Enable temp and accel

Question

I have a beacon from Wellcore, w912, with NRF51822QFAAH0. I use NRF Connect and I see the temp and accel sensors but I dont know how to enable them. Is there a manual you can direct me to or give me the values I need to enable, set range, and more so I can use my two beacons.

 Not strange at all - that's the whole point of the BLE standardised attributes and services! 
 This allows a device to advertise that it has a "temperature" facility - while being completely independent of how that is implemented.

 It's a bit like USB: when you plug a USB device into your PC, it identifies it through the standard USB processes & protocols 
 CE said: So why cant I get values from temp, I guess temp is what the chip need to shut down if it's to hot or cold 
 Again, that's a question for Wellcore.
