1.Overview

1.1. Product Introduction

BA3000-t High Precision Indoor Bluetooth Location Anchor uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology with advanced AOA/AOD algorithm and standard, which can achieve functions such as precise locating, trace uploading and status collection of personnel and objects indoor, while having high accuracy, high concurrency, low power consumption, high compatibility and easy quick deployment, it is an effective solution for the demands arising from Internet of Things, for precise spatial and status perception as well as intelligent control and management.

1.2. Typical Applications

The typical application scenarios and accuracies of this product are as follows:

2. Panel and Port

2.1. Anchor Front Panel

The diagram and meanings of the product front panel are as follows.

2.2. Anchor Back Panel

The back panel of the Bluetooth AOA Location Anchor is used for installation and unmounting, as shown in below figure.

3. Installation and Power Supply

3.1. Installation

This product is generally mounted on ceiling, but can also be suspended or installed otherwise depending on the specific structure of the building ceiling. Before installation, make sure that the connecting structure can withstand a downward pull of at least 50 Newton (N). This product should be installed at a maximum height of 20 meters and can be installed in method illustrated below:

Fix the location anchor mount with wall plug at specific positions (according to the technician’s requirements), and then slide the anchor in place along the guideway on the mount. The location anchor collects and measures incoming tag signals, so the installation location and the surrounding should meet certain standards. Note that:

There should be no electromagnetic shielding/jamming devices (e.g. mobile phone jammer, WiFi jammer) in the vicinity of the installation location.
Avoid objects that can easily cause signal reflection, such as large size metal, large screen.
The location anchor should have large visual coverage without obstruction. Never install the location anchor above ceiling tiles (metal materiel like aluminum tile, or non-metallic material such as gypsum board and glass panel), low-voltage cable trays, fire ducts, air conditioning ducts, indoor green plants or other obstructions.
The location anchor should be installed in the correct direction with the front panel facing downwards instead of upright or tilted.

3.2. Power Supply

This product adopts IEEE 802.3af standard version of POE power supply, uses Category 5e (CAT 5e) network cable. Simply connect to a standard POE Switch or a location anchor to achieve power supply to the location anchor. When connected, the power indicator of the location anchor is green permanently. Note that:

The POE power supply should not be more than 100 meters away, and should preferably be controlled within 80 meters.
Easy-to-use circuit breakers shall be incorporated into the wiring system

4. Network Connection

4.1. Wired Network

There are mainly two types of wiring methods between the location anchor and the server, as shown in Figure 4.1.1 and 4.1.2:

4.2. Network Configuration

The location anchor uses fixed IP address to access the network, and does not support DHCP function. The default factory IP address of the anchor is “192.168.1.X” at port “48200”.

The afore “X” in the IP address changes with the product, which can be obtained from the information label on the product packaging.

Modify the IP address of your computer before changing the network settings of the location anchor so that it is in the same network segment as the anchor. It is recommended that the computer’s network be configured as:
IP address: 192.168.1.11
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

Specific parameters of the location anchor can be configured via the “Anchor Configuration” module in the “Server Software”. Please refer to the related software manual for details.

5. Data Collection

The Bluetooth anchor is mainly used to receive and collect the locating and data information sent by the Bluetooth tag. Its effective collection area is related to the on-site deployment, and the number of tags that can be collected is related to the frequency of tag data transmission.
When the tag leaves the effective collection area, the locating accuracy will be reduced or cannot be located, and the data information cannot be transmitted. When the tag returns to the effective collection area, the locating and data information transmission can be resumed.

6. Important Safety Information for BlueIOT Anchor
