Bluelink Pro User Manual

Bluelink Pro Bluelink Pro is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface which allows a dive computer to communicate with a smart device via a dedicated app. The smart device must be compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0. The app allows the smart device to connect to the dive computer in order to do the following: - Read information (such as model and serial number) - Download the logbook (data download) - Upgrade the firmware (data upload) Bluelink Pro is compatible with: • Puck Pro + • Smart • Quad • Puck Pro (NO firmware upgrade) • Future Mares products with the same type of connection Bluelink Pro connects to the dive computer the same way as the standard cabled interface. Refer to the user manual of the dive computer for a description of how to do this. Operating mode. When Bluelink Pro is not in use it remains in a low power mode in order to preserve the battery. This is referred to as DeepSleep. To establish a connection to the smart device follow this procedure: • Place the Dive Computer into “PC Ready” mode. See dive computer manual for details. • Connect Bluelink Pro to the dive computer (fig. xx). Once connected the LED on Bluelink Pro will turn on to a steady blue for 5 seconds after which it will blink for 55 seconds. • During these 55 seconds Bluelink Pro is ready to communicate with the smart device. • If no communication takes place between Bluelink Pro and the smart device within these 55 seconds, Bluelink Pro returns to DeepSleep mode to preserve the battery and the LED turns off. A connection attempt started now will fail because Bluelink Pro has returned to DeepSleep mode. To wake up Bluelink Pro in order to initiate a new connection, disconnect Bluelink Pro from the dive computer then reconnect it. The light will turn steady blue for 5 seconds then blink for another 55 seconds. • To start a communication, open the app and initiate the connection (see app instructions on how to do this). • Once the connection has been established, the blue light turns green and the devices are ready to communicate. • If once the light has turned green no data is exchanged for 60 seconds, the LED starts blinking in red to alert the user that the session is about to expire. If no data is exchanged for another 30 seconds, the connection is terminated and Bluelink Pro goes into DeepSleep.
• While the light is green or red, as soon as there is data exchange, the 60+30 second countdown is reset to zero. • If the connection is terminated by the app, for instance because the user closes the app, Bluelink Pro will show a blinking blue light for 60 seconds, allowing a new connection to be set up during this time.
