1.0 OVERVIEW
The TL-3.0 Telemetry Link is designed for use with the DLM TW-3.0 Telemetry
Handheld and any other product within the d+ range.
The TL-3.0 operates on a free band 2.4GHz frequency and utilises a bespoke
frequency hopping protocol which hops frequency 20 times per second to help
reduce interference.
The TL-3.0 is “paired” with a receiving device and can be viewed simultaneously on as
many receiving devices as required.
The TL-3.0 has a wireless range of 800m; therefore to avoid interference when
multiple TL-3.0 devices paired with their own individual display (i.e. another load cell
and handheld pair within an 800m radius) they should be configured on different
networks.
Some network setup examples are shown overleaf to illustrate the operation.
Page 5
1.1 NETWORK SETTING EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using two TW-3.0 Handheld devices with two TL-3.0 Telemetry
Tensile links within range of each other.
Pair 1 needs to be paired on a network, i.e. Network 1
Pair 2 needs to be paired on a different network, i.e. Network 2
Example 2: Using two TW-3.0 Handheld devices with two TL-3.0 Telemetry
Tensile links outside of the range of each other.
Both pairs can be paired on the same network as they are far enough apart
that interference will not occur.
Page 6
Example 3: Using one TW-3.0 Handheld device with two TL-3.0 Telemetry
Tensile links.
The TW-3.0 is set to operate on network 1 and both TL-3.0 Telemetry Tensile
Links are paired, as channel 1 and channel 2 to the TW-3.0.
Example 4: Using two or more TW-3.0 Handheld devices with one TL-3.0
Telemetry Tensile link.
One TW-3.0 is set to Master on network 1, the second TW-3.0 is set to a Slave
on network 1 and the TL-3.0 is paired on channel 1.

2.0 QUICK START
2.1 POWER
Power On:
To power the TL-3.0 on for use follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the PAIR button until the LED becomes solid
2. The LED will flash once every 3 seconds if the TL-3.0 is connected to a receiving
device such as the TW-3.0 Handheld Display.
3. The LED will flash once per second if the TL-3.0 is not connected to a receiving device
Power Off:
To power the TL-3.0 off for use follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the PAIR button, the LED becomes solid and then after 2 seconds turn
off
Page 8
Low Power Mode:
When the TL-3.0 is powered but not connected to a receiving device, it will
enter a low power mode which will look for signal once every 30 seconds. This
is to conserve battery life when the receiving device is powered off, but it is
not possible to reach the TL-3.0 to power it off.
2.2 PAIRING
The TL-3.0 needs to be paired with a receiving device, in order to establish
communication with a new device such as the TW-3.0 Handheld follow the steps
below:
1. Press the MENU button on the TW-3.0
2. Select the CHANNELS menu
3. Select the CHANNEL with which the new device is to be paired to
4. Scroll down to the PAIR menu option
5. On the device to be paired with the TW-3.0 locate the PAIRING button
6. Ensure the device is powered off
7. Press and hold the PAIR button for 8secs until the LED flashes twice per second
8. Press the PAIR function on the TW-3.0 Handheld
9. A 30 second count down timer will be initiated to search for the new device
10. Once the device has been paired the TW-3.0 will exit the pairing screen and the
LED on the new device will blink at once per second briefly
This completes the pairing process; the new device will now be present on the paired
channel.

2.3 SAFE RIGGING
The TL-3.0 Telemetry Tensile Link makes up part of the lifting equipment during any
and all lifting applications, it is therefore necessary to ensure it is safe to use.
This information below is of a general nature only covering the main points for the
safe use of shackles. It may be necessary to supplement this information for specific
applications.
General Advice:
Store and handle shackles correctly.
Inspect shackles before use and before placing into storage.
Select the correct pattern of shackle and pin for the application.
Allow for the full resultant imposed load.
Fully tighten the pin.
Ensure the load acts through the centre line of the shackle using spacers if
necessary to meet this requirement.
Never use the shackle above its WLL
Use shackles with bent pins or deformed bodies.
Force, hammer or wedge shackles into position.
Eccentrically load shackles.
Replace the pin with a bolt
Fit pins in contact with moving parts which may loosen or unscrew them.
Shock load shackles.
Page 10
Using Shackles Safely
Do not attempt lifting operations unless you understand the use of the equipment, the
slinging procedures and the mode factors to be applied.
Do not use defective shackles or unidentified pins.
Shackles should be fitted so that the body takes the load along its centre line and is not
subjected to side bending loads. When connecting a number of sling legs, and similar
applications, position them so that they do not impose a side load on the shackle jaws. Use
spacers to position them if necessary.
With bolt and nut pins ensure the nut jams on the inner end of the thread and not on the
eye of the shackle. The bolt should be free to rotate with minimal side float. The split cotter
pin must be fitted before making a lift.
When using shackles with slings in choke hitch, or in other applications where there may be
movement, place the pin through the eye or link of the sling and never in contact with the
bight of the choke or moving parts which may cause the pin to unscrew.
In-service Inspection and Maintenance
Maintenance requirements are minimal. Keep shackles clean, the threads free of debris and
protect from corrosion.
Regularly inspect shackles and, in the event of the following defects, refer the shackle to a
Competent Person for thorough examination: illegible markings; distorted, worn, stretched
or bent body; bent pin; damaged or incomplete thread forms; nicks, gouges, cracks or
corrosion; incorrect pin; any other defect.

2.4 CHARGING AND BATTERY LIFE
The TL-3.0 contains a single Li-Polymer battery pack which is charged via the USB
port on the front of the TL-3.0. WARNING! DO NOT CHARGE BELOW 0°C
The power source can be supplied from any PC/laptop or any mains to USB charger
plug of suitable quality. WARNING: Cheap charging devices often fail to meet the
requirements of the Electrical Equipment Regulations Act 1994, as a minimum any
charger plug must have a CE mark, shown below. It is the responsibility of the
operator to ensure any charger plug is safe to use.
The time taken to fully charge the TL-3.0 will depend on the type of charger, a simple
calculation is:
Charge Time (hours) = Battery capacity (mAh) ÷ charging current (mA)
For example:
2000mAh battery capacity charging from a laptop at 500mA:
2000 ÷ 500 = 4 hours

The battery life of the TL-3.0 depends on the how it is being used, the lower the
sample rate the longer the battery life will be. One example is:
