User Guide | OCTO: telemetry device for coolers remote control and tracking Content 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. Introduction The PROCTO is one of the telemetry device that Danfoss uses in order to create an Internet Of Things. The PROCTO is able to communicate a specified set off alms raised on the cooler. To this aim, the PR OCTO has to work in conjunction with the electronic thermostat of the cooler, which controls the co mpressor of the cooler.
User Guide | PROCTO: telemetry device for coolers remote control and tracking SIDE B POWER SUPPLY: 100 – 240 V ~ COMM STATUS: The communication port with the electronic thermostat. On SIDE A the OCTO for SLOT 2020 device presents two LEDs. The red one, on the right, gives information about the power supply and about the communication with the electronic thermostat, while the green one, on the left, gives information about the GPRS network and about the communication with the Danfoss infrastructure.
3. Compatibility The device PROCTO gives the possibility to perform the block command and to grasp diagnostic information only in conjunction with an electronic thermostat. The current version of the PROCTO includes the compatibility with the Danfoss ERC 111 and 112 thermostats. For other models and brands please contact your commercial contact. 4. Connections and wires The PROCTO requires two connections, one for the power supply, the other with the electro nic thermostat.
User Guide | PROCTO: telemetry device for coolers remote control and tracking Concerning the COMM Cable (the communication cable between the PROCTO and the electronic thermostat) a specified cable has to be used depending on the specified thermostat. The COMM Cable could be either assembled by the cooler manufacturer or could be purchased from Prosa (please refer to “PROCTO: COMM Cable document”). Note: The COMM Cable for Danfoss thermostats have to be purchased from Danfoss. 5.

Once discovered the best position with respect to the Antenna Signal Level, it is possible to decide if it is the case to protect the Side B (the one with the connectors) of the OCTO. To this aim, it can be adopted the same approach that the cooler manufacturer uses to protect the connector side of the electronic thermostat, hence a piece of plastic with an appropriate shape can be used.

Installation in the coolers During the industrial production of the coolers, there should be a phase in which the electronic thermostat is installed. In the same phase, also the OCTO device has to be installed.
7. Prosa mandatory settings This section is to highlight the fundamental importance of the STEP 7 listed in Section 6. The table illustrated in Fig. 9 on the right is fundamental, and has to be communicated to Prosa before to ship the coolers to the customer. Note: The model of the cooler, the cooler serial number and the Device Code of the OCTO installed in the cooler, MUST be communicated to Prosa. Only knowing the association cooler - OCTO, Prosa can set Prosa in order to trace the cooler in the system.

. Warnings The installation of the OCTO has to be performed only and exclusively by qualified and skilled technicians. The installation of the OCTO should be performed while the cooler is switched-off. Inside the device there is a GPRS antenna. For this reason, while the OCTO is working it must be at the minimum distance of 9.5 cm (4”) from the people. The installation must be done to ensure this distance. The OCTO has to be installed in a protected position.
