Abstract
This document describes the iLocate system hardware:
Beacon, Precyse part # BC91/005010, BC91/005011, BC91/005012 BC91/005013,
BC91/005014 referred to as 915 Micro Beacon.
Product description
Micro Beacon:
The Micro Beacon is used to define a location zone. It is based on a microcontroller and 4
RF transceivers.
It uses the iLocate proprietary protocol which provides a 2 way, half duplex communication
with the base station and to transmit its ID to the SATs.
BC91/005010, BC91/005012, BC91/005014 are powered by an internal 3.6V battery pack.
BC91/005011, BC91/005013 are powered by an external AC to 12Vdc adaptor.
