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).
