OVERVIEW
MPact utilizes Bluetooth® Smart beacons in various modes to unify Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® Smart Technology to capture
analytics, accuracy and insight.
Beacon placements can be adjusted within a deployment floor plan, and depending on the mode selected, their battery life can
be tracked over time. Administrators can cursor over a beacon on a site’s floor plan to assess the beacon’s remaining battery
life. This guide covers a variety of indoor, outdoor and USB type beacons, mounting options, and operational instructions for
each beacon type.

MPact Location & Analytics Hardware Installation Guide
2.1.1 Installing the Tie-Wrap Style Beacon
Tie-wrap beacon housings are designed to attach to vertical or horizontal poles or similar mounting surfaces. In Figure 2-1, there
are openings on the back of the beacon housing allowing a tie wrap through the openings and wrapped around a pole or similar
structure.
Notice the up arrow located on the middle of the beacon housing. This arrow indicates the optimal orientation for the beacon
to function properly. Additionally, the smooth front of the beacon should face outward toward the aisle where client devices
are expected to engage (dwell).
Figure 2-1 shows a beacon with the mylar strip attached to the left-hand side of the housing.

2.2.1 Mounting and Installing the Universal Style Beacon
Figure 2-2 shows a universal style beacon. While there is no up arrow on this beacon’s housing, the beacon should be oriented
similar to the tie wrap style of beacon housing, see MB1000 Beacon Part Number: MPACT-T1B20-000-WR.
Notice the up arrow located on the middle of the beacon housing. This arrow indicates the optimal orientation for the beacon
