ESPLANADE THEATERS
“ We have been using the Ron Stage Master 6000 ( RSM ) wireless load monitoring system here at Esplanade Theatres on the Bay since April 2008 . Our system of 16 load cells has been used for the monitoring of loads in most of our venues , indoor and outdoor . The RSM 6000 has become a useful tool that gives us the ability to know what is going on in our rigs , no guessing , or calculating , regardless of the type of production or the rigging methods being used .
Our RSM 6000 has been used in a wide range of applications from monitoring loads in our Roof Truss System , checking the tensions in guy lines , establishing and monitoring loads in human flying systems , determining how heavy “ that ” set piece is before it is hung and even checking the weights of flight cases before shipping . I have also used the system on several occasions to assist in the designing and testing of complex load sharing systems . The accuracy of the RSM allows you to test on a smaller scale , to be certain of the loads , forces and methods , before moving up to the real thing .
The RSM 6000 gives our riggers easy access to the information they need and the wireless system saves time by not needing to run cables , and finding the wrong connection has been made . You just put the cell in line , on the point you need and RSM does the rest .”
