Detailed Configuration

This document covers all the configuration options of the Cold Room module. For the minimum setup path, see the Getting Started.

Setup Page

Navigation path: Cold Room > Setup

The Setup page is the central configuration point. It displays three areas:

Area	Description
Zones	Cold rooms and recovery areas with their temperature regimes
Workers	Employee registration with work schedule and beacon assignment
Site defaults	Regime template applied automatically to new zones

---

Zone Configuration

Zone types

Each zone can be configured into one of three states:

Type	Description	Behavior
Cold Room	Monitored refrigerated environment	Active exposure timer, progressive alerts, session recording
Recovery Area	Thermal break zone	Active break timer, sufficiency validation
Not configured	Ordinary site zone	No cold room monitoring

Important

A zone is either a cold room or a recovery area — never both at the same time. The system prevents conflicting configuration.

Listing and filters

The zone list lets you filter by type (all, cold rooms, recovery, not configured):

Configuring a cold room

When you edit a zone and mark it as a cold room, the following options become available:

Declared temperature

The operating temperature of the cold room (in °C). The system uses this value to automatically select the applicable exposure regime:

• 0.0°C to -17.9°C → Light regime (100 min / 20 min break)
• -18.0°C to -27.9°C → Moderate regime (80 min / 20 min break)
• -28.0°C to -80.0°C → Severe regime (60 min / 30 min break)

Regime ranges

The colored bar visualization shows the temperature ranges and their limits. Each range indicates the maximum continuous exposure time and the minimum break time for that temperature.

Exposure and break limits

Field	Description	Default
Maximum continuous exposure	Maximum time the worker may stay in the cold room without a break	Defined by the temperature regime
Minimum break	Minimum time in the recovery area for the break to be considered valid	Defined by the temperature regime

Alert thresholds

The system triggers progressive alerts at configurable percentages of the exposure limit:

Threshold	Default	Behavior
75%	Active	Visual alert (yellow badge on the zone card)
90%	Active	Visual + audible alert
100%	Active	Critical alert + automatic violation record

Advanced behavior

Option	Description	Default
Audible alarm	Play an audible alarm on the dashboard and wallboard when a threshold is reached	Active
Automatic violation record	Automatically create a violation when the limit is reached	Active

Configuring a recovery area

Recovery zones do not have temperature or regime configuration. When you mark a zone as a recovery area, it starts working as a thermal break destination — the system automatically starts the break timer when a worker with active exposure enters that zone.

Site Defaults

Site defaults work as a template: when a new zone is configured as a cold room, the default values are applied automatically (and can be overridden individually).

Field	Description
Default temperature	Temperature applied to new cold room zones
Default regime	Regime ranges with exposure and break limits
Alert thresholds	Percentages for progressive alerts
Behavior	Audible alarm and automatic violation record

---

Worker Management

Worker registration

Worker registration is done in the dedicated Setup section:

Field	Description	Required
Name	Worker's full name	Yes
Employee ID	Functional identification at the company	Yes
Department	Assigned sector	No
Role	Position/role performed	No
Work schedule	Shift duration in hours (e.g.: 8.8)	Yes
Status	Active or Inactive	Yes

Regulatory reference

The Work schedule field is essential for the NR-36 calculation: the system uses this value to determine the total thermal breaks required per shift. An 8h48 (8.8h) schedule requires 60 minutes of accumulated breaks.

Worker profile

The individual profile shows the registration data and the beacon assignment section:

Beacon assignment

Each worker needs an assigned personal beacon in order to be tracked by the system:

1. Open the worker's profile
2. In the Assign Beacon section, select an available beacon from the list
3. Confirm the assignment

The assignment is time-based — when you unassign a beacon, the system records the unassignment date and keeps the full history. A beacon can only be assigned to one worker at a time.

Work schedule and NR-36 validation

The work schedule field directly determines the NR-36 compliance calculation:

Registered work schedule	Required accumulated break
Up to 6h	20 minutes
6h01 to 7h20	45 minutes
7h21 to 8h48	60 minutes
Over 8h48	60 minutes + proportional

If a worker's schedule is changed, the validation of the next shifts will use the new value.

Deactivating a worker

Workers can be deactivated (Inactive status) without deletion. Inactive workers do not appear in monitoring, but their historical records are preserved for auditing.
