation may be provided to produce a zero voltage amplified output or to increase dynamic range. An arrangement determines whether a power reset is responsive to a battery bounce such that an initially-measured system start-up parameter can be retained. The start-up parameter is automatically saved at start-up if the power reset is responsive to a start-up from a shut-down condition. The start-up parameter may be a zero tension amplified output responsive to the sensor offset at zero tension. Protection of a tension data set is provided such that no opportunity for altering the data set is presented prior to transfer of the data set. A housing configuration forms part of an electrical power circuit for providing electrical power to an electronics package from a battery.

Abstract: A tension monitoring apparatus is used for installing an underground utility by retraction that is applied to the utility. The tension monitoring apparatus includes a sensor for inground sensing of the tension force that is applied to the utility to produce a sensor signal. A processor monitors the tension force in a series of measurement intervals such that a plurality of tension force readings is generated for each of the measurement intervals. The processor stores a data set including a maximum tension force selected from the plurality of tension force readings for each one of the measurement intervals and copies the data set to a different location to create a copied data set after installation of the utility for subsequent selection and presentation of an overall maximum tension force.

Abstract translation: 使用可以表现出可以提供补偿以产生零电压放大输出或增加动态范围的偏移的传感器描述张力监测。 一种布置确定电源复位是否响应于电池反弹，使得可以保持初始测量的系统启动参数。 如果电源复位响应于关闭条件下的启动，启动参数将在启动时自动保存。 启动参数可以是响应于零张力处的传感器偏移的零拉伸放大输出。 提供张力数据集的保护，使得在传送数据集之前不提供改变数据集的机会。 壳体配置形成用于从电池向电子组件提供电力的电力电路的一部分。
