Process Overview
The following process details the steps required for Connect Monitor installation, commissioning, and
activation within the Wellington Connect ecosystem and reporting tools.
The installation process is designed for different scenarios:
•In-factory installation by equipment manufacturers;
•Warehouse installation by customers;
•Field installation by authorized personnel.
An NFC phone is required to activate Bluetooth connectivity. These steps are marked with
the NFC symbol in the process diagram. If no suitable mobile phones are available at
installation site, Bluetooth connectivity needs to be activated in warehouse, prior to field
deployment.
Bluetooth deactivation for transport is not required, except when in accordance to
shipment compliance. Please consult your logistics specialist for requirements.
Wellington recommends Bluetooth deactivation when transit duration is expected to be
extensive, to preserve battery and extend the device usable life.
Connect Monitor
is designed to recognize when equipment has been removed from
operation. Therefore, deactivation for warehousing is not necessary.

The Connect Monitor arrives from manufacturer with Bluetooth
communications configured to OFF to preserve battery and extend usable
life.
Activation of the Connect Monitor turns on Bluetooth communications and
must be performed using an NFC capable device. All other configurations
can be performed over Bluetooth connection.
•Bulk Activation is designed for use when activating multiple devices
prior to installation;
•Single Activation is designed for single (or low count) device
activation at the time of installation.
Once activated, the following data must be configured to ensure data
collection and storage for the Connect Monitor:
•Manufacturer Id
•Owner Id
•Brand Id
•Asset Number
The following data should also be configured when Connect Monitor is
installed into an asset:
•Model
•Serial Number
When an asset fitted with Connect Monitor is delivered to a field location, or
installed in outlet, the following data should be entered through the SCS
Field mobile app.
•Installation Address
•Additional Data
•Photos and Notes
Attributes which must be
configured:
•Manufacturer Id
•Owner Id
•Brand Id
•Asset Number
Attributes which should be

Physical Installation
Position and Location
For optimum operation, the choice of physical location and position of the Connect Monitor should meet all
the following criteria.
FOR COOLERS WITH EVAPORATORS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE CABINET:
Connect Monitor must be mounted BELOW the
evaporator inlet, preferably ABOVE the top shelf.
Connect Monitor works best when mounted on the side
wall on the HINGE side of the cooler.
When possible, mount Connect Monitor
away from LED
panels to improve
temperature measurement accuracy.
Hinge side placement reduces the visual
impact and likelihood of Connect Monitor
being accidentally knocked out of place.
This ensures the Connect Monitor reads the
return air temperature correctly.
Installation ABOVE the evaporator inlet
may result in incorrect temperature reading
due to placement in an air circulation dead-
space that is often different to the cabinet
temperature.
If installation in accordance to the below conditions proves to be challenging, please
contact your WDTL representative to review appropriate recommendations.

FOR COOLERS WITH EVAPORATORS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINET:
Connect Monitor must be mounted in front of the
evaporator inlet.
When possible, mount Connect Monitor
away from LED
panels to improve
temperature measurement accuracy.
This ensures the Connect Monitor reads the
return air temperature correctly.
Installation not in the airflow stream may
result in incorrect temperature reading due
to placement in an air circulation dead-
space that is often different to the overall
cabinet temperature.

FOR ALL INSTALLATION TYPES:
The side closer to the screw holes must be
installed facing the door.
For the FIELD TRIAL SAMPLE UNITS ONLY!!
When installed, the barcode should be FACING
THE FRONT of the cooler, and hence be visible.
The front edge of the Connect Monitor should be
installed within 70 mm (2 3/4”) of the point where
the door seals touch the cabinet wall.
This is critical to ensure door opening
detection.
If you cannot see the barcode label
after installation, Connect Monitor is
installed facing the wrong way and
door openings will not be detected.
This ensures accurate door detection.
If the device is placed too far from the
door, door opening count will not be
accurate.
