To install a beacon, first, you'll need to activate the beacon then chose it's installation location.

Step 1: Activate the Beacon

Open the beacon by rotating the lid counter-clockwise.

  • Press the “push button” and hold for 3 seconds.

  • When the device is powered on you will see a blue light for 5 seconds

  • Then close the beacon by rotating the lid clockwise

Step 2: Install the Beacon

Next, you'll pick an ideal location to install the beacon. The beacon signal covers approximately 50 sqft. When choosing a location, you'll want to ensure the beacon has no physical objects near it interrupting its signal.

  • Recommended vertical height of beacon: 6.5 feet

  • Minimum distance between beacons: 65 feet

  • Place the beacon far from wireless routers or similar Bluetooth devices. This can interrupt the BLE signal of the beacon

Step 3: Assign the Beacon to an Indoor Zone

If you have not created your Floors or Zones, please review Getting Started with Location Tracking before moving on to this step.

Once you've created your zones, you'll want to assign Beacons to your indoor zones. To do this, head to the Beacons page in the Installation and Setup section. There, you can quickly and easily select which zone the Beacon is installed in using the dropdown in the zones column.
