Purpose

This article outlines the process for removing the Opt Connect Neo2 in a Stockwell PicoCooler Vision and replacing it with the Opt Connect Max Aware. 

Process

Tools Needed

• Philips Head Screw Driver
• Scissors or knife
• Pliers

Components

• Max Aware Device
• 25ft. Ethernet Cable

Procedure

1. Unplug PicoCooler Vision unit from wall outlet.
   
   
2. Remove the top two screws from the cover on the back of the device.
   
   
3. Remove the bottom two screws.
   • Hold the bracket with your free hand while removing screws.
     
     
4. Remove antenna cables, power cable, and ethernet from Neo2 and then cut the zip-ties around the Neo2 and the ethernet cable.
   
   
5. Next, you’ll need to remove the zip-tie and post bundling the OptConnect power cable. You will reuse the power cable with the MAX Aware.
   
   
6. Cut the zip-tie.
   
   
7. Using a pair of pliers, grab the post and pull it out of the bracket.
   
   
8. Remove the third post down on the silver bracket holding the camera cables. Do not cut the zip-tie around the camera cable, keep that bundled together. This creates additional space for the Max Aware.
   
   
9. Place Max Aware on bracket with ethernet ports facing down.
   
   
10. Attach the antenna, power cable, and the two ethernet cables that came from the Neo2 into the Max Aware. Use the LAN ports for the ethernet going to the Stockwell.
    
    
11. Plug the 25ft. Ethernet cable that will go into your local network into the WAN port on the Max Aware.
    
    
12. Bundle the camera cables where the Neo2 used to be, and re-zip the excess power cable into a bundle.
    
    
13. Re-attach the back cover bracket by doing the bottom screws first then top screws.
