Accessing the Conguration Tool (cont.)
4. Open the Wi-Fi settings in your computer and connect to the Wi-Fi network matching the SSID.
If your computer is currently using Wi-Fi to access the internet, you will no longer have an
internet connection during conguration. If you are connected to the internet via Ethernet
cable, you will not lose your connection.
Note: When connecting your PC to the SSID displayed on the SKT you may see that initially
the network is locked. If this is the case, simply close the network selection window, wait a few
seconds, and then reopen it until the network is open.
5. After the WiFi connection has been established open a web browser and enter the IP address
listed on the SKT screen into the browser bar to access the Conguration Tool.
Tip: It is recommended that you enable either private browsing or incognito mode on your
browser in order to avoid any possible caching issues with cookies. The Conguration Tool has
been optimized for Google Chrome and Safari browsers.
Note: The SKT should remain on the SSID screen for the duration of programming. If at any
point during programming through the Conguration Tool the SKT is powered down or you exit
the SSID screen, the SKT will lose its connection. To return to the SSID screen, access the menu
on the SKT and locate “Recongure Device” inside the “Setup” tab. If you accidentally skipped
ahead to the “Device Assignment” or “Conguration Summary” page, simply tap the “Back”

Creating a Food Group
The SKT allows for the programming of 16 groups with up to 4 groups per SKT. Food Groups
are useful for navigating larger menus by grouping and categorizing items which are similar or
related.
1. Click “Food Groups” in the “Components” side menu
2. Click “+ Add Group,” then enter the desired group name and group label before saving by
clicking the oppy disk icon.
3. Repeat as necessary for any additional Food Groups
Note: Group Labels will display on the SKT with the given Group Label. When deselected
they will appear gray and when selected they will appear green.

9
Creating an Item
The SKT allows for the programming of up to 1000 items on a single device, and up to 8 duty
cycles and messages fora standard item. Items can be anythingfrom food items and ingredients
to tasks and events. To create a new item, rst access the Conguration Tool, click “Items” in
the “Components” side menu, then click “Add Item” to begin the item creation process. Before
continuing, decide whether you would like to create a standard timer, a Daily Based Timer, or a
Continuous Timer.
Standard Timer: This is the default timer when creating a new item. A standard timer will count
down from the set total time, display the desired alert message(s), and then complete once the
nal message is cleared by the user.
1. First, enter the desired item name.
2. Click the “+” button under the message label, enter the desired cook/hold time, enter the
message you would like displayed upon timer completion and select “Create.” Repeat as
necessary for any additional duty cycles.
Tip: You can also manage all of your programmed messages through the “Messages” tab in
the side menu. Adding messages in this menu also provides the option to add the same
message translated to the desired language.
3. Click the question mark under “Add or Select Icon” and either select an icon from the
database or upload your own by accessing the “Icons” tab.
4. Select the group you would like to associate the item with or select “Non-Group.”
Tip: If you would rather have an item visible on the SKT screen at all times, selecting Non-
Group would be the preferred option.
5. Lastly, save your changes by clicking the oppy disk icon.
Daily Based Timer: This creates a timer for which an alert will be displayed every day at the
specied time. You also have the ability to select multiple times of the day for which you would
like to receive the alert.
Continuous Timer: Selecting this option will create a timer that will repeat at a specied interval.
You must rst clear the triggered alert message before the timer will automatically reset.

10
Pairing SKTs
The SKT allows for the pairing of up to 7 Slave units with a Master. The Slave units do not need to
be individually programmed. You will create congurations for all paired SKT’s using the Master
by connecting it to the Conguration Tool and creating individual Devices to be assigned as
stations for the Slave units. To use SKT’s in a Master/Slave relationship, you must have a WiFi
dongle inserted into the USB port of all devices at all times.
1. To start, be sure that all SKT’s are congured in the “Connected” operating mode. To
do this, enter the “Setup” tab in the SKT menu, tap “Recongure Device”, and select
“Connected” as the operating mode. Do this on all units you wish to pair.
2. Select “Master” as the device type on the primary SKT (normally this would be the unit
you plan on using as a cook timer) and select “Slave” for the remaining units.
Note: There can only be one Master device in a setup.
3. At this point you will leave the Slave unit(s) alone and continue by connecting the Master
to the Conguration Tool.
4. Once the Master is connected to the Conguration Tool, proceed with programming all of
your items not just for the Master but for the Slave unit(s) as well. When nished, click the
“+” under “Devices” on the side menu, set the desired device conguration for the Master
device, click “Next Step”, and populate the mock screen as desired with the appropriate
items. Once nished, click “Save Device”. Repeat the last step but this time create Devices
for all Slave units. When nished, click “Send to Device” on the side menu.

