1.1 General
description
1.3 Contents of
the package
The Danfoss Bluetooth® gateway is used in the connection between a controller and a computer when
running Tool4Cool® software.
The gateway is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an external power source
is not required. This makes the gateway particularly suitable in mobile applications.
Under normal circumstances no driver installation is required and the gateway functions fully independently of the operating system platform in use. However if problems arise, please refer to
section 8.
Please read the instructions in this handbook before using the gateway for the first time.

Operating Instructions
1.2 Important to
know
1. The Bluetooth® gateway is battery driven. It is not fully charged upon new delivery.
Charging the gateway may take up to 2 hours. The gateway may be used while charging.
2. When fully charged the gateway will run continuously 8 – 12 hours without power supply.
3. The maximum range is ~10 meters.
4. The Bluetooth® gateway may be permanently installed in an application.
In permanent applications the charger enclosed upon delivery is used as a power supply.
5. If no serial communication occurs over a period of 60 seconds then the Bluetooth® gateway will
shut down to conserve the battery. If the finding and pairing of the Bluetooth® device takes more
than 60 seconds then the gateway will shut down. In the event that the gateway shuts down in the
middle of an operation simply turn it on again and repeat the operation.
6. Requirements for Bluetooth® adapters:

2.3 Charging the
battery
The Danfoss Bluetooth® gateway is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an
external power source is not required. This makes the gateway particularly suitable in mobile applications.
We recommend charging the battery before using the device for the first time.
To avoid overcharging and faulty operation, always use the battery charger supplied with the gateway.
The time required for full charging is approximately 2 hours.
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the charger to the USB port at the rear of the Bluetooth® gateway
2. Then connect the charger to the wall socket.
3. The status of the charging process is indicated by LED1 (“Charging”) on the gateway, as follows:
Battery status, during charging with the USB power supply:
LED1 Meaning
RED Battery is charging - charge duration to full capacity for empty battery approx. 2 hours
OFF RS485 Danfoss Bluetooth® gateway is not connected to the charger or the battery is fully charged.
2.4 Recommendations 1. Keep the gateway fully charged, so it is ready for field work.
2. Keep an USB-cable/charger as a backup in the car just for the case someone forgets to charge the
gateway battery
