Setup or commission an SCS Controller using Field app

How to setup a SCS controller installed in a cooler with Field app.

Before starting

  • Turn on location tracking - It is best if your mobile device is connected online while updating your GPS as this is how the Google Maps lookup works. If you prefer to stay offline, just type in the address, and wait for the map screen to turn Green to indicate a GPS lock.
  • Check you have the correct permissions - if the SCS Controller has been configured during the initial installation and wiring phase, and assigned to a database you must have the appropriate permissions supplied by your User Manager to access it via Field app.

    Step 4 - Review your information

    A green tick beside each field indicates all the fields are set and installation is complete.  The manufacturer’s serial number doesn’t get a green tick because the system regards this as optional.

    Once you are happy with the information you have entered, open the menu and click DISCONNECT to complete the process.

    Note: It is important to complete the disconnect step to ensure that all asset data is properly stored in the SCS Controller.
