THE LINK UP GATEWAY CONCEPT The Link Up Pyrometer gateway (hereinafter “Device” or Configuring LinkUp gateways is simple using a mobile “Link Up”) provide an easy method to provide the exhaust device and the companion LinkUp Configurator App for temperature to NMEA 2000.

INTRODUCTION DESIGN AND FUNCTION The Link Up gateway has a simple but yet effective design. The pyrometer sensor serves to monitor accurately the temperature in the elbow flange of the exhaust pipe and The housing filled with bi-component resin allows the unit indicates eventual thermal overload of the engine.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION WARNING Before beginning, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, otherwise you risk a short circuit. If the vehicle is supplied by auxiliary batteries, you must also disconnect the negative terminals on these batteries! Short circuits can cause fires, battery explosions and damages to other electronic systems. Please note that when you disconnect the battery, all volatile electronic memories lose their input values and must be reprogrammed.

Please ensure to tighten the M12 connector by screwing it onto its counterpart, so to preserve the water tightness. A drop cable is not needed unless the total length of the Link Up device is not enough to reach the NMEA 2000® backbone. In this case it is possible to extend the total length by using one of the accessory drop cables.
