1.1 How it works

The iGurt is an easy-to-use electronic lashing strap monitoring system which is intended to be used as a support

system for checking load security. The device is ﬁtted on a lashing strap, measuring its tensioning force. The ten-

sioning force of the strap when lashed is shown directly on the device on an LED display. Furthermore, the iGurt

uses Bluetooth to communicate with its corresponding app, which can be used to carry out other functions. In this

way, the tensioning forces can also be monitored during the journey. Every iGurt in range is displayed in the app

along with their current tensioning force and a summary view of the information. The app is also equipped with an

alarm which is triggered if the tensioning force of a lashing strap falls below a critical level during transport, which

could mean that the lashing strap has slipped out of place, loosened or broken. In such a case, the journey must be

paused as quickly as possible and the load's security must be checked and ensured.

1.2 System components

iGurt

• The force display is located on the top of the iGurt.

It is made up of seven LEDs and a daN scale so

that a reading of the tensioning force can be taken.

• An identiﬁcation number (ID), which serves as a

unique identiﬁer for the device, can also be found

on the top of the iGurt. The last two numbers of

the ID are displayed again, separately and more

prominently. In the app, both of these numbers are

also clearly visible on the tile for each respective

iGurt. In this way, the devices can be quickly be

associated with their corresponding ﬁgures in the

app.

• The locking system is on the right-hand side, comprising of a locking spring and locking bolts which can be

used to lift up the iGurt so that the device can be mounted on the lashing strap or the battery compartment can

be opened.

• Three AAA batteries are inserted into the device. The battery compartment can only be opened when the iGurt is

in its folded-out state.

iGurt-compatible lashing strap

The iGurt is used in combination with a corresponding lashing

strap which has been designed speciﬁcally for use with the iGurt.

This can be obtained from BPW. The iGurt sits on the belt clip

underneath the ratchet buckle and usually stays mounted there

for the entire life cycle of the lashing strap. When the lashing strap

is replaced, the iGurt can be dismounted and put onto the new

lashing strap. The tensioning force sensor may be distorted when

used with lashing straps that are not compatible.

BPW therefore assumes no liability for other lashing straps which are not compatible with the iGurt.

iGurt app

The app is available in the Google Play Store under "BPW iGurt - the intelligent load securing system". If you do not

have access to the Play Store, the APK (App installation ﬁle) is also available at www.iGurt.de.

Important: When you install the app, please ensure that any previous versions of the iGurt app have been

deleted from the end device. Otherwise, it may not be possible to install the app.

Download the app from the Google Play Store and install it on your smartphone. The app is intuitive and straightfor-

ward to use. The basic app is free of charge. Its usage will be explained in chapter 7. Furthermore, it is also possi-

ble to install the app as an APK. This is available at iGurt.de.

Please observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid damage to persons or property. Improper use and

failure to observe usage and safety instructions may result, among other things, in damage to or loss of cargo,

other damages to property, risks to other road users, trac accidents and personal injuries. The iGurt is an infor-

mation system and is currently not exempt from statutory provisions.

• Keep the device away from heat and open ﬂames.

• Avoid dropping the device.

• Aside from the detachable parts (locking bolts, battery compartment lid and batteries), do not take the device

apart.

• Only use original parts and kits from BPW (iGurt replacement parts) or qualiﬁed partners (lashing straps). Only

use the recommended tools, as described in the corresponding BPW instructions.

• When using the iGurt, only use lashing straps which are speciﬁcally designed and designated for use with the

iGurt. These lashing straps are explicitly labelled as being compatible with the iGurt and may be obtained from

BPW or other qualiﬁed partners.

Note: in accordance with VDI guidelines, the ﬁxed and loose ends of a lashing strap set must always be used

together. Exchange the whole set periodically in order to avoid risks caused by wear and tear to the lashing strap.

• Please note the instructions listed in Section 4 regarding the proper installation of the iGurt on the lashing strap.

The tensioning force sensor can only be secured in the designated area ("iGurt here").

• The use of the iGurt is not exempt from statutory provisions and the sole responsibility for proper, appropri-

ate and sucient load securing. The iGurt is only a support system and is not a replacement for accurate load

securing. It is both the driver's and the loading agent's sole responsibility to ensure that a load has been ap-

propriately secured, even if the iGurt system does not display any warnings, alarms or errors. Always check the

tension of the lashing straps yourself and ensure that are properly installed and that there is a sucient number

for the load.

• The iGurt system does not indicate a correct, minimum or required tensioning force. The appropriate amount of

adjusted tensioning force always depends on the loading situation; you must calculate this yourself. Too low of a

tensioning force could result in the load not being secured suciently, too high of a tensioning force could lead

to damages to the load. Both cases could result in damages to property or persons.

