blueup Brick Wire Bluetooth BLE Module Device User Manual

Introduction

• BlueUp Brick Wire (henceforth identified as “product”, “device”, or “beacon”) is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon optimized for proximity, identification, and localization applications.
• BlueUp Brick is available with multiple firmware options, including standard BLE beacon technologies (with support for iBeacon™ and Eddystone™) and Wirepas Mesh technology (configured as an anchor node).
• Housed in an IP67-rated plastic enclosure, the device integrates an accelerometer for motion detection.
• Power supply is provided via an internal 2-port connector accessible through an integrated cable-gland, supporting a voltage range of 3 to 30 Vdc.

Warning: Before using BlueUp Brick Wire, verify that it is undamaged and carefully read the instructions in this user manual, paying specific attention to the “Safety” section.

BlueUp S.r.l. disclaims all liability if the devices are operated in environments or modes incompatible with keeping the product intact, safe, and functional.

Procedures

Beacon Power Supply
Before using the beacon, connect power to the device via the internal terminal connector. The supply VDC voltage must be continuous, between 3 Vdc and 30 Vdc. Pass the cable through the cable-gland on the lower wall of the enclosure, then connect the cable to the internal 2-port connector.Important: Do not reverse the polarity of the power supply. Reversing the polarity can cause irreversible damage to the device.
Securely close the Brick enclosure using the four provided screws.

Beacon Installation
Position and install the beacon onto your targeted mounting surface. For secure mounting, we recommend using silicone glue, industrial double-sided tape, or utilizing the two integrated screw-holes on the lateral flanges (ver. WF).

• Once powered, the beacon immediately becomes active and operates according to its preloaded technology profile.
• For detailed technical specifications, please consult the BlueUp Docs portal at docs.blueupbeacons.com or contact technical support at support@blueupbeacons.com.

BLE Standard Configuration
To customize or modify the device configuration, download and use the free BlueBeacon Manager mobile application, available for iOS and Android. 

• The beacon is a wireless broadcasting device.
• The beacon must only be utilized for its designed purpose. Any alternate use is deemed improper and potentially hazardous.
• Operating Conditions: Temperature range of -40 to +75°C; relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.
• Ensure the unit is completely undamaged before commissioning.

DANGER: DO NOT operate the beacon in potentially explosive atmospheres. The presence of flammable gases, liquids, or dust poses an extreme safety hazard.

BlueUp S.r.l. disclaims all liability for damages resulting from improper operating conditions, misuse of the device, or failure to adhere to the safety instructions outlined above.

Waste Disposal

Compliance with Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EC (Restriction of Hazardous Substances [RoHS] in electrical and electronic equipment and waste electronics management):

The crossed-out wheeled bin icon displayed on the product, manual, or packaging indicates that the device must be collected separately from standard municipal waste at the end of its operational lifecycle. The user must deliver the decommissioned device to an authorized recycling center specializing in electrical and electronic waste, or return it to the retailer on a one-for-one basis when purchasing an equivalent new product.

Proper segregated recycling, treatment, and environmentally safe disposal prevent negative ecological and health impacts while promoting the reuse of resources. Unauthorized or illegal disposal of the product by the end-user results in administrative penalties in accordance with local regulations.

For detailed information concerning available collection infrastructure, contact your municipal authorities.

Compliance with Directive 2006/66/EC (Batteries and accumulators):

The crossed-out bin symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with municipal waste, as they contain substances potentially harmful to health and the environment. Remove the integrated battery safely and dispose of it at dedicated hazardous battery collection depots.
