Before the Assembly

  1. Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
  2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
  3. Ensure the device is placed at least 300 mm away from any magnetic compass.

Connect to the NMEA 2000 Network

  • Connect the sensor to the LinkUp gateway using the 3-pin Hirschmann 1.2 SealStar FA connector.
  • Connect the LinkUp gateway to the NMEA 2000 backbone using the M12 plug.
  • Ensure the M12 connector is screwed on tightly to maintain water tightness.
  • Note: NMEA 2000 drop cables must not exceed 6 meters in length.

Configuration

The device is configured wirelessly using the Link Up Configurator app (available for Android and iOS) via the built-in passive NFC antenna.

  1. Launch the app on your smartphone.
  2. Tap your smartphone onto the wireless area of the LinkUp device (indicated by the icon on the housing).
  3. The app will display the current configuration.
  4. Select the sensor type (Engine Oil or Transmission Oil) and engine instance.
  5. Set alarm thresholds if required.
  6. Press "Write Configuration" in the app and tap the smartphone against the device again to transfer the settings.

LED Notifications

  • OFF: Device not powered.
  • ON: Device configured and in operation.
  • Slow blink (1Hz): Invalid or empty configuration; waiting for user setup.
  • Fast blink (5Hz): Sensor value out of range.
  • Very fast blink (10Hz): Reconfiguration in progress.

Practical help

Common problems

Device LED is OFF

Check the NMEA 2000 network connection and ensure the network is powered.

LED is blinking slowly (1Hz)

The device has an invalid or empty configuration. Use the Link Up Configurator app to configure the device.

LED is blinking fast (5Hz)

The analogue value from the sensor is out of range. Check the sensor connection and status.

Before use

  • Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Ensure the device is at least 300 mm away from any magnetic compass.
  • Verify the NMEA 2000 network backbone is active.
  • Download the Link Up Configurator app on your smartphone.
