Connection overview * Make sure this wire is fused with max. 10A.
Choosing the correct position First you need to choose the correct position in which to install your LINK 530. Take the following into consideration: Do not expose the LINK 530 to direct sunlight and/or high temperature for long periods to ensure proper operation. To ensure GPS reception using the integrated GPS receiver, the top of the device must not be obstructed by metal items.
Connecting to power Connect the LINK 530 to the vehicle power supply with the standard vehicle voltage (12 V/24 V). Do not connect to a voltage converter. The three wires GND, IGN and PWR+ (supply voltage) must be connected. Important: Follow the order of connecting the wires as described below. First connect the wires then insert the plug into the LINK 530.
Mounting the LINK 530 Your LINK 530 comes with an integrated GSM antenna and an integrated GPS antenna. Depending on the position you choose for the installation, you can install your LINK 530 without external antennas. The device must be positioned so that it is unobstructed by metal objects. The device must not interfere with clear vision for the driver. Tinted metallised windscreens or those with integrated filament heating may block GPS reception.
Note: The full strength of the strips will be reached after approximately 72 hours depending on the temperature. 7. Insert the LINK 530 into the holder. Press gently until it clicks into place. Attaching the holder using the self-tapping screws You can use the two self-tapping screws to fix the holder to your vehicle. 1. Choose a flat surface for the LINK 530. Remember, when the LINK 530 is in the holder, it must not be obstructed by metal objects. 2.
Testing operation In addition to the tests described below you can also test the operation of your LINK 530 using the TomTom Business Solutions Diagnostic Tool with Bluetooth. Power or Ignition test Before testing the connection to power and to the ignition make sure you have properly carried out the installation. 1. Please check all connections to the LINK 530 (wires, fuses etc.). 2. Turn off the ignition. The green LED must be off and then flash on every 3 seconds. 3. Turn on the ignition.
Connecting to PRO and WEBFLEET Connect your navigation device to your LINK 530 to fully enjoy the benefits of your WORKsmart solution. To use a TomTom PRO navigation device in combination with the LINK 530 a corresponding WEBFLEET subscription is required. When you first switch on your navigation device, you are asked to connect it with the LINK 530 installed in your vehicle. You can do this immediately or at any time later by doing the following: 1.

Appendix: Using the IO cable Using the IO cable, you can record inputs, for example, for keeping a digital logbook with the help of a switch, reporting times the vehicle is idling, retrieving CANbus data etc. You can connect the IO cable from TomTom Business Solutions, Art. no. 9KLE.001.02, to the IO cable connector of the TomTom LINK 530. CAN High (Orange/Black) CAN Low (Orange/Brown) GND (Brown) IN 1 (Blue/Green) Digital input can be used for idling reporting and logbook keeping.
Wiring digital inputs The digital inputs of the LINK 530 operate according to the principle of a voltage detector. Voltages below 2 Volts are definitively interpreted as being low and voltages higher than 3 Volts are definitively interpreted as being high. The maximum permissible input voltage is 30 Volts. Low/high switching (increasing input voltage) typically occurs at 2.8 Volts. High/low switching (decreasing input voltage) typically occurs at 2.1 Volts. The hysteresis of 0.
Wiring the digital output The digital output OUT of the LINK 530 is an open drain output linking to ground. The connected load must be connected between vehicle voltage and OUT. Loads requiring more than 0.35 A must be controlled with relays. If the load requires more than the maximum output voltage use a 12 V/24 V relay, depending on the operating voltage. Caution: Do not switch safety relevant vehicle functions.
