LS Config App makes it possible for end-users and service personnel to operate and set-up a product or system using a mobile. To get started the QR-code on the product must be scanned using the camara of the mobile. The App will then collect product profile etc. from a server. At start-up the mobile must be connected to the internet and both Bluetooth and location must be active during collection of data. After this initial start up the LS Config App is ready to be used to get data points shown and enter/change set points for the connected product. It is only necessary to be connected to the internet once a week when using the LS Config App to operate the connected product. LS Config App can be used to operate the connected product, even if mobile is offline, as long as it is within Bluetooth range. You may select one of the following languages as you prefer: Danish, English, German or Swedish. Part of the LS Config App is for service personnel only. This part of the App requires a special login provided by the product manufacturer. Especially service personnel will benefit from the feature that the same app can connect to all products with the LS Config QR code applied – even when of very different usage and/or from different manufacturers. The App will recognize the product and load the correct profile from the server.

This app is a power monitoring tool that allows the user to monitor the load usage on an RV or other application. This same app is used for the family of Active Controls hardware including the well pump and standard softstarter like our SS16 rooftop unit. The app also allows the user to diagnose issues related to shutting down the Active Controls unit. This app monitors, voltage, current, frequency and other faults that can lead to problems for the electronics thus shutting down the output to protect the appliances and the whole RV or other application.
