1 Product Description
1.1 Overview
This document provides a user manual for the BLE Asset Tracker (formerly known as the LoRa IoT BLE Tracker) developed by TEKTELIC Communications Inc. Henceforth in this document it will be referred to as the BLE Tracker, or simply, the Tracker.
The Tracker is a BLE-capable LoRaWAN IoT sensor that is powered by a single AA-cell LTC battery and packed into a compact IPX0 enclosure. The Tracker is intended for scanning and reporting neighboring BLE peripherals (devices) up to a range of approximately 100 m (LoS). The Tracker can be utilized for a wide variety of asset-locating applications; for example, as a proximity sensor to provide location information in indoor or outdoor environments. The Tracker is also equipped with an accelerometer that detects movement to trigger a report. The accelerometer output vector can also be reported periodically if knowledge of the Tracker orientation is of interest. Additional sensing functions on the Tracker include on-board temperature and battery voltage. The battery lifetime of the Tracker has been estimated to be up to 5 years or more, depending on usage. Table 1-1 presents the available Tracker models.

1.2.1 Bluetooth Low-Energy Scanner
The Tracker is equipped with a BLE module that is embedded in the MCU. It
serves as a BLE central device that periodically searches to discover nearby
BLE peripherals. It can be used as a standalone proximity sensor that can also
help at positioning.
The BLE scan can be disabled entirely or enabled at any time. Figure 1-3 shows
the BLE scan scheme when the BLE scan is enabled. As shown in the figure, BLE
scans are performed periodically. Each scan duration is divided into scan
intervals. The BLE scan is performed only in the scan window portion of the
scan interval. The ratio of the scan window to the scan interval shows the
scan duty cycle. In the case of the scan window equalling the scan interval,
the scan duty cycle is 100%. This represents a continuous scan over each scan
duration. This will increase the likelihood of finding more beacons, but at
the expense of consuming more power. The scan period, duration, interval, and
window are all configurable (see the TRM document for configuration details
[1]).
Figure 1-3: The BLE Scan Schematic Procedure.
At the end of each scan duration, up to n discovered BLE devices with the
strongest RSSIs are reported over LoRaWAN. The value n is user configurable
(see TRM) [1]. If no devices are found, an empty list is uplinked. Over each
scan duration, a BLE device beacon may be observed (discovered) more than
once, in which case the RSSI associated with the BLE device at the end of the
scan duration is the average value over all observed RSSIs.
The Tracker supports BLE of Bluetooth 5.0. The BLE scan is performed in the
passive mode only, i.e. the Tracker listens to surrounding beacons, but does
not transmit to them to request additional information.
NOTE: The BLE scan is exclusive to LoRa radio transmission; i.e. they do not
overlap. If any reporting becomes due at the same time of a BLE scan, the
reporting will be done after the BLE scan is complete.

1.2.2 Accelerometer Transducer
Acceleration sensing is provided by an integrated 3-axis accelerometer which
can be disabled to conserve battery life. The main role of the accelerometer
in the Tracker is to detect motion that can indicate a change of the Tracker’s
status from stillness to mobility, or vice versa. In this role, the
accelerometer generates an acceleration alarm when a motion event is detected
that may or may not be reported OTA (user-configurable).
An acceleration event report is based on exceeding a defined acceleration
alarm threshold count in a defined alarm threshold period. These thresholds
can be customized such that there will not be multiple reports for a single
event, depending on the definition of an event in a particular use case. An
alarm event can only be registered after a configurable grace period elapses
since the last registered alarm event. Carefully setting the grace period is
important and prevents from repeatedly registering an accelerometer event.
The accelerometer can also be polled periodically for its output acceleration
vector for applications in which the Tracker orientation is of interest.
1.2.3 Temperature Transducer
The Tracker includes an on-board thermometer that functions with the
specifications listed in Table 1-2 and supports threshold-based transmission.
The temperature is measured from the built-in MCU transducer. When the
temperature thresholds are enabled, the Tracker reports the temperature when
it leaves the configured threshold window, and once again when the temperature
re-enters the threshold window. The Threshold mode is compatible with periodic
reporting of the temperature.

