The BEEKs™ Install Guide covers the basics of the BLE beacon

setup and provisioning of equipment with Bluzone Cloud

account and project. This install guide is intended for install

technicians.

BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons are among

the most advanced beacons in the industry. Being fully Apple

iBeacon and Google Eddystone compatible, BEEKs beacons

may be used for any standard beacon application that

provides location based promotional or way-ﬁnding services

to smartphone users. BEEKs beacons are available in multiple

form factors and sensor conﬁgurations.

When combined with HID Global’s end-to- end IoT ecosystem,

that includes BluFi™ BLE to WiFi gateways and the Bluzone™

cloud services, BEEKs can be centrally managed remotely

through the cloud to transfer new messages, ﬁrmware

updates and battery status checks. Their unique design allows

BEEKs to broadcast reliably even in densely populated WiFi

environments.

The BLE radio enables the Beacon to transmit condition

monitoring, proximity messaging, way ﬁnding and asset

location. Bluzone allows you to control the transmitting

capabilities of the Beacon. The Beacon provides the ability to

transmit in iBeacon, Eddystone or sBeacon format.

The BEEKs Beacons link to ID64 with a QR code printed/

labeled on the outer casing.

 Maximum of 15 – 20 beacons per BluFi for best results

 Maximum 20 – 30 meters from beacon to BluFi for best results

(distance will decrease for increased interference/ blockages)

 Recommended epoxy glue for mounting: Loctite AA 330,

Devcon 5-minute (for BEEKS001-CM)

 Network troubleshooting

 2.4 GHz WiFi only

 HTTPS port 443 must be open

 DHCP required

 1 Mbps upload speed required

 Captive WiFi portals not compatible

 Compatible certiﬁcate formats: .pem, .der

 BluFi MAC address whitelisting may be required on some networks

 Set up Bluzone account

 Download Bluzone mobile app

Beacons should be mounted to a clean, ﬂat, rigid surface of the

asset to be monitored.

For Condition Monitoring Applications with BEEKS001-CM, the

beacon should be oriented such that its three axes are parallel to

the three axes of the asset, close to the source of vibration.
