Description

The HoneyComm HCBB22 is an industrial Bluetooth beacon engineered for persistent, low-maintenance IoT applications. It leverages a low-power Bluetooth SoC to broadcast standard iBeacon/Eddystone frames containing customizable identifiers, RSSI data, and battery level, enabling precise indoor positioning and asset tracking systems.

Its robust design, featuring an IP68 waterproof rating and dual mounting options (3M adhesive or screw), ensures reliable operation in harsh environments from -40°C to 85°C. The beacon’s ultra-low 19µA operating current, combined with a high-capacity CR2477 battery, delivers an exceptional multi-year operational lifespan, minimizing total cost of ownership.

Key Features

Ultra-low power consumption architecture for extended field deployment.
Configurable broadcast parameters (UUID, Major, Minor, TX power, interval) via dedicated mobile app.
Supports both iBeacon and Eddystone protocols for compatibility with major positioning platforms.
IP68-rated enclosure provides complete protection against dust and prolonged water immersion.
Connectable variant enables remote management and firmware updates over Bluetooth (OTA).
Broadcasts critical telemetry including battery level and calibrated RSSI@1m for distance estimation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I configure the broadcast parameters of the HCBB22 beacon?

Download the 'KTBB Connect' app on your iOS or Android smartphone. Enable Bluetooth on your phone, power on the beacon, and it should appear in the app's device list. Select it to connect (for connectable variants) and access the configuration menu to set the UUID, Major, Minor, transmit power, broadcast interval, and device name. Changes are written directly to the beacon's memory via BLE.

What is the difference between the connectable and non-connectable HCBB22 variants?

The connectable variant allows a smartphone or gateway to establish a Bluetooth GATT connection for real-time parameter configuration and Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates. The non-connectable variant is set once via a proprietary programmer and then only broadcasts its signal; it cannot be reconfigured wirelessly. For field-updatable deployments, the connectable type is recommended.

How is the 5-year battery life calculated, and what factors affect it?

The 5-year estimate is based on using a fresh CR2477 battery, a transmit power of 0dBm, a broadcast interval of 1 second, and an ambient temperature of 25°C. Increasing the transmit power, shortening the broadcast interval, or operating in extreme temperatures will increase current draw and reduce battery lifespan. The beacon's ultra-low ~19µA sleep current between broadcasts is key to longevity.

Can the HCBB22 beacon be used for outdoor installations?

Yes, the HCBB22 is well-suited for outdoor use. Its IP68 rating guarantees protection against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water. The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers most environmental extremes. For mounting, you can use the provided 3M VHB adhesive on clean surfaces or utilize the screw mounting points on the housing for a permanent, secure installation.
