QR codes
In ePocket, you can work with three types of QR codes: Rittal type plate QR codes, component QR codes and documentation QR codes. Each QR code type has a different meaning for working with ePocket.
Type plate QR codes
You need a type plate QR code if you want to initially add a documentation. The enclosure is registered in ePocket by means of the type plate QR code; see Add documentation.
If you have added a documentation, you can link further enclosures with this documentation. You also require a type plate QR code for this; see Link enclosure to documentation.
Note
If you scan a type plate QR code that has already been registered with the scan function in ePocket, you will be redirected to the corresponding documentation.
If you scan a type plate QR code with the camera app of a mobile device and you are not signed in to ePocket, you are redirected to the Rittal product page of the enclosure.
Component QR codes
In addition to the enclosure, you can also scan the individual components of an enclosure in ePocket. The components are then stored in a list below the respective enclosure.

- Open the details of the documentation.

A dialog opens. All linked QR codes of the components are displayed.
Documentation QR codes
When a new documentation is created in ePocket, a documentation QR code is generated automatically. This QR code is located in the "Details" section of the respective documentation and can be downloaded there. Users who scan this QR code with the camera app of a mobile device or the scan function of ePocket are forwarded directly to the documentation and the corresponding organization.
The QR code is provided in ePocket as a sticker. This sticker can be adapted to a certain extent. You can select up to two machine information items from a list that are to be added to the sticker – provided that this information is stored in the "General machine information" area.
