The REDworks Scout, Nomad and Pioneer panels all require an auxiliary battery connection to enable Bluetooth®.
Scout and Nomad units use the Smart Battery Monitor for pairing, with the control button and status LED guiding you through connection to either the RedVision User App or the Configurator App. Pairing involves entering Bluetooth® mode, selecting the matching serial number in the app and waiting for the status LED to turn solid blue.
The Pioneer50 can pair through either the Smart Battery Monitor or directly through the REDvision screen, which displays a six digit code for authentication. Once paired, users can view system data through the User App or configure their setup through the Configurator App after confirming the correct serial number and completing the required prompts.
