HID® BEEKSLR001
Install Guide
PLT-05768, A.0
1. Overview
This BEEKs™ LR Install Guide covers the basics of the BLE long-range beacon setup and provisioning of equipment with
Bluzone Cloud account and project. The BEEKSLR001 family of long-range beacons (+20 dBm Tx max) are intended for
environments that require higher beacon transmission strength than the standard BEEKS001 family of beacons (+5 dBm
Tx max). This install guide is intended for install technicians.
BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons are among the most advanced beacons in the industry. Being fully
Apple iBeacon and Google Eddystone compatible, BEEKs beacons may be used for any standard beacon application
that provides location based promotional or way-finding services to smartphone users. BEEKs beacons are available in
multiple form factors and sensor configurations.
When combined with HID Global’s end-to-end IoT ecosystem, which includes BluFi™ BLE to WiFi gateways and the
Bluzone™ cloud services, BEEKs can be centrally managed remotely through the cloud to transfer new messages,
firmware updates, and battery status checks. Their unique design allows BEEKs to broadcast reliably even in densely
populated WiFi environments.
The BLE radio enables the Beacon to transmit condition monitoring, proximity messaging, way finding, and asset
location. Bluzone allows you to control the transmitting capabilities of the Beacon. The Beacon provides the ability to
transmit in iBeacon, Eddystone, or sBeacon format.
The BEEKs Beacons link to ID64 with a QR code printed/labeled on the outer casing.

4. Best practices
Maximum of 15 – 20 beacons per BluFi for best results
Maximum 20 – 30 meters from beacon to BluFi for
best results (distance will decrease for increased
interference/ blockages)
Network troubleshooting
2.4 GHz WiFi only
HTTPS port 443 must be open
DHCP required
1 Mbps upload speed required
Captive WiFi portals not compatible
Compatible certificate formats: .pem, .der
BluFi MAC address whitelisting may be required on
some networks
5. Sensor locations
Beacons should be mounted to a clean, flat, rigid surface in
the environment to be monitored.
The BEEKs LR may be placed on a flat, stable surface or
mounted with the VHB adhesive. To maximize Bluetooth
coverage, orient the beacon such that the top (side with
HID logo) faces the BluFi gateway.
6. Prerequisites
An active Bluzone account
