Description
VX-18-B is a Viaanix BLE Beacon. VX-18-B is a single-mode Bluetooth low energy product for the
Bluetooth Smart market. VX-18-B can be used where space is limited. VX-18-B enables ultra low-power
connectivity and basic data transfer for applications previously limited by the power consumption, size
constraints and complexity of other wireless standards. VX-18-B provides everything required to create a
Bluetooth low energy product with RF, baseband, MCU, qualified Bluetooth v4.1 specification stack, 3axis accelerometer, and customer application running on a single compact board.
Applications
● Fridge/Freezer temperature monitoring
● Usage through vibration
● Security door open/close
● Asset Tracking
FCC STATEMENT :
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving an tenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