11
Pairing SKTs (cont.)
5. Once the conguration has been successfully sent, close the Conguration Tool and tap
“Next” on the Master device to reach the device pairing screen. Depending on how many
SKT’s you are trying to pair, it could take anywhere from 5-60 seconds for all available
units to appear on the screen. Once visible, tap “Pair” on all SKT’s you wish to set as Slave
units. Once all Slaves have been successfully paired, tap “Next” on all devices, assign
them to the correct station, tap “Next” again and then nally “Save & Exit”. The devices
will now restart.
Note: For large congurations, it may take up to a few minutes for Slaves to receive the
conguration from the Master, and pair.
6. Once powered back up, the connection status indicator will initially be red on all paired
SKT’s but should turn green after 20-30 seconds.
Note: If there was a previous conguration on the Slave(s), you will need to tap the ashing
exclamation mark next to the indicator to update the unit with the new conguration.
Tip: You do not need to re-pair slave units when making conguration changes. Doing so
may result in communication issues.

12
Creating a Transferable Item
The transfer function allows you to transfer an item with a completed timer from one station to
another. Ex: transferring from a “Cook” unit to a “Hold” unit, after which the transferred item’s
timer will automatically begin on the “Hold” unit. To use this function, both SKT’s need to be
congured in the “Connected” operating mode with one device set as the “Master” and the
other set as “Slave.”
1. If you haven’t already done so, establish a Master/Slave relationship between the SKT’s
you wish to transfer items between.
2. Connect to the Conguration Tool with the Master unit and create separate groups for the
transferable items if you haven’t already done so. Next, create the item for the product
you would like to be transferable and assign it to the proper group. Once nished, create
a duplicate of the item, and simply replace the timer(s) and alert message(s), add any
additional duty cycles, and assign the item to the proper group.
Note: When creating a transferable item be sure to use the same name for both items. The
times, messages, and icon however, do not need to match.
3. If you haven’t already created and congured a Device for the Master and Slave units,
do so now and populate the mock screen with your items as desired. To help distinguish
between the transferable items, lter them by group. Save when nished and send the
conguration to device.
4. At this point you may close the Conguration Tool, tap “Next” on the Master, assign it to
the proper station, and nally tap “Save and Exit.” The SKT will now restart.
Note: Be sure to update the Slave unit by tapping the ashing exclamation mark.

13
Creating Job Aids
The SKT allows the programming of over 200 Job Aids which provide the operator directions on
how to perform certain tasks such as cleaning, prepping, and assembling food items.
1. To create a Job Aid, rst access the Conguration Tool and select the “Job Aids” tab from
the “Components” side menu and click “+ Add Job Aid.”
2. Enter the Job Aid name.
3. Select the Recipe Layout, whether to display recipe elements as a list or scrollable tiles.
4. Add any unique labels for your Job Aids such as KDS codes or item weight.
5. Next, we will add the steps required to assemble the food item or perform the task in
the Job Aid. First, add an icon that best represents the product or task and then enter
descriptive text for the item or action.
6. If necessary, enter any additional information such as item quantity or arrangement as
the Bottom Text and add an action icon to represent the text. Otherwise leave these
elds blank.
7. Add any additional steps as necessary. When nished, save the Job Aid by clicking the
oppy disk icon.

14
Sending Conguration to the Timer
Once you are nished programming the SKT, you will need to send the conguration to the
unit. It is also advised to create a backup of your conguration le and save it to a ash drive or
computer.
1. To begin, click the “+” under the “Devices” tab. Here you will name your device, set the
orientation, timer type, languages, and the time/unit format. Once complete, click “Next
Step” at the bottom right of the page.
2. On this next page, you will drag your items from the list onto the mock SKT screen and
arrange them as you see t. When nished, click “Save Device.”
3. Lastly, you will send your conguration to the device. To do so, simply click “Send to
Device” on the side menu. Once the conguration has been sent, tap “Next” on the SKT
screen, tap the device name you created and hit “Next”. Finally, tap “Save & Exit” to nish.
Note: If you are in Connected mode, you will also encounter the Pairing Screen in step
3. If you wish to pair additional SKT’s to this unit, refer to the Creating a Master/Slave
Relationship section of this guide. Be sure not to re-pair existing slave units.
Tip: When using a Master/Slave setup, you only need to upload the conguration le to the
master unit.

