the package
The Danfoss Bluetooth® gateway is used in the connection between a controller and a computer when
running Tool4Cool® software.
The gateway is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an external power source
is not required. This makes the gateway particularly suitable in mobile applications.
Under normal circumstances no driver installation is required and the gateway functions fully inde-
pendently of the operating system platform in use. However if problems arise, please refer to
section 8.
Please read the instructions in this handbook before using the gateway for the first time.
