PRE-INSTALL SURVEY
•Review all product to be installed. Visually inspect store equipment that will have devices
installed
•Record any and ALL visual defects of equipment that will be monitored or controlled
1. Refrigeration: Ice buildup on coils, room not reaching set points
2. HVAC: Units reaching set points dirty filters
3. Food Safety: Reach-in units in good or bad condition
4. Lighting: Are all the lights to be controlled working
•Take required pictures and load into pre-install check sheet.
oHVAC thermostats and set points
oWalk-in refrigeration, Cooler and Freezer
oCurrent Lighting Control, Time Clocks and Photo Control and existing contactors
•Review listed items with the Manager and have them sign off to acknowledge any Pre-Install
issues
•Submit check sheet
Tech Tip 1: Completing the Pre-Install Survey
Note: This may seem like an easy step to skip. If you start installing
before the Pre-site survey is completed and the manager has not
signed off on any pre-existing issues, then guaranteed, any issues
will be blamed on the install. To protect yourself and your company
from any liability, I suggest you complete your pre-sight survey. It is
imperative the manager signs-off on ANY known equipment issues
before you start the install.

Now that you’ve installed the app:
The default screen should be your current location.
The app UI like the installation process is divided up into
3 sections/steps:
•Verify BOM – used to verify equipment specked
against the actual equipment needed. The
values in this section determine what the next
two sections look like. For instance, if a location
only has 2 thermostats noted in this section, the
previous two sections will only ask for
information on 2 thermostats etc. Many times,
this section may have no changes necessary.
•Pre-Install – used to collect information on the
location prior to any equipment being installed.
•Install – used to collect information after all
equipment is installed.
Within each section, you’ll be presented with a store
number, map icon, phone icon, text bubble, and a right
arrow on the far right. Use the map icon to open your
mobile devices default navigation app and provide
directions to the location. Use the phone and/or text icon
to call and/or text the store contact on file. Use the right
arrow to begin the process of completing the install step
for that location.
When inside of any of the sections/steps, use the green
pencil at the bottom, right to edit or input values in the
information fields.

Ok coolers are easy because they don’t have heat strips, right? Well most of the time
Well they can be a bear sometimes. Some are 110vac and while others are 220vac Just remember to utilize the
same rules you used for the Freezer
1. Where is my power (this would be the incoming power from the breaker)
2. Identify fan switch leg
3. Identify solenoid switch leg test power to ground to determine voltage 110v or 220v,
•if 110v connect ground wire from controller to the neutral wire on the incoming power.
•If 220v connect the white wire to the second line of power.
