Will last up to 1 month between charge with default settings in unconnected mode. When ordered with Meshtech firmware, device is programmed from factory to work seamlessly and integrate fully in a Meshtech system. It has a push button for input and vibrate/LED indication to provide feedback.

The Bluetooth chipset is nRF52832 from Nordic Semiconductor.

  • Firmware Model Number: 0x0011 (17)

  • DFU Type: Nordic DFU (Secure)

  • DFU Advertisement Name: DFU_0011:{MAC Address +1}

Note

Before first use it is recommended to charge the device. Green LED will light while device is charging. Full charge from fully discharged will take 1.6hours with 1A 5V USB charger.

Normal operation procedure

Similar to all Meshtech trackers the Minew B10 0011-03 is delivered in storage mode. This is to conserve power and avoid BLE advertising during transport. Normal operation device-mode for this device is unconnected. Pressing button for 1s will make device discoverable by advertising BLE storage mode advertisements, and device can be switched to unconnected mode by command via system/gateway. If no command to switch device mode is received while being in this state, device will go back to sleep and stop advertisements. To simplify provisioning to unconnected mode, pressing button for more than 5 seconds while in storage mode will automatically switch it to unconnected mode, and no command to switch mode is necessary from the system. When activating by long press, device will indicate that long press (5s+) has been received by lighting blue LED and vibrating.

In unconnected mode device will advertise tracking and status updates. Alarm is activated by pressing button until device vibrate and blink blue LED 3 times. Blue LED will continue to blink periodically as long as alarm is active. Alarm state can be confirmed/cleared from system, and device will indicate with red LED and vibrate to show that alarm has been cleared.

Supported Device Modes

  • Unconnected

  • DFU

Note

In DFU mode, the device MAC Address will increase with one. As an example, if MAC Address is AA:BB:CC:11:22:33, in DFU mode device will appear with MAC Address AA:BB:CC:11:22:34 and advertisement name “DFU_0011:AABBCC112234”. Another example if MAC Address is AA:BB:CC:11:22:3F, in DFU mode device will appear with MAC Address AA:BB:CC:11:22:40 and advertisement name “DFU_0011:AABBCC112240”
