      Installing the Monitor

      Detailing the process to activate the Monitor and mount it inside a cooler.

      WARNING: Installation of the AoFrio Monitor otherwise than in accordance with the installation process section of the manual will invalidate the warranty. The Monitor must only be installed and configured by trained and authorized staff.

      Since the device is battery powered and has everything it needs to function contained inside its housing, Monitor ships deactivated, which means it is in its lowest power mode to preserve battery, and Bluetooth transmission is turned off. In order to read, record, and transmit data, Monitor needs to undergo NFC activation.

      After you have downloaded the AoFrio Field App to your device, open the app then tap the NFC tab on the bottom of the screen.

      Place your mobile device directly on top of the AoFrio Monitor (as pictured below), until you see a message CONNECTING BXXXXXXXXX.

      If this process takes longer than five seconds, try slowly hovering your phone over the AoFrio Monitor to facilitate alignment of the NFC module on your device to the NFC antenna inside the Monitor.

      Once you have updated the details you have completed installation and will see the configuration screen where you can begin making other adjustments.

      Mount the device

      The side closer to the screw holes must be installed facing the door and the label facing away. This is critical to ensure door opening detection.

      • The front face of the AoFrio Monitor should be installed less than 70 mm (2¾”) from the point where the door seal touches the cabinet wall.
      • This distance is important, as it ensures accurate door movement detection. If the device is placed too far from the door, door opening counts may not be accurate.
      • Use the supplied tape to secure AoFrio Monitor parallel to the door and frame. (Optional) Use the supplied screws to make the Monitor more secure.
