Beacon Pro Installation

The Beacon Pro is a versatile device that enhances audio tour experiences while maximizing visitor engagement.

Step 1: Unboxing

Unpack the Beacon Pro and activate it using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom.

Step 2: Charging

The battery provides up to 3 months of operation with regular use. Charge the device by connecting it to a power source via USB-C cable.

You can also:

• Use a powerbank for portable charging
• Permanently connect it to a power supply for continuous, low-maintenance operation

Step 3: Installation

Mount the Beacon Pro at chest height, so that the beacons sit in roughly the same horizontal plane as the Podcatcher Pro devices visitors carry. Avoid placing objects between the beacon and the visitor for optimal UWB ranging.

• Do not cover the beacon with thick material — it reduces the range
• Keep it within reach for charging with a power bank, or connect a permanent USB-C charger. A permanent charger is recommended for beacons used for the Alarm

Step 4: Platform configuration

Connect the Beacon Pro to relevant stops through the platform:

1. Open Stop Settings
2. Add a new beacon and select Beacon Pro
3. Define the desired range
4. Publish the changes
5. Synchronize them to all Podcatcher Pro devices

The beacon automatically triggers audio content when visitors with a Podcatcher Pro enter the specified zone. For instance, a 2-meter radius creates a circular activation area.
