EYE Beacon ATEX

Teltonika EYE Beacon ATEX — Zone 1 Certified BLE ID Beacon for Hazardous Explosive Environments

The Teltonika EYE Beacon ATEX is Teltonika's answer to one of the most challenging requirements in industrial asset tracking — the need to monitor tools, equipment, personnel and assets in areas where explosive gases, vapours or mists may be present. Where standard electronic devices cannot be used safely in these environments, the EYE Beacon ATEX has been additionally reinforced and certified to ATEX Zone 1 standards — confirming it can operate safely in areas where explosive atmospheres may occasionally be present when installed and operated within its certificate conditions.

Sharing the same compact form factor, IP67 waterproof casing, up to 10 years battery life and mobile app configuration as the standard EYE Beacon, the ATEX version provides identical asset traceability, proximity detection and personnel tracking capability — with the additional safety certification that oil and gas, chemical, mining, petrochemical and pharmaceutical operators require before deploying electronic devices in their hazardous zones.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK stocks the EYE Beacon ATEX and ships directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, industrial operators and resellers.

Key Features

• ATEX Zone 1 certified — certified for safe use in ATEX Zone 1 explosive atmospheres where explosive gases, vapours or mists may occasionally be present — enabling asset and personnel tracking in hazardous environments that standard beacons cannot enter

• Enhanced robustness — additionally reinforced construction beyond the standard EYE Beacon, built to withstand the demanding physical and chemical conditions of oil and gas, chemical, mining and petrochemical environments

• IP67 waterproof and dustproof — robust casing rated to IP67 for reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions including exposure to water, dust, dirt and conditions covered by its IP rating and manufacturer instructions

• Up to 10 years battery life — long-life internal battery dramatically reduces maintenance requirements and enables permanent deployment on tools, equipment and assets in hazardous zones

• Up to 80 metre BLE range — Bluetooth Low Energy range of up to 80 metres for reliable detection across large industrial facilities and outdoor hazardous zones

• Unique BLE ID broadcasting — each EYE Beacon ATEX has a unique identification number broadcast wirelessly via BLE — enabling individual asset and personnel identification without physical contact

• iBeacon and Eddystone protocol support — compatible with Teltonika trackers, BLE gateways and third-party indoor positioning systems

• Proximity event detection — compatible Teltonika trackers and gateways generate proximity events based on beacon signal strength for Near and Away zone management

• Personnel tracking — when worn by workers as a badge or keychain, the unique ID enables individual personnel to be identified and tracked across hazardous zone facilities

• Asset and tool tracking — attached to pumps, centrifuges, machinery, tools and equipment, enables room-accuracy location of assets across complex industrial sites

• Four mounting options — screws, adhesive tape, zip ties and keychain attachment for flexible secure deployment on diverse equipment and asset types

• Mobile app configuration — configured via the Teltonika EYE mobile app on Android or iOS — no specialist tools required

• Fully compatible with Teltonika firmware platform — requires a supported receiver model, firmware and configuration for extended functionality

EYE Beacon ATEX vs Standard EYE Beacon — Which Should You Choose?

Both devices share the same form factor, IP67 rating, up to 10 years battery life, BLE range, protocols and mobile app configuration. The EYE Beacon ATEX adds ATEX Zone 1 certification and enhanced reinforcement for safe deployment in hazardous explosive atmospheres — oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, mining operations, petrochemical sites and pharmaceutical manufacturing where standard electronic devices cannot be used. If your deployment is in a standard commercial or industrial environment with no explosive atmosphere risk, the standard EYE Beacon is the appropriate choice. For hazardous areas, select equipment whose exact certificate matches the site classification and installation conditions.

Typical Use Cases

Ideal for oil and gas facility asset and personnel tracking in ATEX Zone 1 classified areas, chemical plant equipment monitoring in potentially explosive atmospheres, above-ground industrial asset tracking within the applicable gas-zone classification, petrochemical and refinery tool and equipment management, pharmaceutical manufacturing facility asset monitoring in classified zones, offshore platform personnel and equipment tracking, and any industrial application requiring certified safe BLE tracking in explosive atmosphere classified environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ATEX Zone 1 and why does it matter?

ATEX Zone 1 classifies areas where explosive atmospheres of gases, vapours or mists are likely to occur occasionally during normal operations. Standard electronic devices — including standard EYE Beacons — cannot be used in Zone 1 areas as they could potentially cause ignition. The EYE Beacon ATEX has been specifically tested, reinforced and certified to operate safely in Zone 1 environments within its certificate conditions, enabling reliable asset and personnel tracking in these areas for the first time.

What is the difference between the EYE Beacon ATEX and the standard EYE Beacon?

The EYE Beacon ATEX has the same form factor, battery life, IP67 rating, BLE range and protocols as the standard EYE Beacon. The ATEX version adds ATEX Zone 1 certification and enhanced physical reinforcement for safe deployment in hazardous explosive atmospheres. Choose the standard EYE Beacon for non-hazardous environments. Choose the ATEX version for ATEX Zone 1 classified areas.

Is there also an EYE Sensor ATEX version?

Yes — the EYE Sensor ATEX is the ATEX Zone 1 certified version of the EYE Sensor, adding temperature, humidity, accelerometer and magnet detection alongside Zone 1 certification for hazardous environments. Contact us if you require environmental monitoring alongside personnel and asset tracking in ATEX zones.

Can I buy the EYE Beacon ATEX in bulk from Tracking Hardware UK?

Yes — we supply telematics service providers, industrial operators and resellers across the UK and internationally. Volume pricing and trade accounts are available. Contact us for a bulk quote.

Check the supplied device marking and certificate conditions against the installation. Group II gas certification must not be treated as approval for underground mines or combustible-dust zones. Receivers and other equipment in the hazardous area need their own suitable approval.
