  • the tensioning operation comprises a step of setting to zero a reference position of the dispenser carriage when the stop is returned to the start of the stroke following the second movement of the dispenser carriage.
  • the tensioning operation is carried out on the single front strand of the distribution cable 9, which is the one which passes through the arrowhead. Also, once the desired increase in voltage has been reached, it is advantageous to move the distributor trolley 1 forwards (towards the arrowhead) by an average value equal to half the length of the coiled distribution cable 9, then backwards, to distribute the tension between the front strand and the back strand. This movement can be done automatically at the end of the tensioning operation.
  • the tensioning operation makes it possible to automatically reset the “zero range” of the dispenser trolley 1 which corresponds to the reference position of the dispenser trolley to determine its position along the arrow. With the automation of this readjustment, the risk of error on this reference position is eliminated and the range indication will always remain accurate and reliable.
  • the tension adjustment system which as a reminder comprises the mechanical adjustment device 2, the distribution winch and the control unit, makes it possible to control remotely (possibly in an automated manner by means of an autopilot module. ), the movement of the distributor carriage 1, and thus act on the mechanical adjustment device 2, via the first stop element 4 or the second stop element 5 previously fixed on the distributor boom, to provide a release of the tension in the distributor cable 9 or an increase in tension in the distributor cable 9.
