1. Introduction
1.1. About the LINK Master
Thank you for purchasing this House of DURATECH product. To ensure proper operation,
please read this manual carefully before using the device. After reading this manual, be
sure to keep it for future reference.
The LINK Master is a pre-wired central electrical hub, linking all technical pool-related
devices. It makes complex swimming pool installations easier to install and connect.
Making it possible for different devices to work together without adding dedicated cabling
between these devices.
House of DURATECH devices are automatically recognized and set by default. You also
have the possibility to add and connect Multi-Brand devices.
The LINK Master is equipped with multiple ‘smart’ input and output connections for your
pool devices. Giving you full access to the DuraLinkTM connected range of products.
Connect the LINK Master to the internet and it will automatically connect to the Dura-
Cloud App and Portal for easy configuration and operation of the different devices.
The LINK Master ensures efficient and safe operation of your pool.
Be aware that the LINK Master is an exact and sensitive system that must always be
handled with care. During installation, the regulations and provisions applicable for the
country and site of installation must be respected.

- The location where the LINK Master will be installed must be protected from
dust and water in order to ensure that the device functions properly.
- The ambient temperature must be between 0°C and +40°C and must be as
constant as possible.
- The relative humidity at the location of installation must not exceed 90%, no
condensation may occur.
- Direct heat or sun rays on the device must be avoided. The LINK Master is not
suitable for outdoor installation.
- The DuraCloud App and LINK Touch need access to the LINK Master for
configuration of certain settings and calibrations.
- For the DuraCloud App to fully communicate with the LINK Master it needs to
be connected to a ‘router’ device providing wireless (cloud) access. (→2.1.3)
- For the LINK Touch to correctly communicate with the LINK Master it needs to
have an unblocked radio signal.
- Also be aware that for ‘cover operation’ safety reasons the LINK Touch may
only be mounted in a place that allows full visibility of the entire pool.
2.1.1.2. Provisions
Before commencing with the electrical installation, the following supplies need to be avail-
able at the place of installation.
- Power supply 230VAC 32A

2.2. Configuration
2.2.1. System start-up
For the initial start-up the LINK Master Controller and Gateway keypads will be used be-
cause the DuraCloud App and LINK Touch are not yet paired with the LINK Master.
Also be aware that the last step in the initial start-up of the Gateway is to search for any
software updates. This process is only possible when a network connection with internet
access has been established. If you have opted for the local ‘network’ connection (→
2.1.3.) this step in the start-up will be skipped.
- Power up the LINK Master by switching on the power supply.
- On the keypad all Led’s will blink once short, to check their functioning.
- On the controller keypad all Led’s of connected devices will stay ON.
- On the gateway keypad the on/off button will start blinking for 30 seconds.
This means it is starting up.
- Two minutes after start-up, the “DuraCloud” LED will show if the LINK Master
has made an internet connection (LED ON) or not (LED OFF).
- When the internet connection is made, The LINK Master will now search for any
software updates.
- During the process of updating, the LINK Master will be fully operational.
2.2.2. DuraCloud app pairing
2.2.2.1 Account and permissions
The DuraCloud App works around roles which have different levels of permission. The
roles have can have ‘local’ and/or ‘cloud’ access to the LINK Master.
Local access = Gateway specific anonymous accounts that require local network access
to be created.
Cloud access = User accounts that are created in the cloud and can be linked to one or
more gateways.
The below table gives an overview of the combinations.

network as the LINK Master.
- Open the DuraCloud App on your ‘smart’ device.
- Open the menu on the top left
- Navigate to “Claim Ownership”
- Select the Gateway keypad button “Owner” to obtain authorised access.
- Click on the gateway in the DuraCloud App you want to promote
- When the DuraCloud App shows that it has become owner, the procedure has

2.2.3. Configure other devices
Before continuing with the pairing of the LINK Touch (→2.2.6.) it is important that all
installed devices are correctly paired with the LINK Master.
- Pool lights (→3.2.)
- Heat pump (→4.2.)
- Filter pump (→5.2.)
2.2.4. Configure relays A & B
Before continuing with the configuration of the relays, please ensure the DuraCloud App
has established the owner role for the pool. (→2.2.2.2.)
- Ensure the DuraCloud App is connected to the same network as the
LINK Master.
- Open the DuraCloud App on your device
- Select the pool you wish to configure
- When the DuraCloud App has the owner role for this pool, a settings icon will
show in the top right corner.
- Click on the settings icon
- You can now change relays A & B to the preferred mode.
- Relay A
- OFF
- Open multi-brand cover
- Toggle
- Pulse
- FilterpumpBoost
- Relay B
- OFF
- Close multi-brand cover
- Toggle
- Pulse
- Filling
The available options for setting the relays are directly related to the con-
nected devices.
For example; when using the DuraCover both relay A and B remain free, however when
