1 Description

The CMP-9304BC01 is a Bluetooth Low-Energy proximity beacon suitable for mass
deployment by system integrators. The module advertises ID data that is compatible with
common beacon standards (UUID, Major ID, and Minor ID).

An supervisor mobile APP is also available from C-MAX for over-the-air beacon settings to
configure parameters such as UUID, Major ID, Minor ID, advertising intervals, measured
power levels and measured power at 1 meter.

1.1 Features

 ID packet format includes:

 UUID, Major ID, and Minor ID

 Output power information
 IPX4 water resistant
 Beacon interval programmable via mobile APP for flexible power consumption

management. Default interval is 1 second.
 Output power programmable via mobile APP for flexible communication distance utilization.

Default upon first time use is 0.4 dBm.

 UUID programmable via mobile APP.

 Major and Minor IDs programmable via mobile APP to suit user’s self-customization.

 Measured power at 1 meter programmable via mobile APP to configure the reference RSSI

at 1 meter distance

2. Operation Manual

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

2.1 Operational Flow

User Activation
via mobile APP

(Normal Beacon Mode)

2.2 Initial Activation

Upon first use or after new ID is programmed into the beacon device, the beacon will be in
standby activation mode. The C-MAX Supervisor mobile APP has to be used to activate the
beacon into normal active broadcast mode. Upon launching the APP, selecting USER mode,
input the serial number of the beacon to be activated and then a simple click on “Activate” will
activate the beacon which should be placed next to the Apple mobile device.

If after battery is replaced, the device will remain in receive mode for 1 minute waiting for new
ID to be programmed, if no new ID is programmed, the device will go into normal beacon
mode, without the need for activation.

2.3 iBeacon Broadcast

The normal Beacon Advertisement packet will be broadcasted every 1 second or at an interval
set by the user between 100 milliseconds and 10 seconds. The broadcasting packet is
according to the following standard Apple iBeacon format:

The packet consists of :
 UUID (16 bytes or 32 hexadecimal characters). By default it is set to C-MAX’s UUID:

E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0.
 Major ID (2 bytes or 4 hexadecimal characters). By default, it is set to a value of 10000,

unless C-MAX has a list of specific major IDs to be pre-programmed for the customer upon

product shipment.



Minor ID (2 bytes or 4 hexadecimal characters). By default, it is set to a value of 10, unless

C-MAX has a list of specific minor IDs to be pre-programmed for the customer upon

product shipment.

 RSSI as at 1m. As adjusted by measured power level at 1 metre distance. This parameter

can be used by a mobile APP for distance computation.

2.4 Battery Level Broadcast

An additional supplement advertisement packet will be broadcasted every 5 mins by default or
at an interval specified by the user within the range of 1 seconds and 3600 seconds. This
allows the mobile APP to check for the battery voltage and alert for battery low conditions.

2.5 Beacon Settings Customization

If the Beacon is configured as “ENABLE PROGRAMMING”, the user can customise his own
beacon parameters including the following:

- Programmable UUID

o 16 bytes, each byte ranging from 0x00 to 0xFF
o Default set = E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0

- Programmable Major ID

o Range from 0x0001 to 0xFFFF
o Default set = 10000

- Programmable Minor ID

o Range from 0x0001 to 0xFFFF
o Default set = 10

- Programmable Advertising Interval
o Input range from 600 milliseconds to 10000 milliseconds

- Programmable TX Power Level
o Input range from 2 to 17 with definition as follows:

 2 = - 17.9 dBm
 3 = - 16.4 dBm
 4 = - 14.6 dBm
 5 = - 13.1 dBm
 6 = - 11.4 dBm
 7 = - 9.9 dBm
 8 = - 8.4 dBm
 9 = - 6.9 dBm
 10 = - 5.5 dBm
 11 = - 4.0 dBm
