WARNINGS
PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
Look through the entire manual to understand the installation process.
Watch the tutorial videos that are found on the tablet.
During the installation use the ‘BYPASS’ mode to move the LINK.
Do not use the pendant or ‘PENDANT’ mode until you have reset the home position.
The
LINK
is designed to
ALWAYS
use the original seat. The biggest challenge this will present for the installer will
be extending the vehicle’s original seat wire harness, as this
MUST
be done. The general process does not vary, but
the exact steps will vary due to the trim level, the model and seat options from the vehicle manufacturer. Keeping
this in mind, we have made an effort to clearly describe the process required in this manual. However, it is possible
that the pictures in this manual do not match exactly the specific vehicle you are working on.
SEAT WIRING EXTENSION PROCESS
The wiring must be extended 80 inches. This extension is placed near the seat connectors that are under the seat.
The extension (80 inches) then passes under the
LINK
and loops around the back of the OEM seat
–
allowing the
seat and the
LINK
to travel in and out of the vehicle. Depending on the make, model and seat options, there are
components that must be disconnected, bypassed and/or relocated. On vehicle models with a seat position memory
function, the forward/backward, tilt and height adjustments as well as seat memory are replaced by the
LINK.
However, the seat recline function is retained. (
EXAMPLE:
In the Ford F150, 2009-2014 model; the seat height, tilt,
forward and backward adjustment motors are disconnected and removed with the seat frame, but the recline motor
is retained. The control and memory box are relocated to the floor under the seat, next to the seat connectors. The
seat position sensor is also relocated to the floor under the seat. The wiring harness is then extended from this point
under the seat.)
PLEASE NOTE:
If the ignition is turned on while extending a wire harness that includes airbags, this may cause the
airbag light to stay on following the installation.
ADAPT SOLUTIONS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY WIRE EXTENSIONS.
Please use caution during the installation.
ANDROID TABLET
–
LINK I.T. SOFTWARE
If this is your first installation of a
LINK
, you will have also purchased an Android tablet that is required for the
installation and maintenance of the
LINK
product. This tablet will have the
LINK IT
software already installed. We
have prepared quick, easy and to the point tutorial videos imbedded into the software. Take a moment and watch
the video that shows all the features of the tablet. To do this, open the
LINK IT
app and tap on ‘INFO’. Make sure
your volume is turned up and tap on App-101. The video will start automatically.
REDUCED POWER MODE
A safeguard is integrated in the
LINK
system. Following any changes to the preset or sequence of the
LINK
, the
unit will enter a reduced power mode. This is to allow you to visually inspect the movements of the
LINK
to ensure
it is not damaging the vehicle or itself during its first cycle. On the tablet, a yellow bar will appear at the top of the
screen to indicate you are in reduced power mode. To exit, simply run the
LINK
a full cycle. NOTE
:
It is possible that
the
LINK
will stop during this cycle as power is reduced. Visually confirm nothing is impeding the movements and
then simply press the
IN
or
OUT
button again to continue the cycle. During the installation, if the 12V power is
removed and replaced at the same time as the 9V battery (
LINK
memory back up) is unplugged or fully drained, the
LINK
will enter reduced power mode. Simply run a full cycle to exit. PLEASE NOTE: You will find an explanation of
this mode on a YELLOW tag attached to the hand pendant. Please explain the functions of the reduced power mode
to the
LINK
user (your client).
