The Connect™ SCS controller is an intelligent electronic thermostat and energy management device (EMD) for commercial refrigeration systems. It is ideal for open-front or closed-front bottler coolers and display cases and can replace most existing electronic thermostats, EMDs or controllers. Use cases include:

• asset tracking, offering management over your cooler locations;
• reducing costs through preventive maintenance, better planning, reduced training and faster, more effective, callouts;
• optimisation of refrigeration efficiency, with continuously variable fan speeds (when used with ECR motors);
• tracking real-world energy savings in-store with the controller’s built-in power measurement capability;
• great water resistance due to the single-piece housing, contactless programming interface, and the double-sealed rear cover;
• also features iBeacon capability for retail marketing, allowing instant engagement with consumers.

The Connect™ Track app is a leading SCS solution, allowing you to track your fleet via your mobile to see which coolers have not been tracked recently, so you can check whether they are still there or not. To find out more about Connect Track fleet management, contact us.