Note: the minimum required tensioning force fundamentally depends on the mass of the load, the number of

lashing straps used per load, the friction between the load and the loading area and the angle of the lashing

straps.

• Before departure, make sure that the iGurt has not been damaged and that the locking bolt is fully inserted and

secured.

• The iGurt must not collide with parts of the load or the vehicle in any loading situation in order to avoid dangers

or damages. If it cannot be guaranteed that collisions will not occur, dismount the iGurt and use the respective

lashing strap without the iGurt for this journey.

• When extracting the locking bolt in particular, make sure that there is nothing close to you in order to avoid colli-

sions due to sudden movements. There is a risk of injury if the hand and ratchet buckle collide.

• Only open the battery compartment lid using objects that are suitable for use as a lever tool to unfasten the bat-

tery compartment lid (e.g. one-pence or ﬁve-pence piece) as there is a higher risk of injury if the snap-in clasp

hook is unfastened by hand (e.g. ripping or breaking of ﬁngernails).

Installing the iGurt 4

[6] The installation of the iGurt on the lashing strap is

now complete. The lashing strap may now be used

as intended and in compliance with its applicable

guidelines. To dismount the iGurt from the lashing

strap, proceed in the same way as steps [1] to [3].

[5] Now, fully reinsert the locking bolt so that the

locking springs are engaged and the locking bolt

is secured. Squeeze the iGurt a little to align the

holes of both halves of the hinge and to make it

easier to insert the bolt.

[4] Position the iGurt just above the marked area on

the lashing strap and ﬂip the iGurt shut. Please en-

sure that only the top of both pieces of the lashing

strap are inside the iGurt.

5 Changing the batteries

[3] Completely remove the battery compartment lid

and place aside.

[2] Open the snap-in clasp hook to open the battery

lid. Use a coin or another similar object as a lever-

ing tool to help to bend the snap-in hook upwards.

Carry out the steps described in the following section

to change the batteries. To open the battery lid, it is

necessary to use a one-pence or ﬁve-pence piece or a

similar object as a levering tool as injuries to the ﬁngers

and ﬁngernails cannot be excluded if a levering tool is

not used.

[1] Remove the locking bolt and lift the iGurt up. Pro-

ceed with this as per chapter 4 (steps [1] to [3]).

[6] Now press the battery lid down until the snap-in

clasp hooks click into place.

[5] Replace the battery compartment lid. To do this,

ﬁrst insert both locking elements of the battery

compartment lid into their designated slots.

[4] Now remove the batteries (3 x AAA), clean the bat-

tery contacts and paying careful attention to the

correct polarity of the new batteries when inserting

them (direction of insertion).

After inserting the last battery, the system will

automatically calibrate.

Make sure that the device is not moved for a few

seconds after this and, above all else, make sure

that the load cell located near the battery compart-

ment is not disturbed. Otherwise, there is a danger

that the calibration will be distorted and the device

will return false measurements.

If you are unsure about this, remove and reinsert

the batteries to repeat the calibration process. Picture 12

6 Operating the iGurt

7 Using the iGurt app

6 Operating the iGurt

• After installing the iGurt on the lashing strap, it may be used like a conventional lashing strap in compliance with

the safety and usage instructions.

• Compared to the conventional means of securing cargo with lashing straps, no additional operating steps are

necessary when using the iGurt. The device detects if a lashing strap process has begun and powers itself up.

Similarly, the device detects when the lashing strap has been unravelled at the end of a journey and turns itself

o. It is not possible to turn the device on or o or otherwise control it manually.

• As soon as the lashing strap process begins, the LED display on the device powers itself up. The reading for the

current tensioning force can now be taken. The display should be interpreted as follows: a ﬂashing LED means

that the amount of tensioning force is higher than the value next to it. The force is displayed in decanewtons

(1 daN = 10 N). After the lashing strap process has ended, the display will turn itself o.

• Make sure that the remaining loose end of the lashing strap is still hanging underneath and that it runs through

the middle of the iGurt before the ratchet buckle is closed after the lashing strap process has ended in order

to prevent the strap material from becoming jammed in the ratchet buckle or between the iGurt and the ratchet

buckle.

Note: the lashing strap is only secure when the ratchet buckle is completely shut and the safety-mechanism is

engaged.

7 Using the iGurt app

The app automatically detects every iGurt in range, shows how many there are

and depicts each iGurt as a tile in the summary view.

The short ID and current amount of tensioning force is shown in each tile.

A green tile means that the loss of

tensioning force lies in a normal

range.

The yellow battery symbol indicates

that the iGurt's battery level is low.

A grey tile shows that the iGurt does

not detect any tensioning force.

A red tile indicates a critical loss of

tensioning force.

When a red tile appears, an audible

alarm is simultaneously triggered.

In such cases, pause the journey

as quickly as possible and check

whether the load is secure.
