Aqua-Scope FLOLWE01 Operating manual

LoRaWAN Flood Sensor
SKU: FLOLWE01
Version: 1.0.0
Product Description
The Flood Sensor detects the presence of water on its sensor pins and sends an alarm message to a
LoRa network when triggered. In addition, the device will regularly report the ambient temperature and
humidity and send an alarm when the readings exceed thresholds that can be set for both humidity and
temperature.
The device itself is designed to sit on the floor, where 3 brass telescopic pins can detect water on both
hard floors (tiles) and soft carpets. The unit comes with a mounting bracket. It can be screwed or taped
to the wall or floor. When the main sensor is in the bracket, a super-flat sensor pad connected by wire to
the bracket is used to detect water.
When an alarm is active, the unit emits a sound and a red LED flash. The unit is powered by an internal
CR123 battery that lasts approximately 10 years in normal operation.
Pairing with the LoRaWAN Network
Please register the device with its three keys at your LoRaWAN server before you start using it. The
Device EUI is printed on the device. Enter this key and your registered email address at https://aqua-
scope.com/lora to obtain the missing keys. The email address is the account email from Aqua-Scope
Shop purchases or the data is provided by your point of sale.
Connecting to Aqua-Scope Monitor
The sensor can be connected directly to an Aqua-Scope monitor using the LoraP2P protocol. To switch
the sensor to LoraP2P, press and hold the button when the battery is inserted. When you see three red
flashes, release the button. The device is now in LoraP2P mode. If you do this again, you will see 3 *
green blinking and the device is back in LoRaWAN mode. Once in LoraP2P mode, please scan the QR
code with your Aqua-Scope app to connect the device to your Aqua-Scope monitor.

Installation and Functions
The first step is to insert the CR123 battery. Turn the top of the sensor housing counterclockwise to open
the housing. Inside you will see the functional components of the unit:
1. CR123 battery holder. Be sure to insert the battery with the correct polarity. Inserting the battery
the wrong way will not damage the electronics, but will drain the battery without any function.
2. Button
3. Dual Color LED
4. Buzzer Sound
5. Computing/Communication Module
6. Temperature/Humidity Sensor
After inserting the battery, the LEDs will blink red/green. This indicates an attempt to JOIN the LoRaWAN
network. Success is indicated by 3 * green blinks, failure is indicated by 3 * red blinks. Pressing the
button will always force a rejoin if the device is not (anymore) joined. Pressing the button will also send a
heartbeat for testing purposes. The unit constantly checks for flooding and measures temperature and
humidity every 15 minutes. This interval is set in configuration parameter #2 and can be changed. If
either temperature or humidity changes more than 0.5°C or 5%, a sensor report is sent. The thresholds
for sending can be changed in configuration parameter #6 or #7. Regardless of any value changes, the
unit will send a status report every hour. This value can be changed in configuration command #4. The
food alarm is indicated wirelessly plus red LED plus buzzer on the unit.
The status report includes
Battery status or alarm status (5 byte)
Temperature (4 bytes)
Humidity (4 bytes)
Close the housing by turning the top of the housing 1/8 turn clockwise. There are two installation
options:
Place the Sole unit directly on the floor without any other accessories.
Mount the bracket to the wall by peeling off the 3M decal or screwing it in place with the supplied

LoRaWAN Configuration Parameters
All Configuration Parameters are 2 Byte values that can be set and read out using LoRaWAN
'Configuration Get' and 'Configuration Set' commands.
#2: Heartbeat Interval: This parameter defines after how many measurement intervals the
sensor will send a report regardless of changes temperature or humidity. The factory default is 24
which translates together with the default value of parameter #4 (900 seconds = 15 minutes) into
24 * 15 minutes = 6 hours.
#3: Temperature Unit: Fahrenheit (0x01) versus Celsius (0x00 = default)
#4: Measurement Interval in Seconds: Temperature and Humidity are measured regularly.
This parameter defines the time interval for these measurements in sec. The default is 900 = 15
minutes. The value range is 10 – 60000. Please note that measuring a value does not
automatically cause a LoRaWAN packet sent out but only if one of the sensor values deviates more
then defined in parameter #6 or #7
#6: Temperature Change Threshold: A change by this value (in 1/10 °C) will cause a LoRaWAN
report. Default = 0x05 = 0.5 °C
#7: Humidity Change Threshold: A change by this value (in %) will cause a LoRaWAN report.
Default = 0x05 = 5 %
#8: Temperature Upper Watermark: An alarm is sent out when the temperature raises over
this value. The value is defined in 1/10 °C, default is 300 = 30.0 °C.
#9: Humidity Upper Watermark: An alarm is sent out when the humidity raises over this value.
The value is defined in %, default is 90 = 90 %
#10: Temperature Lower Watermark: An alarm is sent out when the temperature drops below
this value. The value is defined in 1/10 °C, default is 0xFF38 = -200 = -20.0 °C.
