smartlink Guide
Product Description
smartlinks are wireless load sensors, manufactured in titanium to be the lightest, strongest and smallest load sensors on the
market. Designed in collaboration with leading race teams, smartlink will help you measure and repeat your fast settings
every time.
How it works…
Simply add inline of any ‘soft’ stay or sheet. Easily connect the sensor to your phone via the latest smartphone app or to
marine electronics via optional smartfittings gateway for immediate load data.
Correct loading with soft lines
smartlink is designed to be loaded inline with soft
lines/rope/strops, for the most accurate load
measurement. If smartlink is loaded in a bridle
configuration the displayed load will be inaccurate.
Figure 1 Incorrect and correct strop loading
Use of metal shackles/pins directly on smartlink is not
advised as it may mark the titanium body and could cause
permanent damage.
Strops
The strops used for final calibration are built using wound
Dyneema cored basket loops, to the below finished
diameter. Cyclops Marine recommends using strops built to
this diameter to achieve the stated ±1% of maximum
working load (MWL) accuracy.
Contact us for pricing and availability of strops.

Safety
Please read all instructions before using smartlink to
measure loads. Always perform a safety evaluation before
use to ensure that use of the sensor is not dangerous to
nearby people or property.
smartlink is not intended to support personnel working
aloft. Please follow all standard working aloft safety
procedures.
Overload
The MWL of a smartlink must not be exceeded, as this may
cause damage to the internal instrumentation and will
invalidate the warranty.
SHOCK LOADING (i.e. strop failure) OR OVERLOADING TO
150% OF MWL WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO
THE SENSOR THAT WILL REQUIRE RECALIBRATION
Calibration
If smartlink has been under load for a significant length of
time, the sensor may take 1-2 minutes to return to zero
when the load is removed. This is to be expected.
A significant impact to the body of the sensor can affect the
calibration. This would require the device to be returned to
Cyclops for inspection and re-calibration.
smartpower button
To maximise battery life, the sensor will be powered on for
different lengths of time depending on how many times the
power button is pressed. A single firm button press will
result in a single light flash.

Changing the CR2032 battery
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE BATTERY COVER SEAL WILL
RESULT IN WATER INGRESS & PERMANENT DAMAGE NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Cyclops recommends Renata batteries for maximum
battery life and performance.
The sensor will show 0.00 as the load (even when under
load) when the batteries need to be replaced.
Cyclops recommends removal of the battery from the
device and storage of the sensor in a cool, dry place away
from direct sunlight during extended periods of time where
it is not expected to be used.
Please dispose of used batteries responsibly.
Removing battery & cover
Use a coin that fills the battery cover slot and twist the coin
until the battery cover pops out and comes completely free.
If necessary, free the battery with a gentle tap to the
opposite face of the sensor.
Replace the CR2032 battery with equivalent. Do not use
non-standard batteries or other sizes, as this can cause
damage.
Replacing battery & cover
To reinstall the battery & cover, install battery +ve side up,
insert cover, line up the arrow on the cover with the
diagonal dash on the housing. Press firmly so the cover is
flush with the housing. Use a coin to twist the cover until
the arrows in the cover are aligned, and the battery cover is
flush with the housing.
