Tag Operation
The device is a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon designed for tracking objects that move. The
device is equipped with an accelerometer, a push button, an LED light (to indicate device
status) and on some products offers over the air configurability.
The device has the following built-in sensors:
• Accelerometer
• Temperature
1.1 Device States:
• Storage State
• Button pressed State
• Moved State
• Idle State
Storage State
The device is shipped in storage state
In this state device is asleep, the BLE radio is turned off to conserve battery.
1.2 Wake up procedure
Push button for more than 3 seconds to wake the device up. The device will move from
storage to Button pressed State and the LED will blink or blink rapidly 3 times to confirm
state change.
The device will start beaconing, with Omni-ID custom beacon, as a non-connectable beacon
for the duration the button is pressed at 100 msec beacon rate. Once the button is released,
it will advertise as a connectable beacon for a duration of 60 seconds. This allows a 60
second time window to change the configuration of the device. Unless preconfigured as per
Appendix A….
1.3 Power on self-test mode
If the unit is inactive, a short button press (less than 3 sec) causes the device to power up for
3 seconds and reverts to storage state. The LED will blink once to confirm state change.
During the 3 seconds, the device will beacon Omni-ID custom beacon every 100ms as a
non-connectable beacon.
On power cycle/battery replacement, the device will start beaconing without going into
storage state (by default).
Button pressed State
By default, when the button is pressed, the device advertises the Omni-ID custom beacon
along with Button pressed state flag at 100ms beacon rate as a connectable advertisement
for 30sec, unless specified and preconfigured otherwise At the point of order.
Beacon type, beacon rate and state time are configurable.
