The Aroma360 Interactive Scenting Kiosk (ISK) is a sophisticated, multisensory device designed to enhance any space with fragrance and digital advertising. It combines advanced cold air diffusion technology with a large digital display, offering a unique ambiance and a platform for dynamic content.
Function Description
The primary function of the ISK is to disperse fragrance oil using cold air diffusion, covering an area of up to 4,000 square feet. It is designed to hold two 500 mL bottles of Aroma360 fragrance oil, allowing for continuous scenting. The device also features a 43-inch touch screen LCD display with built-in speakers, enabling digital advertising and the creation of a lively, engaging experience. This dual functionality makes the ISK suitable for various environments, including hotel lobbies, convention centers, and retail stores, where both ambiance and promotional content are desired.
The ISK operates through an integrated system that can be controlled via a mobile device using the Aroma-Link app. This app facilitates both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections, providing flexible control over the scenting schedule and intensity. Users can set specific start and end times for diffusion, define work and pause intervals in seconds, and customize these settings for different days of the week. The device supports multiple working periods, allowing for varied scenting experiences throughout the day or week.
Beyond scenting, the ISK's digital display offers a range of interactive features. It comes pre-installed with several applications, including the Amazon App Store for downloading additional apps, Amazon Music for playing audio, Google Chrome for web browsing and displaying landing pages, and a dedicated Video App for playing content from external drives. The display's navigation bar provides intuitive controls for home, back, multitask, and volume adjustments, enhancing user interaction with the digital content.
Usage Features
Setting up the ISK involves a few straightforward steps, ideally performed by two people due to its size and weight. After unboxing, the ISK unit is carefully laid on its side to attach the base stand using the provided socket cap screws and Allen key. Adjustable level shoes are then secured to the bottom corners of the base stand to ensure stability. Once the base stand is attached, the unit is lifted to an upright position, and the Wi-Fi antenna is connected to the wireless port on the lower back. Finally, the ISK is plugged into a standard 100V~120V – 15~20A outlet, and the main power switch is turned on.
Adding fragrance oil to the ISK is a simple process. Users unlock the front panels with a key, open the swivel doors, and detach the 500 mL bottles from their holders. The bottles are then unscrewed, filled with the preferred Aroma360 fragrance oil, and securely screwed back into place. It is crucial to ensure the nozzle is properly pushed into its socket before returning the bottles to their holders, closing the panels, and locking the doors.
Controlling the cold air diffusion can be done through either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi via the Aroma-Link app. For Bluetooth control, users turn on the power button for each diffuser located on top of the door panel, open the Aroma-Link app, select "Bluetooth," and then choose the desired diffuser. A default password ("1234") is required to access control settings. Users can then customize the diffusion schedule, including start and end times, and work/pause intervals. The default setting is 10 seconds of diffusion and 2 minutes of pause, but this can be adjusted. The app allows for scheduling different diffusion settings for specific days of the week, enabling varied intensity or fragrance changes.
For Wi-Fi control, new users must register an account on the Aroma-Link app. This involves downloading the app, creating an account, filling out necessary fields, and verifying the registration via email. Once logged in, users press the "WIFI/3G/4G/Cellular" button, then "Add Device," and select "Add Wi-Fi Device." They enter the router name and password, activate each diffuser by inputting a Bluetooth PIN (default "1234"), and confirm. Existing users can simply log into their Aroma-Link account and access the dashboard via the "WIFI/3G/4G/Cellular" button to manage their diffusers. The Wi-Fi connection allows for remote control of scent diffusion, provided the ISK, the mobile device, and the app are all connected to the internet and logged in with the same credentials.
The digital display offers various interactive features. Users can browse installed apps, play videos from an external USB drive, or stream music. To play videos, a USB containing video files is inserted into the USB port at the back panel. The Video widget in the app automatically scans the files, allowing users to select a video to play. The video navigation bar includes an option to loop single or multiple videos. The display's touch screen interface and built-in speakers provide an immersive experience for digital content.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the ISK. A crucial caution is to never add water to the aroma oils; only undiluted aroma should be poured into the empty bottles. When transporting the diffuser, it is imperative to remove the aroma oils to prevent damage. The diffuser must always be kept in an upright position to avoid leakage and potential damage to the unit. Ensuring that the aroma oil bottle is properly aligned and tightly sealed is also vital to prevent leaks.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to clean the unit every two months by running alcohol through the diffuser for 15-30 minutes. This helps maintain the diffusion mechanism. Users are advised not to attempt to disassemble the unit. If any issues arise, support should be contacted directly.
The troubleshooting guide provides solutions for common problems. If date and time settings are incorrect, users should check location settings and manage date/time in System Settings. For issues with the ISK not diffusing, checks include ensuring the pipette and bottle are properly installed, verifying oil levels, pressing the reset button, and observing the light indicator for connection status (fast blue blinking for not connected, slow flashing blue for connected, green for diffusing). A hard reset (turning off the diffuser switch for 5 seconds and turning it back on) may also resolve diffusion issues.
If the screen is not turning on, users should check the power cable and ensure the main power switch is on. For Bluetooth detection problems, it's important to confirm that the power switch for each diffuser is on, check the light indicator, and perform a hard reset if necessary. Wi-Fi connection issues require checking the ISK's network connection, pressing the reset button, and performing a hard reset. If the ISK is not connecting, users should check their Wi-Fi connection, ensure the Wi-Fi antenna is properly installed, and perform a hard reset of the main power switch. Finally, for video playback problems, users should verify that the USB is properly inserted and that the video is formatted as MP4 in 1080p.
