BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY (BLE)

The Detecto Model 6880 Rolling Chair Scale models 6880-C and 6880-C-AC have a wireless
transmitter inside the weight indicator enclosure that can be configured for Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE). When possible, BLE standard specifications are used (those that are adopted
by the Bluetooth SIG). Custom services were created to request indicator and scale
information whose communication protocol was developed by the Scale Manufacturers
Association (SMA).
