Testing Location Beacon

After Location Beacons have been installed and activated in Blackline Live, Blackline recommends doing a quick test to ensure that each installed Location Beacon is in working order.

Note:

A Location Beacon signal tester device is available to provide an audible and visual indication of beacon signals. To learn more, contact Technical Support.

To test Location Beacon, you need:
  • An installed Location Beacon, turned on

  • A Blackline Safety monitoring device

  • A mobile phone with an Internet connection, such as an iPhone or Android

  • A pre-existing Blackline Live account

  1. Sign in to your Blackline Live account on your mobile phone.
  2. Proceed to each Location Beacon with your safety monitoring device and mobile phone.
  3. Wait five seconds to ensure your device has heard the new beacon.
  4. Select the monitoring device’s map pin from the main map page. The info panel opens.
  5. Confirm the beacon information displayed corresponds with the beacon at the location.
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for all installed beacons.
