This article describes how to access the technology inside a PicoCooler Vision. This device is a Stockwell smart cooler, and is part of the Stockwell product line.
Tools Required
- Philips-head Screwdriver
Open the PicoCooler Vision

Components
Connectivity - OptConnect Neo Cellular Router
For the USA, the device uses the OptConnect Neo to provide service. The device selects the best tower available from Verizon or AT&T.
The PicoCooler Vision does not offer offline functionality. The device must be online to process payments.
- Now that the PicoCooler Vision has been opened, ensure that the OptConnect cable and PC power cable are both properly secured into the power outlet
- Confirm that the ethernet cable is running up from the back channel into the Optconnect
- Make sure the ethernet cable is running from the Optconnect to the PC
- If the blue light on the PC is not illuminated, check that the connector is secure
Cooler
On a PicoCooler Vision, the Cooler control panel is located on the front of the cooler in the bottom right corner.
To access these buttons, slide the spring-loaded protective cover to the left.
Cameras
The PicoCooler Vision uses 5 internal facing cameras to determine which items are being purchased by the consumer.
- With the PicoCooler Vision open, check that all 5 camera cable USBs are connected. The cables for these cameras can be plugged into any USB port on the PC - the order does not matter.
-
Check that the camera cables run up a side channel of the device and out the back of the cooler to plug into the PC. A putty material covers the hole in the cooler and forms a seal around these cables. This is needed to securely seal in the cool air.
Since this sealing is mission-critical to the device, if there is any issue with the camera cable, please contact 365 Support at (888) 365-6282 or support@365smartshop.com to have a certified Due North cooler technician fix any issues.
Reinstall Back Cover
- Reinsert all components as needed
- Hold the back cover in place, lining up the holes for all four screws.
- Reattach the bottom two screws first, then the top two screws.
