Bluetooth tag MikroTik TG-BT5-OUT, white, outdoor tracking tag

MikroTik TG-BT5-OUT is a white outdoor Bluetooth tracking tag designed for demanding environments. The device is fully sealed and manufactured with industrial-grade materials to provide IP69K ingress protection, making it dust-tight and resistant to close-range high-pressure, high-temperature spray downs. TG-BT5-OUT transmits identification over Bluetooth and supports iBeacon, Eddystone and MikroTik telemetry formats. The tag includes an encoded NFC MAC address, optional encryption and a built-in temperature sensor with ±0.5°C precision for condition monitoring in logistics and outdoor installations. The improved 550 mAh battery provides long operational life—approximately five years with a 1 s sending interval—and the tag operates reliably in a wide temperature range from -20°C to 85°C.

Advantages

TG-BT5-OUT provides industrial-grade protection, BLE protocol compatibility and a long-life battery in a compact, mountable enclosure. Its IP69K-rated, molded housing resists dust, high-pressure washdowns and harsh outdoor conditions. The integrated temperature sensor enables environmental monitoring with useful accuracy for cold-chain and storage applications. Support for iBeacon, Eddystone and MikroTik telemetry ensures interoperability with common receivers and asset management systems, while NFC-encoded MAC and optional encryption improve device identification and security.

Suitable for

• Outdoor asset tracking on construction sites and heavy equipment
• Industrial telemetry and machine location identification
• Cold-chain monitoring and temperature-sensitive logistics
• Inventory and proximity detection in harsh environments
• Permanent or semi-permanent mounting on vehicles, containers or tools

Key specifications

• Ingress protection: IP69K (dust-tight and protected against close-range high-pressure, high-temperature spray)
• Wireless: Bluetooth, supports iBeacon, Eddystone and MikroTik telemetry formats
• Temperature sensor: built-in, accuracy ±0.5°C
• Battery: 550 mAh, estimated ~5 years at 1 s transmission interval
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 85°C
• Enclosure: industrial-grade, fully sealed molded housing suitable for strapping or mounting

How to use

Mount or strap the TG-BT5-OUT tag to the asset or surface to be tracked, ensuring the enclosure is not mechanically damaged during installation. The tag broadcasts Bluetooth advertisements in supported formats; a compatible receiver or controller configured to receive iBeacon, Eddystone or MikroTik telemetry will detect and interpret the transmitted identifiers and telemetry. Use the NFC-encoded MAC for quick device provisioning and identification, and enable optional encryption if supported by your receiver and management system. Consider transmission interval and receiver density when planning deployments to balance battery life and update frequency.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, install the tag on non-sharp surfaces and avoid mechanical stress from clamps or tight straps. In cold-chain applications, verify temperature readings against a calibrated reference during initial deployment. Configure the transmission interval according to monitoring needs—longer intervals extend battery life. When used in environments with heavy washdowns, confirm mounting points provide sufficient sealing and protection from impact.
