1 Controller Overview The cabinet is fitted with an SCS Connect electronic controller, which is pre-programmed. SKOPE does not recommend changing the settings unless it is absolutely necessary. To ensure efficient operation, the controller automatically forces a defrost cycle when required.
The service mode can be run using the controller faceplate, but SKOPE strongly recommends using the SCS Connect Field app. You will need a 9-digit PIN to enter the service mode via the controller. If you don’t have one, contact your User Manager (Corporate) or SKOPE Customer Services (General Market) to request a PIN.
2. Open the required app on your smart device. Field App The SCS Connect Field app gives authorised service technicians wireless access to the controller from mobile devices with Bluetooth capability. The app provides data logging, alarm notification, and control over inputs (e.g. probes and switches) and outputs (e.g. relays).
SKOPE SCS Connect Electronic Controller Note: Only inputs connected to, or components directly controlled by, the SCS Connect controller will be displayed upon the Home Screen. For example, if the condenser fan is directly driven from the compressor then the condenser fan icon will not be displayed on the home screen.
SKOPE SCS Connect Electronic Controller Output Control Displays real time data when connected to the cabinet by allowing real time interaction with both inputs (probes, switches) and outputs (relays, pulse width modulation (PWM)). Note: Any selected output changes override any priorities in the controller, but are limited to 2 minutes before resetting to their previous status.
Do NOT press the Default button. The Default button sets the parameter back to AoFrio defaults, not SKOPE defaults. Load You can download the SKOPE factory parameters files stored in the cloud using the Field Parameters App when you are: •...

There are 6 sections in the SCS Setup page. The first 4 must be completed; the corporate owner may require all 6 to be completed. Asset # may be either the Corporate Asset # or the SKOPE Serial #. You can enter this manually (Corporate #), or use the camera on your device to scan the bar-code on the serial label inside the cabinet (SKOPE #).
You will only need to enter information in this tab if the corporate owner does not permit SKOPE- access to the cabinet via the SKOPE-connect application that the store owner may have. If connect the corporate owner wishes to restrict this access, you need to add a Customer ID.
SKOPE SCS Connect Electronic Controller Track App The AoFrio Track app for mobile devices transfers data from SKOPE equipment using the SCS Connect controller to a cloud-based server.
