Pair a drive unit

Open Drive units from the sidebar and choose Pair a unit. You find the unit, link the vessel, pick the outboard, and then prove it reports. Allow about five minutes on the pontoon.

Scan the code on the unit’s sticker with your phone and paste the link. The check code comes with it, and proves you have the unit in hand. Then choose Link the vessel.

Search the record for the vessel by registration or name, and pick it. Then tick that the owner has agreed to the unit reporting to your organisation. A unit is only ever fitted with the owner’s agreement.

Pick the outboard the unit reads, here the Halyard H10, a 77 volt class electric outboard. The lists below show what it reports and what it does not. Check the battery chemistry, because it sets the cell voltage thresholds.

Choose Pair the unit, and Pair the unit again in the dialog. From now on its readings join this vessel’s record, and the last step opens.

Turn the outboard on for thirty seconds and turn the prop slowly. Each check ticks as it passes: power, the controller link, prop rpm, a GPS fix, and the first sealed batch.

When every check has passed, choose Open the unit. Its page shows the first readings from the outboard. If you are short of time, choose Finish later; the unit stays paired.
