Mount a Monitor in a commercial refrigeration cabinet
A guide for locating an AoFrio Monitor in a commercial refrigeration cabinet, normally used for cold beverages.
Monitor activation prior to mounting
- Download the AoFrio Field app or Track app onto your mobile device.
- Activate your device.
- Match the app to your Monitor and set up ownership associations. More detail here.
- Place your mobile device directly on top of the Monitor (as pictured), until you see a message CONNECTING BXXXXXXXXX.

NOTE: 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.
Install the Monitor into the cooler
-
Choose the mounting location
-
The optimum position depends on cooler type:
-
Option A (Left image below) : Coolers with evaporator on top of cabinet. Mount the AoFrio Monitor below the evaporator, close to the air return, preferably above the top shelf, or between the first and second shelves from the top.
-
Option B (Right image below) : Coolers with evaporator on bottom of cabinet. Mount the AoFrio Monitor near the evaporator inlet, preferably in front of it, especially for cassette-equipped coolers.

- Clean the mounting surface inside the cooler cabinet using an alcohol wipe and let it dry.
- Attach the Monitor to the cabinet with the side closer to the screw holes facing the door and the label facing away. This is critical to ensure door opening detection.
- The front face of the Monitor should be installed less than 70 mm (2.75”) 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 the Monitor parallel to the door and frame.
- (Optional) Use the supplied screws to make the Monitor more secure.
