1. Thank you for purchasing a V-link dynamometer
The V-LINK dynamometer from Vetec A/S is designed with the purpose to increase eciency and
accuracy in all situaons, including harsh and humid environments.
The development has been focused on opmizing features that make it easy for the operator to
handle and operate the dynamometer and sll achieve stable and accurate measurements. The
increased ease of use is achieved, for example, by a at design, simple menu structure, quick guide
and fast charging with standard USB charger.
Achieving an IP67 class has been especially important in order to accommodate customers
working in wet and humid environments. To test the funconality, the dynamometer has been
immersed in 1 meter deep water for half an hour. The result was a fully funconal product.
V-LINK is designed and manufactured in Denmark for high quality assurance and the service
department provides professional support, repair and calibraon service.

3. Installa on, use and uninstall
3.1. Installa on
The V-LINK must be   ed with shackles that comply with the SWL of the dynamometer and the
applicable legisla on in the country of use. Vetec A/S recommends Green Pin standard Shackles,
G4163 and G-4161.
The maximum SWL is marked on the back foil of the dynamometer.
Product adjustment must only be performed by a quali ed technician.
The user shall ensure that the operator has taken note of this instruc on,
usage and maintenance manual before using the dynamometer.
”DANGER”
- Calibrated with equipment traceable to na onal and interna onal standards.
- Fe/Zn12/A surface treatment according to ISO 2081.
During installa on ensure:
Adequate resistance of the load line’s anchorage points in rela on to the force that will be applied.
The compa bility of anchoring accessories in both ends of the dynamometer and compliance with
applicable regula ons.
Lock the shackles by  ghtening their pin to the limit and make sure that the safety latch hook
works properly.
Respect the Dynamometer’s maximum working capacity.

3.2. Use
3.3. Uninstalling
3.4 Overload
- Use the V-LINK only in trac on.
- The dynamometer can be used in all direc ons, including horizontally.
- Rapid changes in temperature may a ect the accuracy. It is therefore recommended that the
dynamometer is kept in stable temperature 20-30 minutes before use.
- When uninstalling,  rst make sure that any trac ve strain has been eliminated.
- Make sure to handle the dynamometer safely and avoid damage.
- When operated in corrosive environments wipe o all the external surfaces with a damp cloth.
- For op mal maintenance apply a thin layer of light oil, e.g. WD 40.
In case of an overload it is impera ve to completely release the stress on the
dynamometer and conduct the following overload test.
Overload test: Turn the dynamometer o and on. If it indicates a value
much higher or lower than the usual star ng value, it has been permanently
damaged. In this case, it is impera ve to have it checked by Vetec’s service
department before further use.

8.1. Baery replacement
8.2. Regulatory audit / recalibraon
9. Maintenance
V-link requires no maintenance except regular cleaning aer each use.
- Wipe o moisture or dust using a slightly damp, clean cloth.
- Cover the exterior with a thin layer of oil, e.g. WD 40. This will prevent rust.
- Keep the V-LINK in a dry, clean place.
- Never use cleaning soluons or high-pressure water.
V-LINK dynamometers are as standard supplied with a cercate of test and calibraon which
is valid for one (1) year.
The cercate indicates the values obtained during the adjustment. A new cercate of test
and calibraon will be issued every me a calibraon is conducted.
An annual check of each device is recommended.
The baery indicator blinks when it needs to be replaced. It is recommended to purchase the
baery replacement kit that includes a Li-on baery and a new foil.
- Remove the foil.
- Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the baery cover.
- Replace the baery with a new baery.
- Put the baery cover back on and ghten the screws so that the cover is ush with the
edge of the baery case. Ensuring that it is is in correct posion.
- Replace the foil with a new foil. This will ensure that the device is waterproof.
To prevent damage to the dynamometer, make sure that repairs and recalibraon are carried
out by qualied personnel.
It is recommended that recalibraon and repairs are done at Vetec’s service department
located in Denmark or by authorized partners. Contact Vetec’s service department for further
informaon.
When you return a dynamometer for repair, make sure to always include the invoice number
or the delivery note along with a descripon of the problem.
