Congratulations Congratulation on your new Blu-Link!

It allows you to control your GATE ETU and connect it to other compatible devices wirelessly via GATE Control Station app. Moreover, Blu-Link is an additional smart fuse and power analyzer wattmeter enabling to, e.g., read telemetry data.

Together with the GCS, you can adjust TITAN or ASTER settings and update or upgrade their firmware from devices with Android, iOS, Windows or macOS.

Wersja od nativa:

This cutting edge product allows full control of your ETU or may also serve well connecting with miscellaneous wireless devices compatible by the use of GATE CONTROL STATION App. Blu-Link additionally performs as smart  fuse at power uptake screening to enable such as telemetric data being monitored.

Furthermore, such as the ASTER or TITAN, when coupled with GCS, can be handled promptly by the use of any Android, iOS, Windows or macOS appliance, either for adjustments, updating or upgrading of the firmware.

How to use Blu-Link

...

Notice
You can use Blu-Link without ETU. It will work as a smart fuse and power analyzer enabling to, e.g., read telemetry data.

/ Blu-Link can be effected independently, apart from the ETU. When used separately, it would act as a smart fuse and gauge for the power intake to enable of, for example, telemetric data control

First connection via GCS

  1. Download and install GATE Control Station:
    www.gatee.eu/gcs

  2. Enable Bluetooth function on your device

  3. Prepare Blu-Link DTC card included in the kit

  4. Plug Blu-Link into AEG battery LED side up. LED should glow green for 1 s.

  5. Read the LED status and relate to as per the DTC card

  6. Log in to into the GCS app

  7. Prepare your PIN printed on the Blu-Link’s Link PIN card

  8. Connect Blu-Link by following the instructions displayed in from the GCS

  9. Plug Blu-Link into AEG/ETU

  10. Enjoy using of the Blu-Link

Plug and play

  1. Plug Blu-Link into AEG battery

  2. Plug Blu-Link into AEG/ETU

  3. Enjoy the airsofting

Notice
Keep the Blu-Link’s Link PIN card or save memorize your PIN printed on it – you will need it each time for each a new connection. If you lose your PIN, contact us at support@gatee.eu.

...

Notice
Blu-link is compatible with the Bluetooth version 4.0 or later.

...

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) inform about basic malfunctions and problems with your battery, AEG, ETU or Blu-Link. You are notified of them by LED blinking for 2 minutes after the problem occurs. The Blu-Link’s DTC can be later read and cleared in DTC menu in GCS app.

/ Diagnostic Trouble Codes /DTC/ serves to inform on basic AEG, ETU, Blu-Link or battery-related problems. You will be notified of them by two minutes of continuous blinking of the LED from when the issue has been recognized. The script cache on the Blu-Link DTC, encompassing the problem will be available for reading out or clearance at your convenience, from the position of the menu or using of the GCS app

In the event of trouble

  1. LED color reflects problem type The colour of LED serves to reflect on the actual issue, whereby respectively:

    1. Yellow means to indicate a warning

    2. Red means to indicate a critical problem

  2. Number of blinks determines what exactly the problem is (for reference, read DTC explanations presented later in this guide) / The actual nature of the issue will be said corroborated by the number of blinks (for reference, please acquaint the explications from the DTC, to be available further on across this guidebook)

How

...

should the DTC descriptions be familiarized through

  • grafika - flaga w kolorze i z liczba plus strzałki wyjaśniające

  • dodać za liczbą mignięć znak “x” np. 2x

  • przemyśleć bardziej obrazowe oznaczanie liczby mignięć, np. warfet, 4 błyśnięcia:

Notice
If you use an ETU connected to Blu-Link, check also the ETU's DTC. Blu-Link is designed to withstand higher power load and lower voltage than ETU, so in most cases, an ETU protection turns on earlier and the Blu-Link does not detect the problem.

/ If ETU used in connection to Blu-Link, the DTC to be also checked for the ETU. Since the Blu-link is so-designed to be up to withstand a higher power and lower voltage from the ETU, in most cases by the moment of a possible clash was detected, the ETU protection will have been turned on automatically, so that the Blu-Link was enabled to ignore the problem as unrecognized whatsoever and take for no action to address of it thereby.

  1. Contact us at support@gatee.eu

OCP – Blu-Link detected too high current. Overcurrent protection was activated.

  1. Too low current is set in smart fuse settings

  2. Motor is damaged

  3. Motor or gearbox is jammed

  4. Motor connections' short circuit

  1. Adjust smart fuse settings

  3. Motor connections' short circuit

  1. Replace the motor

  2. Unjam the motor or gearbox

  3. Check and fix the motor wires' insulation

OTP – Blu-Link temperature is too high. Over temperature protection was activated.

  1. Outside temperature is too high in correlation with the demanding AEG

  2. Frequent short circuits and Blu-Link’s electrical overloads

Wait until the temperature drops

UVP1 – Battery protection was activated.

The battery is discharged

Charge the battery

UVP2 – The voltage dropped below 1.5 V, which is critical for Blu-Link to work properly.

1. The battery is discharged

2. The battery is worn out and has too high internal resistance

3. Inadequate battery type for given AEG configuration

4. Too much electrical resistance between Blu-Link and the battery

5. Motor too strong for the connected battery

6. Motor connections' short circuit

7. Motor is jammed

8. Motor is damaged

  1. Charge the battery

  2. Replace the battery

  3. Use a battery with more capacity or more voltage

  4. Do not use any adapters

  5. Use standard or high-torque motors instead of high-speed ones

  6. Check and fix the motor wires insulation

  7. Unjam the motor

  8. Replace the motor

 

UVP3 – Protection against over-discharge of the battery. Battery protection was activated immediately after connecting the battery.

  1. Number of cells is different than their number set in GCS

  2. The battery is discharged

  1. Set the same number of cells in GCS as in the battery

  2. Charge the battery