15
Uploading/Downloading Conguration Files
It is highly recommended that once you have nished programming your timer you create a
backup conguration le of your programming. Creating a copy of your conguration is also
useful for conguring multiple SKT’s with the same programming, and as a backup in case your
SKT is damaged or lost.
1. First, access the Conguration Tool using the SKT containing the conguration you would
like to make a copy of. Once on the dashboard, click “Download/Upload” in the side menu
and click “Download.” This will create a le containing the programming of your SKT. If
you plan on renaming the resulting conguration le you must use underscores in place
of any spaces in the le name. You now have a backup le you can reference later if
needed.
2. To upload this conguration le onto another unit, insert a ash drive containing the le
into the USB port on the SKT and enter the menu. Tap the “Conguration” tab, (swipe to
the bottom of the menu) and then tap “Upload Cong.” Alternatively, you can also upload
a le through the Conguration Tool by clicking “Upload” in the “Download/Upload” tab.
Note: Be sure to rst send the conguration to device before downloading the conguration
le.

16
Adding a Gateway and Wireless Sensor Modules
The SKT allows for the pairing of up to 64 Wireless Sensor Modules (WSM’s) per unit. Adding
Wireless Sensor Modules to the SKT allows the user to monitor and set alerts for temperature
and/or humidity. In order to use WSM’s with the SKT, a Gateway must rst be congured with
your system. Before you congure the Gateway to your system, you will rst need to pair your
WSM(s) to the SKT using the Conguration Tool. To access the Conguration Tool, refer to
the instructions at the beginning of this manual. Before continuing, make sure batteries are
inserted into the WSM(s) you wish to pair, and that the Gateway is powered on.
1. After accessing the Conguration Tool, make your way to the “Managers” tab and select
“Gateway/Sensors.”
2. You will now be brought to the Wireless Sensor Module pairing options. Once the WSM’s
are prepped, click the “+ Add Sensor” button. With WSM in hand, click the NFC button and
then hold the Wi-Fi logo on the top of the Module to the icon on the top right of the SKT.
It’s important to hold the Sensor Module still during this process. After a few seconds,
you should receive a popup on the Conguration Tool displaying the WSM’s information.
Click “Accept” to add the Module.
3. Next, click the “+” under “Probes” to setup the probe(s) connected to this WSM.
4. Select the icon you would like to represent the probe(s) and add probe name as you would
like it displayed in the SKT. Select the proper probe type.
5. Click “+ Add Alert,” input the desired message, select the desired “Condition” and “Value”
to trigger the alert. By default the alert will be set to “On,” to disable alerts for this probe
simply select o. Add any additional alerts to this probe as needed. Once complete, select
oppy icon to save. Repeat step 2-5 as needed.
6. Now click on the “+” under the Devices tab or click on an existing device if you have
already created one. Congure the settings for the SKT and proceed with populating the
mock SKT screen with the new Sensor(s) and Probe(s) before clicking “Save Device.”
7. Now, click “Send to Device”.
Note: If a WSM is using multi-probes or a Sensor measuring multiple perimeters, assign a
dierent number to each in the “Index” section under Probes.

17
Adding a Gateway and Wireless Sensor Modules (cont.)
8. At this point you should power up the Gateway if you haven’t already done so. Next,
navigate back to “Gateway/Sensors” under “Managers,” click “Gateway File Export” and
click “Yes” when prompted. The resulting le will be “cong.zip.”
Tip: To dierentiate between multiple Gateway cong les, create a folder with the desired
name and insert the cong le.
9. Next, insert a blank ash drive into your computers USB port and locate the Gateway
Conguration le in your downloads folder. Move the le onto the ash drive before
ejecting the drive and inserting it into the Gateway. Depending on how many WSM’s you
have in your system, the le may take up to 30 seconds to upload to the Gateway. The
LED on the Gateway will pulse on and o in 3 second intervals when the upload has
nished, after which you may remove the ash drive.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the sensors to connect to the gateway and start sending
data.