2.4 Commissioning and Activation
The Tracker is shipped in a secured enclosure with the battery preinstalled
but disengaged by a pull tab.
The Tracker enclosure does not need to be opened for activation. Assuming that
the Tracker has been commissioned on the NS, pull out the battery tab to
engage the battery. The Tracker will automatically begin the join process. To
turn off the device the battery must be removed. To reset the device, the
external reset button can be pushed; see Section 3.4 for a description of the
reset function.
Refer to Section 3.3 for the expected LED behaviour of the Tracker during the
join process. It may take up to 10 seconds between the time the Tracker was
reset and the beginning of the LED join attempt pattern.
Removing and reinserting the battery will reset the Tracker. As soon as new
batteries are inserted, the Tracker boots up and tries to join a LoRaWAN.
2.5 Mounting
There is a mounting hole on each corner on the bottom side of the Tracker
enclosure (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1: The Mounting Hole Locations on the Bottom of the Tracker.
These mounting holes can be used to fasten the enclosure to a solid surface,
cable, etc. The mounting holes are slots so the device can be secured with
ropes, zip ties, or hooks depending on the user’s needs. If using cables or
zip ties, they can be threaded through both slots on either side of the
enclosure as shown in Figure 2-2. The recommended zip tie width is 3 mm.
Mounting fasteners are not provided with the Tracker.

3 Operation, Alarms, and Management
3.1 Configuration
The Tracker supports a full range of OTA configuration options. Specific
technical details are available in the Tracker TRM [1]. All configuration
commands need to be sent OTA during a Tracker’s DL windows.
3.2 Default Configuration
By default, the Tracker is configured to:
· Report the battery voltage once per day,
· Perform a BLE Scan and report up to 8 discovered devices once every hour.
· Perform a BLE scan and report up to 8 discovered devices when the function
button is pressed.
3.3 LED Behaviour
See Figure 1-2 for the location and identification of the Tracker LEDs. The
boot and join LED procedure is as follows.
1. Both LEDs will come on briefly when power is first applied. 2. After a
small delay ( < 1 s) the LEDs will turn off and one of them will blink
briefly.
a. If the green system LED blinks, then all health checks on the board passed.
b. If the red LoRa LED blinks, then one of the health checks failed. Consider
replacing
the battery, or moving the sensor to an environment within temperature range.
3. Immediately after the boot pattern, the join procedure will begin. During
this time the
green system LED will blink continuously until the sensor has joined a
network. 4. The red LoRa LED will now blink whenever LoRa activity occurs on
the sensor (transmitting
or receiving packets, including the join request packets). During normal
operation,
· The red LoRa LED will blink whenever LoRa activity occurs on the sensor
(transmitting or receiving packets), and
· The green system LED can be controlled via the downlink command interface.
BLE Asset Tracker User Guide TEKTELIC Communications Inc.
T0005946_UG Confidential
Version 1.1 Page 16 of 21
NOTE: Any other LED pattern behaviour not described above most likely
indicates a low battery. For example, if steps 1-2 repeat continuously, the
battery no longer has enough charge to power the join procedure.
3.4 Reset Button Function
There is an externally-accessible function button on the device, that can be
pushed by a pin, such as a paper clip (see Figure 1-2). The button should not
be pushed hard. The main objective of the push button is to trigger the
Tracker to send an uplink such that the Tracker (which acts as a ClassA
LoRaWAN sensor) will open receive windows to receive DL commands.
The definition of when a push button event is registered is user configurable.
The default configuration is pushing and releasing the button at least 1 time
within 1 second. Alternatively, the button can be configured to register an
event by keeping the button pushed for a defined number of seconds. In either
case, when the event is registered, the Tracker sends an uplink. The uplink
can be empty or configured to contain the battery voltage, acceleration
vector, temperature, BLE scan results, or any combination of these.
3.5 Push Button Function
The Tracker has an externally-accessible push button, actuated by pushing
against the enclosure on a designated area. The reset is instant, i.e. the
button does not need to be held. The reset restarts the microprocessor. All
the FW load and configuration parameters in the Flash are remembered during
the reset.
NOTE: Shutting down or resetting the Tracker will cause all unsaved user
configurations to be lost. Save your desired configuration to the Tracker
flash before powering off or resetting the Tracker.
