RETROFIT KIT FOR RS485 / USB C

Retrofits or retrofitting is not unusual with foodservice equipment. A retrofit is the addition of new technology or features to older systems. Retrofits include backward compatibility so that the newer component will work in existing equipment. Retrofits allow for menu additions, software updates, and component improvements without the replacement or addition of functional equipment.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply between computers and equipment or peripheral devices.  In commercial foodservice equipment, a USB port may allow for service diagnostics or automated programming updates (e.g. with the introduction of new menu items with distinct cook times and temperatures).
