PRODUCT OVERVIEW
BlueGuard is a Bluetooth enabled access control device providing an output in the for of relay contacts that activate
when an authorized Bluetooth enabled cell phone is within range. Authorization is confir ed by verification of the cell
phones unique Bluetooth ID. The BlueGuard contacts ay be connected to a gate operator or other external device to
allow activation. Up to 10 cell phones ay be bonded with the BlueGuard for hands-free access.
BlueGuard’s user interface features a secure, agnetically activated switch to place the unit in the set-up ode.
During set-up BlueGuard reads Bluetooth

devices that are within range and allows the user to select bonding using
the cell phone’s keypad by entering a unique PIN. The PIN prevents unauthorized users fro accessing the control
functions or bonding with the unit.
BlueGuard installation, set-up and operation are described in the following sections.

4. Place the agnet against the BlueGuard housing and continue to hold it there. The blue LED will turn on for 10
seconds followed by a ediu flashing for an additional 20 seconds. Re ove the agnet during the ediu
flashing and the LED will flash faster for 3 inutes. During the 3- inute period BlueGuard is in the Discovery
ode and will be found by your cell phone Bluetooth.
5. Select the Bluetooth enu in the cell phone and verify that the Bluetooth link is ON.
6. Select the Bluetooth enu in the cell phone and select the FIND DEVICES, LOOK FOR DEVICES or si ilar
function. The phone will scan for Bluetooth devices and upon co pletion return a list of devices that have been
found.
7. Select the “BlueGuard by EMX”, the phone ay ask to bond with this device, select YES.
8. The phone will ask for the PIN. If this is the first phone to be bonded then enter the default PIN 123321.

9. The bonding process will be co pleted and the blue LED will turn on for 10 seconds.
10. The DVM will indicate contact closure “short” or the buzzer will buzz while this phone is in range.
11. You are now ready to personalize the PIN code, select PULSE or PRESENCE operation and connect the ARM
input if necessary. Refer to the appropriate sections in the Operating Instructions.

The BlueGuard housing is durable PVC, watertight and designed for outdoor use. Bluetooth devices have a specified
range of 33ft. (10 eters) in open air. This range ay be reduced by obstructions. It is reco ended that BlueGuard
be ounted in a secure location that is not easily accessed to prevent ta pering or da age.

The BlueGuard housing provides a ½” NPT fitting to allow ounting directly onto the top of an operator and a ½”
elbow is supplied for side ounting. BlueGuard ust be ounted in the vertical orientation for opti u range.
1. Chose a location for ounting and verify that there are no obstructions in the operator.
2. Make a clearance hole and ount the BlueGuard using the locknuts provided.
3. The joint ust be sealed to prevent water fro entering the operator. A good quality, outdoor silicone
sealant ay be used.

OUTPUT CONTACTS
BlueGuard’s output consists of a set of for C contacts. The co on contact is co on to both the nor ally
open (NO) and nor ally closed (NC) contacts. The NO contact will close when an authorized phone co es
into range while the NC contact will open.
ARM INPUT
The ARM input ay be used to disable the BlueGuard until a vehicle is detected. For exa ple, BlueGuard can
be used with an Outside Safety Loop to qualify the BlueGuard’s output with the presence of a vehicle. When
used, it is connected to a spare set of output contacts fro a vehicle loop detector (Loop Detector Relay 2).
Connect the ARM input to the vehicle detector relay 2 NC contact and the ARM co on to the vehicle
detector relay 2 COM contact. Use EMX DTEK or MVP DTEK in this application. When this feature is not
