Ener
gy efficient and maintenance free Bluetooth® LE
beacon for industrial asset tracking applications and
people flow management. Built-in solar panel and power
management IC (PMIC) absorbs energy from the
surrounding light sources enabling battery free operation
and extremely long lifetime. Omnidirectional antenna is
designed especially for accurate positioning in both indoor
and outdoor applications.

EN 60068-2-14: 2009, Test N: Change of temperature
Vibration resistance
EN 60068-2-6: 2008, Test Fc: Vibration, 10G
EN 60068-2-27: 2009, Test Ea: Shock, 20G
ESD immunity
±8 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (air discharge)
±4 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (contact discharge)
Chemical resistance
No physical or performance changes in:
- 168h Motor oil exposure
- 48h Salt water (salinity 10%) exposure
- 48h Sulfuric acid (10%, pH 2) exposure
- 48h NaOH (10%, pH 13) exposure
Generally good resistance with moderate concentrations
of acids, alcohols, alkalis, detergents, and cleaners.
Acetone should be avoided.
Expected lifetime***
>10 years in typical indoor environment
*** Beacon lifetime is not limited by the battery capacity due to power
harvesting technology but is mainly limited by the typical component
aging and environmental factors. Confidex offers 12 months warranty as
standard for the product and its components.
