Cyclops Marine smartlink Nano Manual

smartlink Guide
For load display, see 'App Instructions' and 'Gateway Instructions' before sensor installation.

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 NMEA2000 gateway for immediate load data.

Correct loading with soft lines

smartlink is designed to be loaded inline with soft
lines/rope/strops, for the
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.

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.
Press button: Light flashes Powered on for:
Once Once
Twice Twice
3 times 3 times
4 times 4 times
5 times 5 times
If the sensor is on, press the button once to power it
down after 30 seconds.
