Description
The Greenlee 00967 Deluxe Force Gauge is a cable
puller accessory intended to monitor the force developed
when cable is pulled into conduit. The 00967 includes
provisions for mounting of the Ultra Tugger™ Cable
Puller and the Ultra Tugger™ boom. If you want to use
the 00967 Deluxe Force Gauge with other cable pullers,
it must be installed to withstand the resistance of the
rope rolling across the five rollers.
Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY
ALERT
SYMBOL
This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards
or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or
property damage. The signal word, defined below,
indicates the severity of the hazard. The message
after the signal word provides information for
preventing or avoiding the hazard.
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL
result in severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in
severe injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,
MAY result in injury or property damage.
Read and understand all of the
instructions and safety information
in this manual before operating or
servicing this tool.
Failure to observe this warning can
result in severe injury or death.
Read and understand the instruction manual
supplied with your puller. Failure to follow instruc-
tions and safety information can result in severe
injury or death.

Electric shock hazard.
• Do not expose tool to rain or use
in wet or damp locations.
• Disconnect from power source
before servicing or dismantling
the gauge.
• Unplug the tool when not in use.
Failure to observe this warning can
result in severe injury or death.
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting this tool to a power source. Accidental
start-up can result in serious injury.
Keep hands away from rope and
rollers. Rope can crush a hand.
Failure to observe this warning can
result in severe injury or death.
Do not pull anything other than the pulling rope
through the force gauge. Metallic objects such as
pulling grips, clevises and wire rope will damage
the rollers.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in
damage to the force gauge.
Service should be performed by
an authorized Greenlee service
center only.

 00967 Deluxe Force Gauge

Principle of Operation
The 00967 Deluxe Force Gauge calculates pulling force
by measuring the tension of the rope. The accuracy of
this method is ± 5% of the pulling force.
The two outer rollers guide the rope into and out of the
force gauge, and provide 14 degrees of deflection. This
deflection in the rope path transfers 1/4 of the pulling
tension to the center roller.
The tension on the rope is measured at the center roller.
That roller presses against a load cell that sends an
electronic signal to the digital display unit. The display
unit multiplies the signal by 4 and shows the pulling
tension in pounds or kilograms.
To provide the highest accuracy, the force gauge has
been calibrated with the rollers in motion. When the pull
is stopped or the rope is relaxed, the displayed value
may be somewhat lower than the actual tension.

Setup / Installation
Install the force gauge roller assembly using one of the
two mounting adapters provided.
Mounting to Boom Assembly
1. See the manual supplied with the Ultra Tugger™.
After attaching a boom tube to the boom mount, see
Steps 2 - 5 to attach the boom/gauge mount. Then
finish setting up the cable puller.
2. See the illustration. Slide the boom/gauge mount
onto the boom tube. Position it about 4" from the
boom mount as shown.
3. Tighten the set screw.
4. Place the force gauge roller assembly onto the
gauge mount so that the tabs of the mount go
between the roller side plates, as shown.
5. Align the holes and insert the hitch pin.
Mounting to the Ultra Tugger™
1. See the manual supplied with the Ultra Tugger™.
Set up the cable puller with the chain mount, pipe
sheave adapter, or floor mount.
2. See the illustration. Position the puller/gauge mount
between the side plates of the puller. Align the holes
as shown.
3. Insert the hitch pin through the holes.
4. Secure the hitch pin with a hitch pin clip.
5. Place the roller assembly onto the puller/gauge
mount so that one side plate of roller assembly fits
into the U-shaped slot of the mount. Align the holes
as shown.
6. Insert the hitch pin through the holes.

Setup / Installation
Installing the Rope Electrical Connection
1. Remove the hitch pin clips. 1. Plug the patch cable into the load pin.
2. Remove the hitch pins. 2. Twist the front of the connector clockwise to lock it
3. Remove the outer rollers. in place.
4. Lay the rope over the three inner rollers. 3. Plug the other end of the patch cable into the back
of the digital display unit. Turn the locking nut
5. Replace the outer rollers. clockwise to lock.
6. Replace the hitch pins. 4. Plug the digital display into a 115 VAC receptacle.
7. Replace the hitch pin clips. 5. Use the MAIN POWER toggle switch to turn the
display unit ON. The display will show “RST” fol-
lowed by “STRN” followed by the force reading.
Allow the unit to warm up for 5 minutes.
Note: If the optional strip recorder is used, you may plug
it into the receptacle at the back of the digital display
unit. Use the REAR POWER toggle switch to apply
power to that receptacle.

Operation
The front panel has five keys: With no load on the rope, the display should read “0”
SETPTS (setpoints): not used (± 4.5 kg or 10 lbs). Slight variations as the unit sits idle
are normal.
NT/GRS (net/gross): Press to recall the peak force
reading. If the display is off by more than 4.5 kg or 10 lbs, press
TARE to reset the zero point.
TARE: Press to zero the display.
Press the NT/GRS key at any point during or after the
MENU: Press to enter the configuration/calibration mode. pull to view the peak reading. The peak reading will flash
RESET: Press to reset the peak or tare readings. on the display. Press NT/GRS again to return to the
present force reading.
To reset the peak reading, press RESET while the peak
reading is flashing on the display.
Note: See the Strain Gage Meter manual for more
information.

Configuration
Under normal circumstances it is not necessary to enter the configuration mode. Directions for this can be found in the
Strain Gage Meter operator’s manual supplied.
To display kilograms instead of pounds change the value for: “RD.S.O., RD2” to 2268
“OT.S.O., RD2” to 3629
In the event any of the default values set by the factory are changed by accident, the Greenlee default values are
listed below.
