INDOOR LOCATION TECHNOLOGY
Why indoor location technology?
GPS can deliver very precise locations when used outdoors
and away from large buildings.
However, when working indoors GPS signals can be degraded,
resulting in a reported location that is imprecise for an
ecient emergency response.
For many cases that involve commercial or industrial buildings,
GPS signals are blocked by the building completely and no GPS-
computed location is available at all.
Blackline Safety’s indoor location technology solves this
problem, making it possible to accurately locate an employee
working indoors and around large buildings. Combined with
custom oor plans, Blackline’s Location Beacon precisely displays
an employee’s location on a Google™ map. The end result is the
fastest possible emergency response to your employee’s exact
location.
What are Location Beacons?
Location Beacons are compact, wireless positioning transmitters.
Installed throughout facilities, Location Beacon should be placed
wherever GPS signals are unreliable or unavailable.
Each beacon broadcasts a unique identity number that is
received by your Blackline device, whether that be G7c/G7x,
Loner M6/M6i, Loner 900, Loner SMD or Loner IS+.
Safety monitoring devices report the identity of each beacon
within range back to the Blackline Live portal. Blackline Live uses
associated location information to improve the accuracy of the
device user’s reported location.

2
What are oor plans?
Floor plans greatly enhance indoor location
technology, maximizing your team’s capability
to respond without delays. Floor plans are added
to your Blackline Live account, with employee
locations displayed on top of the oor plan within
the Google map.
Floor plans are optional, but increase the
eectiveness of Location Beacons. They provide an
important visual layer on the Blackline Live map
that can improve response time.
Clear, legible oor plans can help emergency
responders determine the best entry point and
route through the building are for rescue.

What are site plans?
Site plans are a great way to increase the level of
detail for your entire property. There may be key
features that are not included within the standard
Google Maps interface, such as muster points,
roadways and other details.
In areas where there is higher population density,
the Google satellite imagery is often high in
resolution and provides great detail. In remote
areas, satellite imagery can be blurry.
With the help of site plans, custom maps or digital
images of your property can be overlaid to ensure
that you have the appropriate level of detail to
manage emergency responses.

HOW LOCATION BEACON WORKS
Location Beacon Safety monitoring device Communication network Blackline Live and
monitoring personnel
Blackline Safety’s indoor location technology is simple and eective. It helps
you map an employee’s location that cannot otherwise be determined using
traditional GPS positioning technology.
When a Blackline device is within proximity of one or more beacons, it reports
the strongest signal to the Blackline Safety Network as a location update.
Within the Blackline Live portal, the employees location is then mapped at the
location of the reported beacon.
Location Beacon is certied intrinsically
safe for locations with the potential for
explosive atmospheres due to gases,
vapors and dusts.

GETTING STARTED
Deploying indoor location technology within a facility is designed to be quick and easy. This guide will walk you
through the ve steps necessary to get your facility set up with Location Beacons.
1. Select Location Beacon placement
2. Install Location Beacon
3. Prepare oor or site plans for Blackline Live
4. Add Location Beacon to Blackline Live
5. Test Location Beacon
6. Changing Batteries

5|| GETTING STARTED GUIDE
SELECT LOCATION BEACON PLACEMENT
Smaller rooms (up to 400 square feet) normally require one beacon. Larger rooms are often segmented into quadrants
with four beacons.
CONSIDERATIONS
Some things to consider when selecting Location Beacons installation locations:
IMPORTANT: Before moving on to
the next step, review your Location
Beacon placement. For each location,
consider how long it could take for
a responder to locate an employee
within proximity of the beacon. If
the time is longer than 30 seconds,
consider the possibility of dividing the
area into two or more zones with one
beacon in each.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Consider placing Location Beacons
near circulation pinch points like
doorways, catwalks or gates
Obstructions made of metal or
concrete will reduce signals more
than wooden structures
Beacons can be placed in elevators,
but should not be placed on
moving vehicles or objects
Beacons can be mounted on walls,
corners, pillars or beams
Smaller rooms (up to 400 square feet) normally require one beacon
to have adequate coverage
Oces or spaces divided with walls should have a beacon in a
central location (like a hallway) or one per room
Large spaces with obstructions may need to be divided up into
quadrants to allow for adequate coverage

INSTALL LOCATION BEACONS
Before selecting mounting locations for Location Beacons, consider our recommendations below for Location Beacon installation.
INSTALLATION
TRANSMIT POWER SETTINGS
Transmit power level aects the range of Location Beacon’s signals. Beacons are shipped in the lowest transmit power setting level
(Level 2), providing about 15 to 30 feet of coverage. This level is appropriate for most installations.
To physically install Location Beacon:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from
Location Beacon by pressing upward
2. Place the mounting bracket in the
desired mounting location with the
arrow on the inside of the bracket
pointing upward. Mark the position of
two of the mounting holes.
3. Prepare the mounting surface with
pilot holes and the installation of
drywall anchors as appropriate.
DURING INSTALLATION
It is important to record Location
Beacon information as you install
them in your facility for reference
when placing beacons in Blackline
Live. You will want to keep track of
each beacon’s:
• Unit ID
