Disable a cooler with Field App

This function lets any role with the correct permissions disable equipment (eg. coolers) in the field, eg when store owners are stocking unpermitted items in a cooler, or when the equipment is not located as agreed.

Disable a cooler

Once the compressor turns off, it will not turn back on, resulting in a Terminal Alarm 19.

Before starting:

  • Ask your AoFrio administrator to update your permissions in User Manager to see this function.

Log on to Field app and connect to the cooler you want to disable.

  • If you check this field, you won’t see this step again.

Once the compressor turns off, it will not turn back on, resulting in a Terminal Alarm 19.  Anyone who now connects to it will see the notification “This cooler has been disabled.” and the cooler ID will also appear as disabled in the list of nearby coolers.
