Regulatory Compliance The CYALKIT-E03 Solar-Powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Sensor Beacon 5 Pack is intended for use as a development platform for hardware or software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure.
Handling Boards CYALKIT-E03 boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing the board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad, if available. Do not slide the board over any surface.
The sensor data is transmitted to a BLE device and sent to the cloud for analysis. This kit guide explains how to set up and use the CYALKIT-E03. Be sure to read it before using the product. For questions, please consult with sales or support representatives.
