Cyclops Marine smartlink2 User manual

smartlink² 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.

Wireless charging
To charge smartlink² with the wireless charger, plug the
charger into a USB port or power plug (not supplied), a
quick blue flash indicates it has been powered on. Place
the smartlink² on the charger with the wireless charging
logo facing the charger.
The sensor is charging when the LED constantly flashes red.
LED light indication
At <20% charge, LED indications during on and extended
use modes will be a double flash.
