4. Caution of Using Waterproof Outdoor Beacons
- Being close to a metal object will interfere with the signal, causing the signal to be weakened.
- Note the distance between DSBC-150 and the receiver to guarantee the accuracy of receiving.
- Keep away from corrosive objects.
5 Reference Usage of Waterproof Outdoor Beacons
5.1 With Gateway
- Waterproof beacons broadcast the data.
- Bluetooth beacon gateway gets the data from the and sends the information to Cloud via Wi-Fi or LTE once per second.
5.2 With Mobile Phones
- The waterproof beacon constantly sends a broadcast packet nearby at a certain frequency.
- A BLE-enabled mobile phone can receive the beacon information and parse the data through the APP
6. Development of Waterproof Outdoor Beacons
6.1 When use with Android and iOS phones
By integrating related Android or iOS SDK in the waterproof beacons, the mobile phone can read and parse beacon data and set parameters through APP.
| iBeacon | Eddystone | Beacon sensor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broadcast Packets Read | ●UUID ●MAC address ●Major ●Minor ●Manufacture ID ●Advertise Interval | ●MAC address ●Advertise Interval ●Tag ●Transmit Power ●Advertise Interval ●User service data | ●MAC address ● Sensor data ●Transmit Power ●Advertise Interval |
| Set Parameter | ●MAC address ●UUID ●Major ●Minor ●Manufacture ID ●Device Name ● Transmit Power ● Advertise Interval ●Password ●RSSI ●Value Calibration | ●MAC ●Device Name ●User service data ●Transmit Power ●Advertise Interval ●Password ●Tag | ●MAC ●Device Name ●Transmit Power ●Advertise Interval ●Password ●Set sensor parameter：temperature, humidity air pressure, motion |
6.2 When use with gateways
The Bluetooth gateway can read and parse the broadcast packet data of the waterproof beacon, and set the parameters of the beacon in the connection state. The setting content is the same as the above Android/IOS SDK.
7. Installation of Waterproof Outdoor Beacons
7.1 3M adhesive stickers
Step1：Select the adhesive tape to stick to the back of the device, and tear off the adhesive tape on the back of the beacon sensor
Step2：Just stick the beacon sensor to the surface of the object;
