Blu-Link allows you to control GATE devices such as TITAN, ASTER, and STATUS and connect them to other compatible ones wirelessly via the GCS App. What’s more, Blu-Link is an additional adjustable smart fuse and multifunctional wattmeter enabling you to, e.g., read Telemetry data.
...
Together with the GCS App, you can adjust the settings of TITAN, ASTER, STATUS, and other GATE devices and update or upgrade their firmware.
Blu-Link is compatible with the GCS App for devices with Android, iOS, and soon also Windows and macOS.

DTC Codes
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) indicate basic malfunctions and problems with your battery, AEG, ETU or Blu-Link. You are notified about them by a LED blinking for 120 s after the problem occurs. The Blu-Link DTCs can later be read and cleared in the Diagnostics tab in GCS.
In the Event of Trouble
The LED color reflects the problem type:
Yellow indicates a warning
Red indicates a problem
The number of blinks determines what exactly the problem is.
