With integrated LED light ring and buzzer functionality, FactorySense BLE beacons are an excellent choice for most location tracking and environmental sensing applications. Electrical & Environmental Specifications Electrical Specifications Device Type Bluetooth® Low Energy Beacon, Battery Powered Wireless Interface Protocol Bluetooth® 4.2 Certifications (Declaration of Conformity) USA (FCC), Europe (CE) Operational Frequency 2.4GHz System-on-Chip Nordic nRF 52832 Sensors Various, see Models section below Sensitivity -96dBm sensitivity (Bluetooth® Low Energy) Read Range >100 meter range in open space Battery Type User-replaceable CR2450 Environmental Resistance Storage Temperature -0oC to +40oC Operating Temperature -20oC to +60oC Water Resistance IP67 Vibration Resistance 10g at vibration frequency 2kHz ESD Immunity IEC 61000-4-2 Rating: ±4kV contact discharge, ±8kV air discharge Chemical Resistance Generally good resistance with moderate concentrations of acids, alcohols, alkalis, detergents, and cleaners. Acetone should be avoided. Attachment Mechanisms Rivet, Screw, Tie Wrap, Epoxy, and others Important Note: The values provided above were measured under ideal laboratory conditions. Actual resistance to environmental factors may vary depending on several relevant conditions. We recommend requesting a sample to validate performance in your specific environment before making a purchase. Please note that battery life is optimized for long-term use but can be significantly influenced by operating mode settings and ambient temperature. Applications Location Tracking, Activity Monitoring, Security, Sensor Networks, Building Automation, Industrial Automation, Access Control Headquarters 2035 Central Circle Suite 100 McKinney, Texas 75069 Connect www.getfactorysense.com info@factorysense.io linkedin.com/company/factorysense Page 3 of 8 Mechanical Specifications and Dimensions USER MANUAL Length: Width: Thickness: Weight: 73 mm (±2.87") 50 mm (±1.97") 20 mm (±0.79") 39 grams (approx.) LED Status Ring The FactorySense BLE beacon contains an integral LED status ring, which is used during asset locating processes, and to indicate various status conditions. Status Ring Color Green, after 5s button press Red, after 5s button press Yellow rapid flashing (approximately every one second) Yellow slow flashing (approximately every eight seconds) Description The device has been woken up and will begin sending advertising packets The device has been put into sleep mode and will not send advertising packets until it has been woken up again The device is in "find me" mode. The flashing will continue until either one minute has passed since "find me" mode was triggered or the integrated button is pressed, whichever is sooner. The battery is low (<10%) and needs immediate replacement. Headquarters 2035 Central Circle Suite 100 McKinney, Texas 75069 Connect www.getfactorysense.com info@factorysense.io linkedin.com/company/factorysense Page 4 of 8 USER MANUAL Integrated Buzzer The FactorySense BLE beacon also contains an integral audio buzzer. When the device is placed into "find me" mode, the buzzer will emit periodic beeps for one minute or until the integrated button is pressed, whichever is sooner. Device Wake-Up and Sleep Mode When arriving from the factory, the FactorySense RFID beacon will be in sleep mode to preserve battery life. It is recommended that the device remain in sleep mode until it is needed. To wake the device up, simply press the button on the top of the device. The LED ring will momentarily illuminate green, indicating that the device has been woken up and is transmitting advertising packets. To place the device back into sleep mode, simply press and hold the button for five seconds. The LED ring will momentarily illuminate red to indicate that the device has been placed back into sleep mode. Antenna and Radiation Pattern The antenna is positioned toward the top of the beacon, very near its face (the side with the button).
