  • Updated
Follow

A Sync Bluetooth Bridge, equipped with Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), receives and sends data over the OneVue Sync Bluetooth mesh network, and connects to the facility network to send data to and download settings from OneVue and obtain time from a NTP time source.

Power

AC power: 5V DC USB Mini B (5 pin) connector interface, 5 feet (1.5 meter) cable, Input: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.4A, Output: 5V DC, 1.0A max

Optional AC power extension cable: USB power cable 6.5 feet (2 meter), Mini B (5 pin) M and Mini B (5 pin) F connector

Battery backup power: 3.0v Primex Lithium/Iron Disulfide Battery Pack or two AA 1.5V Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries. When solely operating on continuous battery-backup power, its estimated battery life is up to one (1) day.

Power over Ethernet (PoE): compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard and compatible with 802.3at standard

Bluetooth® Wireless Communication Protocol

Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Wireless Technology, version 4.1

Bluetooth Range: up to 100 feet (30 meters)

Network Communication

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE): Compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard

  • Network Communication Protocols: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)/TLS

  • IP Addressing: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), static IP addressing

  • Data Packet Size: typically less than 5 kilobytes (kB)

Enclosure

Enclosure: ABS plastic

Dimension: 4.7" H x 3.7" W x 1.3" D (11.93 cm x 9.39 cm x 3.30 cm)

Weight: 0.3 lbs (136 gram) with 2 AA batteries

Display: Liquid crystal display (LCD), dimension: 0.75" H x 1.38" W (1.90 cm x 3.50 cm)

LED Status Indicator: green, yellow, red

Mounting: wall or surface-mount

Device may be cleaned with a cloth moistened with water or a common disinfectant. Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small area before applying solution to entire device.

Operation

Ethernet network connection: transmits Sync Bluetooth devices statuses to OneVue, downloads pending setting updates from OneVue, and connects to NTP Server to receive UTC time.

Sync Bluetooth mesh network connection: sends OneVue setting updates and received UTC time to Sync Bluetooth clocks/repeaters and receives statuses from devices.

Alerts: visual LED and LCD display indicators

Check-In Interval: system defined

During deployment mode, the first 8 hours after a Bridge is powered on, its operation is unique during this time period.

  • Bridge automatically connects to the facility's network at the 15th and 45th minute of each hour. During each connection, it obtains UTC time from a NTP Server and checks-in to OneVue to download pending setting changes.

  • Sync Bluetooth mesh network automatically builds at the 20th and 50th minute of each hour. After each build, Bridge automatically checks-in to OneVue to send received Sync Bluetooth device data.
