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 the best recommendations;
***Values are resistance against environmental conditions depends on the combination of all influencing factors, exposure duration and chemical concentrations. Thus, products 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. 1/3 CONFIDENTIAL Confidex 2021 contact.BLE@confidex.com www.confidex.com OPERATING MODES Confidex Viking beacon utilizes Eddystone open standard frame format and/or iBeacon protocol ensuring implementation on a wide range of straightforward 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 3rd 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:
like 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 and information, 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. voltage battery INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Confidex VikingTM can be attached with several fixing methods:
3. 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 +21C to +38C (+70F to
+100F), bond strength can be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heating from +38C to
+54C (+100F to +130F). Installation at temperatures below +10C (+50F) is not recommended. ORDER INFORMATION 300XXXX Confidex Viking Lite
