Introduction A. Purpose of This Guide This document is intended to provide the information required to install the hardware component of a Midmark VER-5800 BLE-Plug-In Sensor. II. System Description The Bluetooth Low Energy Access Controller Sensor (BLE-AC) provides a way for indoor positioning. The Midmark VER-5800 BLE- Plug-In Sensor acts as a gateway with an integrated WIFI wireless communication technology to forward the traffic to the cloud. The Midmark BLE Plug-In Sensor scans for BLE devices nearby to gather location information then uploads these messages to the cloud servers. To configure the sensor there is a Midmark app for iPhone and Androids that assigns the WIFI credentials and sets the sensor cloud connection. The cloud connection passes the data along to the indoor mapping location application.

Asset Tracking Platform Component Overview A. Signaling Devices and Supplies Example FCC User Guide 1. BLE Tags VER-58xx BLE/IR Asset Tag (Ext-XL) Leverage the locating precision of the Midmark RTLS infrared (IR) sensory network while supplementing your RTLS with Midmark's near room-level Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The BLE/IR Asset Tag, affixed to equipment or other assets, emits its unique ID using both BLE and IR signals. When equipment is in an area covered by IR sensors, Midmark RTLS reports the precise chair-
, bed or room-level location. Outside of the IR sensory network where BLE sensors are installed, Midmark RTLS provides near room-level location information (within three meters). VER-5869 BLE Asset Tag Providing long battery life and near room-level locating precision, the BLE Asset Tag uses the latest Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Affixed to assets or other equipment, the tags BLE signals transmit a unique identifier received by the Midmark RTLS BLE sensors. Using a signal strength algorithm, the tags are located by Midmark RTLS with near room-level precision (within three meters). Compatibility Note: Ext-XL tags feature improved battery life and are only compatible with XL Wired IR Sensors or Wireless Sensors. When used with the Wired Sensory Network, the tags 20-bit Extended ID technology requires VER-2404-DHCP Collectors or later and VER-2032-DHCP Concentrators or later and VER-2032-DHCP Concentrators or later.

Asset Tracking Sensor Placement Guidelines A. Use the following guidelines for sensor placement in an available 110v outlet:
The distance between sensors should be less than 25 feet The height from the floor should be between 1 and 12 feet in a wall mounted receptacle Room sensor placement preference is away from corridors and room entry doors Corridor sensor placement preference is away from doors for rooms with a sensor Sensors should be 9 to 30 feet away from floor transitions (e.g., stairs, escalators, and elevators) VI. Controlling Relay For the initial release of the sensor, the relay is set to the A. on state with no option to control it. When relay is set, power is passed through.
