Outbox
After a successful link or scan the task is stored
in the Shelf Controller Outbox and the outbox
LED will flash blue until the command is
successfully transferred to the server. The Shelf
Controller can be used even if a wifi connection
is missing. All tasks will then be stored in
the Outbox and transferred once the Shelf
Controller gets network access again.
• Single blue flash: No Wi-Fi coverage at the
moment.
• Double blue flash: Has Wi-Fi connection but
cannot connect to server, or the server does
not respond with status code 2xx.
• When in sleep mode, the outbox LED will
beep and give a short blue flash every five
seconds indicating that there are unsent
tasks. This will continue for 30 minutes, after
that the beep and flash is repeated once
every 30 minutes.
• The outbox can store 200 scans. A full
outbox is indicated by three beeps and the
outbox LED flashes red. Scanning is then
disabled. To be able to scan again, empty
the outbox either by connecting to the
server so the commands can be transferred
or go to AP mode and delete the outbox.
Important! Make sure all actions in Outbox have
been transmitted before ending work session.
Otherwise actions may be transmitted after
deadline.
Low battery
When the battery level is low, the battery LED
will flash red to indicate that the Shelf
Controller should be charged. The Shelf
Controller can still be used for a while but is
then disabled in order to protect the batteries. If
the Shelf Controller has stored scans in
the Outbox those scans will be kept and
transmitted once the Shelf Controller is charged.
Charging
To charge the Shelf Controller, connect it to a
PC or mobile charger using a USB-C cable.
During charging the battery LED flashes green.
Once the Shelf Controller is fully charged the
battery LED turns steady green.
Configure sound and vibration
The Shelf Controller gives feedback on actions
using LEDs, sound and vibration. Default sound
and vibration settings are configured in the web
interface.
• During normal operation it is possible to
toggle sound (Off, low, high) by pressing
buttons 12 and 9 for 1 s.
• During normal operation it is possible to
toggle vibration (Off, On) by pressing
buttons 12 and 10 for 1 s.
• The Shelf Controller returns to the default
sound and vibration settings after 8 hours of
inactivity.
2 Configuring the Shelf Controller
Enter AP mode
• An unconfigured Shelf Controller will
automatically enter Access-Point (AP) mode
when pressing one of the action buttons.
• A configured Shelf Controller can be
reconfigured by putting it in AP mode by
pushing Button 1 and Button
2 simultaneously for 5 seconds. One beep
will sound and then the outbox LED starts
flashing white.
Configure in AP mode
• With the Shelf Controller in AP mode, use
your laptop or phone to search for the Shelf
Controller wifi network Pricer_Remote_xxxx
and connect using a web browser to
address 192.168.4.1. In the web browser,
you will find different settings like Wi-Fi
network name / Password, Backend server
address and Sound/vibration settings.
• The Shelf Controller is default configured to
acquire IP address via DHCP. For static
address, check the Use Static IP checkbox
and enter your data.
• The Shelf Controller supports WPA2
Personal and WPA Enterprise (PEAP-
MSCHAPv2) networks. For Enterprise,
check the PEAP checkbox and enter a
username.

Save configuration
Once the user configuration is submitted the
Shelf Controller control will attempt to connect to
provided network and go to sleep. The config
page will display the result of the connection
test:
• Even if the test fails the config is saved. This
means that configuration can be done in
advance at a location where the wifi is not
present.
• If the Shelf Controller control is left
unconfigured the user can manually put it to
sleep to save battery by pushing any of the
buttons except Button 1 and Button 2.
• In AP mode, the outbox can be cleared by
pressing buttons 3 and 4 for 5 seconds. The
command is acknowledged by two short
beeps and the Outbox LED flashes green.
No other configuration is affected.
• In AP mode, Factory reset can be obtained
by pressing buttons 7 and 8 for 5 seconds.
The command is acknowledged by three
short beeps. Factory reset will clear all
configuration and delete any left items in the
outbox.
3 Firmware update
The Shelf Controller supports Over the air
(OTA) updates.
• Enter AP by pushing Button 1 and Button
2 simultaneously for 5 seconds. One beep
will sound and then the outbox LED starts
flashing white.
• Press buttons 5 and 6 simultaneously for
5 seconds. One beep will sound, and the
outbox LED will start flashing yellow.
• The Shelf Controller will connect to the
customer server address configured in the
Shelf Controller and look for new update
in the /ota folder.
Successful update is indicated by the outbox
LED turns green for 5 seconds and two beeps. If
update fails, the outbox LED will turn red instead
for 5 seconds and three beeps will sound. After
a failed update attempt, an error code is
displayed on the Shelf Controller’s config page
which can give a hint of what went wrong.
