### Description

The PINIX line is a series of advanced Bluetooth Low Energy 5.x devices using multistandard beacon technology. The PINIX TOW-5 is a BLE Angle of Arrival (AoA) Tag which is specially conceived for advanced business solutions using location-based and asset tracking-based applications. The PINIX TOW-5 can be easily mounted on various surfaces and uses commercially available replaceable button cells.

The PINIX TOW-5 is used for precise tracking of equipment and wares with a replaceable 2Ah Lithium battery (about 4 Years battery life), with temperature, humidity, accelerometer sensors, button, LED, and IP65-protected enclosure. It comes with a downloadable SDK with an extensive library for easy integration into a wide range of location-based and indoor tracking applications. It also includes a wide range toolsfacilitating optimal setup and installation.

### Applications

- Indoor localization
- Location based services
- Asset & logistics tracking

### Features

Asset BLE 5.1 AoA Beacon for precision tracking of equipment and wares with a replaceable 2000 mAh lithium battery (up to 4 years battery life), with temperature, humidity, and accelerometer sensors, a button, an LED, and IP65 protection.

### Sentrax Device Manager

With the Sentrax Device Manager (SDM) you can scan for nearby configurable PINIX beacons, display their battery status, view their ettings and make modifications to those settings. Configuration of beacons are password protected with a four (4) digit user settable PIN.

         ![Sentrax Device Manager app interface showing beacon management features such as battery levels, settings view, and configuration option](https://sentrax.com/wp-content/themes/woodmart/images/lazy.svg)

As an added safety feature, the beacons can only be configured with in a period of 15 minutes after installing the batteries or can be manually triggered into configuration mode by pressing the reset button on the Tag. However, this time duration can be increased through the settings to up to 3 weeks or more.

1. *Enhanced version has life increase between 4 to 12 months based on advertisement rate.
