This manual covers the physical installation and platform activation process. Once you have activated a Geobeacon, it MUST be associated with a correct location in the Sensolus platform. Failing to do so may result in trackers not being able to determine their location anymore. Step 1: Place the batteries Step 2: Get the serial number Make sure to write down the serial number of the Geobeacon as you will need it later for platform registration. Step 3: Choose a location Identify the area in which your assets need to be geolocated using this Geobeacon and place the Geobeacon in the middle of that area. Step 4: Install the geobeacon The GB 3000 can be mounted using screws or double-sided tape. Step 5: Verify if the geobeacon works Use the Beaconset+ app to verify that the BLE advertisements are discoverable. You will see the Geobeacon serial number in the list. Move around to verify the covered area. BLE signals and range Sensolus Geobeacons use BLE signals. Water and metal surfaces reflect the Bluetooth signals. Always test the devices in real life circumstances for optimal installation. Range: Depending on the configured signal strength, the Geobeacon will cover an area between 2 meter and 100 meter radius. For indoor geolocation, the standard range is around 30 meters. Installation advice Activation in the platform Once your Geobeacons are properly installed, you need to register and configure them in the Sensolus platform. Sign in to the Sensolus platform and go to Admin → Infrastructure . If your Geobeacons have been pre-assigned to your account, you will see their serial number in the list. Go to the geobeacon you want to configure and edit the settings to give it a useful name. Edit the location: - Type in the approximate address in the search bar and zoom in until you can recognize the place where you physically mounted the Geobeacon. - Click Add geobeacon location and a marker will appear. - Move the marker until it shows the exact place where you installed the Geobeacon. - Click Save to finish. Make sure that your trackers are configured to scan for Geobeacons. This can be done in the tracker configuration page, or Sensolus support can assist with this. sensolus-internal Step 1 - Take parts out Take all parts out of the plastic bag. Step 2 - Open geobeacon Open the geobeacon. Step 3 - Add battery Add the extra battery to the geobeacon. Step 4 - Close geobeacon Close the geobeacon with the small black screws. 200px 300px Mounting with screws **Install with screws:** Use the closing cap, screw, and dowel. The holes are 5 mm and spaced 83 mm apart. Mounting with tape **Install with double-sided tape:** Apply tape to the back of the geobeacon and press firmly against the mounting surface. 300px Installation height **Height:** Install the geobeacon as high as possible, minimum 1.8 meter above the ground. Fixed position **Position:** A Geobeacon is a fixed device that should always remain at the same location. Wrong orientation **Orientation:** Geobeacons are mounted vertically or horizontally with the back facing the mounting surface. All other installations are not recommended.
