Nice setup! Congrats. Hopefully you can demonstrate to your wife the justification of this purchase. Looks like your machine is on a stand. For $10-$20 you can get a foot pedal at your local music store (the official one costs about $40).

Mrs Swansea: "will you turn off all that Damn beeping!" I've gone full stealth now, drop weight and flying clamps. Very nice though.
You can kill the beeps on the WISE... but the motor still screams bloody murder - it's no PT8, that's for certain.
So does that mean you have to keep your foot on the pedal whilst pulling tension? I assume you don't have to keep your foot on it but it seems non-logical. A momentary switch only works when your foot is on the pedal right?
only when the wise does the "test" are you required to keep your foot on the pedal. Engaging and disengaging the tensioner requires only releasing pressure off the pedal once you stepped on it. (ie. tap the pedal). If you keep your foot on the pedal, the moment your foot is off the pedal is when the tensioner engages/disengages. I hope that clarifies it. Maybe i should add a video onto my youtube channel to demonstrate this.
Indeed - your hand is pretty much already there when you close the grippers. The pedal made some sense with the old "touch strip" switch.
So, after a couple years of using the WISE, I just noticed that the area filled with dots above the tension display screen is actually a button that activates the tensioner. Pretty crazy considering I've probably strung hundreds and hundreds of rackets using the WISE without noticing that!
Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I was thinking of buying a Wise 2086 to upgrade my old Eagnas machine. It was originally a Flex740 drop weight machine that I upgraded with an Eagnas electronic tension head several years ago. I tuned the Flex base over to double check the holes to see if the adapter plate for the 2086 would line up to the Flex base.......and looks like there is only one hole mounting the Eagnas electronic head to the base. Looks like the adapter plate for the Wise has 2. Does this mean I cannot upgrade then?
