Confidex Viking™ beacon radiation efficiency Picture below shows Confidex Viking™ beacon radiation patterns on three different attachment materials. Radiation patterns, pictured below, conform to how the PCB is placed inside beacon, approximately in a 45° angle. Radiation efficiency changes when attaching beacon to certain materials. Listed below are directional radiation measurements done for Confidex Viking™ beacon taken in two orientations, from azimuth 0° angle and in 90° elevation.

Tip: Deciding beacon main board orientation Confidex Viking Classic™ beacon orientation can be seen from the dot that is left on the top cover. The dot is an ejector pin mark from injection molding and can be felt with a finger. This side is the bottom of the beacon: antenna on the main board is in 45° clockwise orientation. Beacon labels should be placed in the right orientation depending on this, but otherwise main board orientation is not specified in production.

Example of installation planning in beacon application: 1. Place beacons first on pathways and rooms that are most used 2. Place beacons next to stairs, escalators, and elevators in every floor 3. If you are planning to use positioning outside, place beacons next to exits and the perimeter of building 4. Lastly, place beacons everywhere else evenly to ensure good coverage. 4.

• If the receiver is vertically placed, for example installed on the wall, the best orientation of the tag is also vertically placed, directly facing the receiver antenna. • If the tag cannot be placed vertically, but only horizontally: the best orientation of the tag is in 45° clockwise rotation. 6/15 Confidex 2021 www.confidex.

7 Confidex Runestone™ CONFIDEX RUNESTONETM MOBILE APP beacon field configure app General information Confidex RunestoneTM mobile app is a specific application used to operate the Confidex VikingTM beacons with Confidex standard firmware. By using the Confidex RunestoneTM App, the user can turn the Confidex Viking™ beacons on/off, read beacon parameters and configure the parameters over the phone NFC interface.
PAGE 10
SETTING UP CONFIDEX RUNESTONETM APP OPERATING CONFIDEX RUNESTONETM APP Description Confidex RunestoneTM app consist of two main window, Beacon Status and Beacon Configuration, which shows the beacon configuration data and operation buttons which can be performed when a beacon is scanned with the NFC of the mobile phone. Additional functions for managing identity files, device scanner and details can be found from the drop-down menu in the top right corner. Importing identity file (.
PAGE 11
After successfully scanning of a Confidex VikingTM beacon, the Beacon Status window General tab shows the information listed in the table below. Swipe screen horizontally to access information from configured slots under other tabs. Information will stay on the screen after moving the beacon away from the NFC antenna, another beacon is scanned, or the app is restarted.
PAGE 12
OTHER TOOLS AND FEATURES Device scanner tool DEVICES SCANNER view reports and shows status log of all Confidex VikingTM beacons that have been scanned with the Confidex RunestoneTM app. MAC address, UID namespace, UID instance, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and whether the mobile phone can hear the beacon (indicated by red or green color) are displayed for each beacon. Individual device details are viewed when pressing a beacon. Device list can be cleared by pressing the “CLEAR ALL” button.
