Monitoring unit
Type PR-OCTO
IoT Enabler for remote control and tracking of refrigeration equipment
The PR-OCTO device is an IoT Enabler speci€cally designed for cooling applications like bottle coolers, ice cream cabinets and other refrigeration type of equipment. This Enabler allows connectivity and access to the Alsense™ Cloud solutions from Danfoss.
The OCTO can operate connected to existing electronic controllers, gathering the data from the controller using a communication port or as a stand alone device, using the 4 available inputs to gather temperature and status information. Using the embedded modem, the Bluetooth link and the WiFi capabilities of the device, it can provide multiple options of communications with the cloud and very accurate positioning.

The PR-OCTO requires two connections, one for the power supply, the other with the electronic thermostat.
The power supply must be shared with the electronic thermostat: the PR-OCTO must be powered on only when the thermostat is also powered on. If the PR-OCTO is powered on when the thermostat is o…, a “Controller communication failure” alarm is raised after 60 minutes.
NOTE:
Neither the cables nor the connectors are included in the PR-OCTO package.
For the POWER SUPPLY connector of the PR-OCTO, either two standard fast-on connectors or one connector with screw terminal can be used. In Table 3, illustrates the Lumberg 3611 02 K1, an easy plug connector with lift clamp and protection against misplacing and fast assembling. Neither the easy plug connector nor the standard fast-on connectors are included in the PR-OCTO package.
NOTE:
If the power supply cable is not double insulated, it must be physically separated from the COMM cable.
