Product introduction

2.1 Function
BC02 is a card-type low-power locator product independently developed by our company based on LoRaWAN technology. BLE technology is used indoors and GNSS is used
outdoors for positioning and long-distance transmission via standard LoRaWAN. The product has the following functions:

  • Indoor location is based on BLE, cooperates with our company localization algorithm, provides a precision of 1 ~ 5 meters, and the probability of fewer than three meters is 70%.
  • Outdoor location is based on GPS, with a precision of 10 meters, the probability of less than 10 meters is 80%.
  • Support Quuppa system, based on the BLE AOA high precision positioning, precision is less than 1 m.
  • 800 ma rechargeable lithium battery, supports overcharge and high-temperature protection, standby time can be up to 6 months.
  • Bluetooth OTA upgrade supports batch updates.
  • Support iBeacon protocol and third-party custom-defined BLE formats, support for up to five kinds of BLE custom formats.
  • Beacon white list mechanism, scan only specific UUID beacon, support for up to five different UUID.
  • Intelligent motion sensor enters a sleep state when stationary, and power consumption is less than 17uA.
  • During specified times, such as night, the device can enter deep sleep, and power consumption is less than 5uA.
  • Intelligent scanning to save power, don’t start BLE scanning if move steps under the threshold.
  • Precise step counting, the error is less than 5%.
  • Security Social distance monitoring, the device will sound or vibrate if people are too close, and the distance threshold is adjustable;
  • Support SOS alarm, entering hazardous area alarm;
  • Cooperate with our BLE gateway, badges can work in places without Lora signals, such as the cabin, and shielding room.
  • Badge can also detect asset beacons to implement localization and asset management dual mode.
  •  Badge can be set as a BLE gateway, to detect and report at most 50 BLE beacons in one single transmission.

Operate guide

3.1 Charge
The charging port is a standard MicroUSB, which is used to charge regular Android phones. When charging, the indicator is blinking red. After charging, the indicator turns to be steady green. After removing the charging head, the green indicator is off. The locator has a built-in battery management chip that automatically terminates charging when the battery is fully charged. A full battery takes about three hours.
3.2 Power on
The badge can be turned on by pressing the power button. To power on the badge, need to press the button till the green LED is on and red LED blinks, and the buzzer beeps. The badge can’t be turned off by pressing the button for security reasons.
3.3 Power off
After startup, the worker card cannot be shut down by pressing the button, but can only be shut down remotely by command. When receiving the shutdown command, the buzzer will ring three times, and the red light will be on for three seconds and then off.
3.4 SOS
Press the button three times in three seconds can trigger an SOS alarm. If the alarm is generated successfully, the buzzer beep one time and the red LED blinks. The server
needs to send an acknowledgment message after receiving the alarm, then the red LED turns off and the green LED blinks, it tells the caller that the alarm has been received. After that, the platform administrator needs to dismiss SOS by downlink command; otherwise, the
green LED keeps flashing. The caller can also restart the device to deactivate the alarm.
3.5 Reboot
under startup state, long press the button above three seconds, the LED light will blink three times, and the buzzer will beep, then the device restart.
3.6 Status Check
Short press the button to check whether the tracker is working, if the green LED blinks, it indicates the tracker is working and the left power of the battery is above 70%. If both the green LED and red LED blink, the power is above 40%. If only red LED blinks, the power is below 40%, needs to be charged ASAP.

Configuration

The working parameters of the device can be configured online through the Lora network or through the Bluetooth connection established through the APP. In addition, if the device number, Key, frequency point, and working mode of the device are changed, they can only be changed through the APP. For details, please visit the following links:

Unpacking and checking

  1. Check whether the number, instruction manual, certificate, packing list
    and accessories of the packing case are complete.

  2. The appearance of the product should be intact and marked clearly.

Maintenance guide

  1. The light does not respond when the device button is pressed?
    In this case, the device may be powered off or hibernated in a low-power state. You can view the latest power of the device through the platform.

  2. How to extend the working time of the equipment
    The sleep time of the device can be set through the platform, which does not consume power when it is not working。

  3. Do I need to restart the device after it is shut down and charged at low power?
    Don’t need it. The shutdown of the device due to low power is actually deep hibernation, and the device itself has a certain amount of power, which can automatically resume work after charging.

  4. The device is always in a static state, how to obtain its position?
    You can obtain the current location by issuing the request location command from platform.
