Location/Proximity
o When an S14BL tag is detected by a System Loco ‘LocoTrack’ or a Roambee ‘Bee’
device, the location of the tracking device can be used to indicate the location of the
S14BL (the S14BL signal can only be detected with a range of 80m).
Device Operation
The S14BL device will already be active when it is received. There is no On/Off button to control the
functionality. It will be active from the moment it is received and will continue to operate until the
battery runs out.
Once the battery has run out, and the device is no longer active, it must be disposed of or recycled
appropriately. Please contact your local authority for disposal or recycling information.
Device Reporting
To confirm that a device is operational you can confirm that it is reporting either to the server, or to a
mobile app.
The device will report its status information every 12 seconds. The status report will contain the
battery voltage and temperature. If a tag reader is present the report will be forwarded onto the
LocoAware server where it can be viewed by searching for the device ID in the LocoAware website, as
shown below. The device information and history list can be used to confirm the unit is reporting.
