ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Operating temperature
-20°C to +60°C / -4°F to +140°F
EN 60068-2-14: 2009, Test N: Change of temperature
Water resistance
Good, tested 5 hours in 1m deep water (IP68)
Vibration resistance

EN 60068-2-27: 2009, Test Ea: Shock, 20G
ESD immunity
±8 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (air discharge)
±4 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (contact discharge)
**Chemical resistance *****
No physical or performance changes in:
- 168h Motor oil exposure
- 48h Salt water (salinity 10%) exposure
- 48h Sulfuric acid (10%, pH 2) exposure
- 48h NaOH (10%, pH 13) exposure
Generally good resistance with moderate concentrations of acids, alcohols, alkalis, detergents, and cleaners. Acetone should be avoided.
Expected lifetime****
3-4 years with typical operating parameters
*Values are the best recommendations; resistance against environmental
conditions depends on the combination of all influencing factors, exposure
duration and chemical concentrations. Thus, product’s final suitability for
certain environmental conditions is recommended to be tested. Contact Confidex
for more specific information.
** Beacon lifetime is optimized for long term use, and is highly affected by
operating mode parameters, accelerometer usage and ambient temperature.
Configured TX power level and advertisement interval have influence on
lifetime.
OPERATING MODES
Confidex Viking™ beacon utilizes Eddystone™ open standard frame format and/or
iBeacon protocol ensuring straightforward implementation on a wide range of
Bluetooth® Low Energy devices.
Confidex Viking™ Classic comes with standard parameters by default. It can be
factory configured with customer specific parameters to support any 3 rd party
system. Confidex™ Viking can also be personalized with a custom label to ease
the tag identification in the field.
Following Eddystone™ frame types are supported:
- Eddystone™-UID frame broadcasts 16-byte Beacon ID composed of a 10-byte namespace and a 6-byte instance.
- Eddystone™-URL frame broadcasts a URL using a compressed encoding format.
- Eddystone™-TLM frame broadcasts telemetry information, like battery voltage and temperature.
- Eddystone™-EID frame broadcasts an encrypted ephemeral identifier that changes periodically. Eddystone™-EID frame operating mode requires service for resolving the ephemeral ID. Please contact Confidex for more information.
- iBeacon advertise 16 bytes UUID, 2 bytes Major, and 2 bytes Minor.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Confidex Viking TM can be attached with several fixing methods:
- Mechanical fixing – Screw Mechanical fixing is recommended to be used in every application that includes risk for high mechanical stress or low temperature during tag fixing. Screw size M5 is to be used for fixing.
- Mechanical fixing – Cable tie Plastic or metallic cable ties can also be used for fixing Confidex Viking TM . Maximum width of cable tie is 4 mm.
- High performance acrylic adhesive When mounting the tag with adhesive, clean and dry the surface for obtaining the maximum bond strength. Ideal application temperature is from +21°C to +38°C (+70°F to +100°F), bond strength can be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heating from +38°C to +54°C (+100°F to +130°F). Installation at temperatures below +10°C (+50°F) is not recommended.
