• Cooler Event Log - Access all historical data that has occurred between store visits to identify any issues or problems.
• Manage Settings and Parameters - View and configure predefined FCAx3 controller parameters for cooler optimisation.
Set BLE Beaconing protocols and event logging.
• Connect to the Cloud - Upload data to the cloud for access on the online portal for further analysis.
The FCAx3 controller also features iBeacon and Eddystone Beacon capabilities allowing proximity marketing to send engaging
and interactive content to consumers’ smartphones while they buy in real-time.
4.8.1 RECHARGEABLE BATTERY (INTERNAL BLUETOOTH MODEL ONLY)
The internal battery allows the FCAx3 to keep Real Time Clock (RTC) while there is no mains supply. The battery can also be
used to power the Bluetooth so the device can still advertise/beacon.
The battery will last approximately 15 days RTC / 10 days RTC + BLE Advertising.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION
It is not recommended for users to replace the battery so please contact Sollatek. The replacement
battery should be of the same type.
Dispose of the used batteries according to national standards and directives.
4.9 CONNECTIVITY DEVICE (GMC4)
4.9.1 CELLULAR FEATURES
The GMC4 is equipped with cellular connectivity capabilities of 2G or Cat-M (depending on the model), enabling it to transmit
data over the secure global network for you to access on the online portal for cooler monitoring. The online portal can be
accessed on any device with an internet connection. The GMC4 is provided with a global roaming SIM pre-installed. Via the
online portal, you can:
• Detailed Reports - View a vast list of controller operational data such as temperature, event history, and faults.
• Intelligent Data Analysis - Monitor technical and operational data in easy-to-read graphs and charts.
• Accurate Sales Performance - view and analyse cooler KPIs for enhanced sales forecasting and strategy.
• Over the Air Parameter Configuration - View and configure predefined GMC4 controller parameters for cooler
optimisation
• Remote Cooler Shut-down - In the event the cooler is stolen, disable the cooler so it cannot be used. Once the cooler is
recovered the cooler can then be enabled.
The transmission interval of cooler health data can be configured via the Sollatek Smart Device Application. Health data will
not be transmitted while being powered by the battery.
4.9.2 GEO-LOCATION
The GMC4 provides Wi-Fi geo-location for precise asset tracking anywhere in the world. The GMC4 collects and sends Wi-Fi
signal strength and WAP information from nearby devices (without connecting to the Wi-Fi network). The system then uses the
leading Wi-Fi location database to determine the location of the GMC4 and cooler. The location can be seen on a dynamic
map on the portal.
• View current and historic cooler locations.
• Real-time tracking of cooler location during movement (depending on transmission interval set).
The transmission interval of Wi-Fi data is fully configurable via the Sollatek Smart Device Application.
4.10 DIGITAL DISPLAY MODULE
The FCAx3 can be connected to the Sollatek FDM3 digital display. This allows you to:
• View and configure controller status/mode.
• Configure pre-set parameters.
• View controller alarms and faults.
