Wireless Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway

Green “Power” LED

Slow Blink

 = Normal Operation. Gateway is connected to the Wi-Fi network. 

Fast Blink

 = Gateway is in SoftAP mode waiting for you to complete the connection 

process.

Constant On

 = Gateway is locked up, requiring a physical reset by unplugging and 

then plugging back in the Micro USB power supply or PoE source. 

Blue “Bluetooth” LED 

Periodic Blink

 = Data transmission received from a paired sensor. 

Fast Blink

 = Gateway is in pairing mode and waiting to be paired with a sensor.

Amber “Wi-Fi” LED 

Slow Blink

 = Gateway is not connected to the Wi-Fi network.

Fast Blink

 = Gateway is attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi network. 

 (Green “Power” LED will be on solid during this time.) 

Note: The gateway shuts off the Bluetooth Low Energy radio when a Wi-Fi connection is lost, forcing the sensors into 

memory mode until the connection is re-established. (See “Sensor Memory Mode” on pg 3 for more information.)

Pairing Sensors with the Gateway

1.  Select the sensor that you wish to pair to 

the gateway. Apply power to the sensor.  

See its manual for detailed instructions.

2.  Press and hold the “Service” button on the 

gateway until the blue “Bluetooth” LED 

begins to flash (about 3 seconds). Then 

release the “Service” button to enter pairing 

mode. NOTE: When in pairing mode, the 

blue “Bluetooth” LED will continue to flash 

providing the user a 20 second window to 

pair the sensor with the gateway.

3.  Press the “Service” button on the sensor to 

pair it with the gateway. When the sensor 

is successfully paired, the sensor will flash 

its green “Service” LED 3 times. At that 

point, the gateway will leave pairing mode 

and the blue “Bluetooth” LED will go out. 

The blue “Bluetooth” LED will then flash 

each time a sensor communicates with 

the gateway. Repeat this process for all 

sensors. The gateway and sensor pairings 

are now complete.

The figures above are shown for reference. Refer to the 

instructions document for your specific sensor for the location 

of the “Service” button and “Service” LED.

The gateway includes a removable keyhole type base plate that allows you 

to mount the gateway in a vertical or horizontal position. Remove the base 

plate from the gateway and use it to mark the mounting hole locations on 

your mounting surface.  If mounting in a vertical position, ensure that the 

arrows in the base plate and gateway are pointing up. Mount the base 

plate to the surface. Then slide the gateway on to the base plate. 

NOTE ON ANTENNA:

 The unit must use the supplied antennas. Do not 

replace the antennas with other antennas. Using antennas other than the 

ones provided by BAPI may violate FCC regulations.
