Technical Specifications; First-Time Installation By The Service Engineer - fluidra ConnectBox Manual

ConnectBox Manual EN
Description:
Thank you for purchasing ConnectBox and using it through a connection to FluidraConnect. ConnectBox serves as the control centre
of your pool through an Internet connection, which will enable your pool service engineer to set up and maintain your pool. As the
end user (pool owner), you can download an APP free of charge from Apple Store® or GooglePlay® so that you are able to use
ConnectBox for entertainment devices while you relax by your pool. ConnectBox is not a consumer good and should be installed by a
qualified expert (www.fluidraconnect.com). Once installed, ConnectBox will pair up with FluidraConnect compatible devices using a
Modbus communications protocol, thus enabling remote pool management. End users may request support, maintenance or any
other intervention by the service engineer who set up the installation, or others who are listed on the APP.
