## What is RESCUE Select?

RESCUE® Select Programming App 

Used with RESCUE Select programming tool to configure motors wirelessly.


The RESCUE Select Programming App streamlines programming of the RESCUE Select Truck Stock motor. Developed for use in residential and light commercial blower motor replacement applications, the motor and programming app work in tandem to help HVACR service contractors:
•	Identify an original blower motor’s particular horsepower ratings and operating parameters (ex. torque load, fan speed, rotation direction)
•	Program an in-stock replacement motor to mimic that original performance profile. 
•	Stock a smaller range of aftermarket motors and use them to replace nearly any original blower motor or other electrically-powered device or system. 
•	Program and install a blower motor directly at the point of replacement, versus off site or in the shop. 
•	Customize or develop new performance profiles that match special or unique application requirements.
The RESCUE Select Programming App is driven by a continuously updated database populated with thousands of OEM motor profiles.

Powered by a robust, cloud-based web service, the RESCUE Select Programming App can be accessed via any smartphone or compatible Wi-Fi-enabled device.

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2023-10-12*

I’m literally copy and pasting my user name and password from the email they sent me and the app says they are wrong.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2023-05-31*

Put some pin connectors on the dang thing for rotation / speed etc . 0-2 so far with these motors .motors that are allowed to "decide" rotation are a bad idea .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-07-29, version 1.3.4*

App just keeps crashing, can’t even use it.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed app

*2021-10-07, version 1.3.4*

Several issues. Very poor instructions as to motor ID number. Bar code scanner doesn’t work. App can’t find motor using every number on any label. App freezes on screens and you have to close app and restart. Training video lacks any precise info in my opinion. I like the idea but the app designers really failed. Tried to find additional info after getting home and so far no luck. Still need to return to program the motor as it was left in default settings. Very disappointed so far with the product.

### 3/5 — Need update

*2021-10-07, version 1.3.4*

Update your app please. There are no words on the pop up screens or selector switches. I’m using ad iPhone. Also when I tried on my other phone which is a note 20, the Bluetooth would not connect even after resetting everything.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-07-07, version 1.3.3*

App doesn’t load data and clearly the company doesn’t care or it would have been fixed by now you’re better off ordering an oem motor than dealing with this crap

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-04-30, version 1.3.3*

App shouldn’t have been released, there’s no way this was tested before it’s release

### 1/5 — App needs to be update.

*2020-10-09, version 1.3.3*

App won’t load correctly. Can’t get the app to show information. Buttons and fields have no labels to identify what to input.
