Bluetooth Pairing
When the EDB10 is switched on the unit will be discoverable and will be ready to be paired. LED 2 “connection
state” will be white indicating the unit is not connected and is ready to pair.
The EDB10 is discoverable when not connected to a device.
A pairing code is not required to pair with the EDB10.
When pairing with the EDB10 with a data collector “device”, the EDB10 will have the name EDBXXXXXX, where
XXXXXX are the last 6 digits of the EDB10 serial number.
Once the data collector has been paired, all subsequent requests to bond from the remote device
will be honored. The data collector device is the Bluetooth master and must initiate all pairing and
bonding activities. The pairing relationship is persistent across loss of power in both the pairing
device and the EDB10..
Bluetooth Pairing using NFC
The EDB10 can also be paired with NFC compatible devices (e.g. TDC600 controller).
Steps to pair devices using NFC
1) Ensure both pairing devices are switched on, and NFC is enabled on the Data Controller device.
2) Place the Controller on top of the EDB10 unit (screen facing up) with the Controller positioned over the
NFC icon on the EDB10 unit. It may be necessary to move the data controller over the EDB10 unit until the
NFC tags are aligned.
3) Once detected a dialogue box appears asking if you are sure you would like to pair with the EDB10. Select
“YES”
4) One further dialogue box will appear confirming pairing and connection. Confirm the pairing in order to
finalize the connection.
5) Verify that connection has been established in the settings of your data collection device.
Connecting to a Trimble Radio using the EDB10 and EM120 Module
When the EDB10 is attached to an EM120 Cirronet module, and paired with a data collector device, a radio
connection can be established with a Trimble Total Station radio.
This is initiated from within the Data Collector software and is based on the internal settings of the Trimble Total
Station radio.
