This beacon is designed for applications such as indoor positioning, asset tracking, and information push, providing efficient wireless communication support for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Manufacturer: Shenzhen Holyiot Technology Co.,LTD.
2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Preparatory Work
- Module Model Confirmation: Confirm that the beacon tag model matches your application equipment.
- Required Tools: Prepare a suitable power supply, connection cables, and any supporting development tools as required by your application.
2.2 Hardware Connection
- Power Installation:
- Open the beacon housing.
- Insert a CR2032 battery into the battery compartment, ensuring correct positive and negative polarity.
- If connecting directly to a power source, ensure the device is powered off. Connect the VCC and GND pins of the module to the corresponding power interface of your device. Ensure positive and negative poles are correct.
- Communication Pins: If required for communication, connect TX and RX pins. Refer to the product pin diagram for specific pin definitions.
2.3 Installation and Fixation
Choose an appropriate installation location based on your application scenario (e.g., walls, ceilings, or asset surfaces). Securely fix the beacon using double-sided tape or other suitable methods to ensure a firm installation without any obstructions that might affect signal transmission.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Parameter Configuration
Configure the beacon's parameters such as Bluetooth name, communication baud rate, broadcast interval, connection password, UUID, Major/Minor values using the accompanying development tools or the "Holyiot-beacon" APP. For detailed configuration procedures, refer to the APP's operation guide.
Note: The beacon is a semi-finished product. The factory-provided program is for hardware testing only and does not include actual application functions. Users must write and burn their own firmware for specific application scenarios.
3.2 Function Test
After power-on, the module will enter its normal working state and begin broadcasting. Use a Bluetooth-enabled device to search for the beacon signal via a serial port command or the "Holyiot-beacon" APP. Establish a connection and perform data transmission tests to confirm normal functionality, signal strength, and broadcasting stability.

7. Safety and Usage Guidelines
7.1 Usage Restrictions
- Communication Distance: The actual communication distance may vary due to environmental factors such as obstructions, electromagnetic interference, environmental humidity, and the performance of supporting equipment. Plan installation carefully to ensure communication quality.
- Working Environment: The product requires a clean, dry environment free from strong interference. Refer to the product specification sheet for specific applicable temperature and humidity ranges.
- Power Supply: Only use power supplies or batteries that meet the product specifications (2.2 - 3.6V). Using inferior or reverse power supply can damage the product and pose safety risks.
- Software Compatibility: The Bluetooth Low Energy module requires compatibility with devices or systems that support BLE 4.0 or above. Confirm compatibility before use.
7.2 Warning Information
⚠ Warning
- Voltage Range: Operate only within the specified working voltage range. Exceeding this range can cause damage, short circuits, or fire.
- Power Off During Operations: Always ensure the power is off during installation, disassembly, and wiring to prevent electric shock or product failure.
- Environmental Conditions: Do not use this product in extreme temperatures, high humidity, dusty, or corrosive gas environments unless it is specifically rated (e.g., IP67) for such conditions. This can affect performance, shorten service life, and create safety hazards.
- Handle with Care: This is a precision electronic component. Avoid violent impact, dropping, or unauthorized disassembly, as this can damage the internal circuit structure and cause product failure.
