What size sheaves should be purchased?

It makes sense to take advantage of the range for the sheaves. Most customers can make do with one set of sheaves for the entire assortment of wires they tension by installing the sheave set that matches the largest diameter cable being used. If a customer checks tension in both 3/4" and 3/16" rope, then they should order two sheave sets, sheave code “L” & “S”. The operator must use the appropriate sheave set for the wire size and calibration stored. Changing sheave sets takes about two minutes with the included wrench.
