Operating modes of the PIR
Each device of the ACW-PIR range can be configured in 2 different radio operating modes. By default, the products are
delivered in "counting" mode.
a. Counting mode
In this mode, the product sends back a periodic frame containing the number of detections made in a time interval.
This mode is useful for analyzing the occupancy rate of a room or place during the day, or for counting passages of
people or vehicles at a specific location.
CAUTION: The methods for detecting presence may change from one product to another. Remember to refer to the
corresponding Optex documentation to learn more about the detection method.
Product
Minimum time between 2 detections
ACW-PIR360-I

ACW-PIR90-I

ACW-PIR90-O
5s minimum / 120s recommended
ACW-ILB30
5s minimum / 120s recommended
ACW-ILB100
5s minimum / 120s recommended
From the minimum time between 2 detections Tm and the emission period of the sensor Te, it is possible to estimate
the filling rate of a room over the given period using the formula:
Tx = Nd / (Te / Tm) with Tx, the rate in %, Nd the number of detections done within the hour
Example: With a PIR-90-I configured for emissions every hour, which has counted 23 detections within a period.
Then: Nd = 23, Te = 60min, Tm = 2 min
Tx = 23 / (60 / 2) = 23 / 30 = 0.76 = 76%
The more the period Te is reduced, the more the product consumes, but the more precise we can be on this
measurement over time.

ATIM_ACW-PIR_UG_EN_V1.4
b. Alarm mode
In this mode, the product transmits a frame as soon as it detects a presence. This mode is relevant for detecting
intrusions and being warned instantly.
A periodic frame can also be configured, to get windows of downlinks more often.
CAUTION: The methods for detecting presence may change from one product to another. Remember to refer to the
corresponding Optex documentation to learn more about the detection method.

ACW-ILB100

NOTE: ISM band regulations impose a limit on the daily transmission time (duty-cycle). This usually means limiting
the broadcast to one frame every 10 minutes.
It is possible to reduce this period if during part of the day the product no longer emits.
For example, if you want to have an active alarm from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (12 hours of operation) then you can reduce
the minimum transmission period to 5 minutes.
Conclusion, although the minimum time between 2 detections is less than 10 minutes, by default, the sensor does
not transmit within 10 minutes after the last frame sent.

9
ATIM_ACW-PIR_UG_EN_V1.4
In these 2 modes, the PIRs also emit a frame if the case is opened, this allows an alert to be raised if the product is
ever torn off, for example.
The products also return a periodic life frame informing about the condition of the battery.
The periodicity of life frames, as well as frames in counting mode can be configured (see Configuration section). By
default, there is a life frame every day, and a count frame every 60 minutes.
First startup
a. Power up
There is no switch on the PIRs, all you must do is connect the battery to the location provided for this purpose (refer
to the Optex manual of the product concerned for more details) and close the product.
b. Test frame emission
When powered on for the first time, the product tries to connect to the network. Once it is connected, it starts up
directly (in counting mode by default).
To quickly trigger a frame to validate the connection, all you must do is activate the case opening / vandalism sensor,
if the product is connected, you will receive an alert frame.

LoRa
In LoRa, all you must do is integrate the data into the Payload and send on port 160.
Example
«ATO101=11\r\nATO116=00\r\nATO120=0A\r\nATMS\r\nATOS\r\nATR\r\n».
The \r\n symbol deals with carriage return (= enter key), it is represented by the hexadecimal code 0x0a0d
Example
We want to send: ATO120=3C, ATOS, ATR
Then, the following code should be sent: 41544f3132303d33430a0d41544f530a0d4154520a0d
The Downlink must end with the save commands and a reboot to validate the update.
If an ATM register has been modified, you must therefore add ATMS + carriage return
If an ATO register has been modified, you must therefore add ATOS + carriage return
And end with ATR + carriage return
the frame has been written, all you have to do is convert it into hexadecimal and provision it on the platform.

Downlinks are always 8 bytes long and are structured the same way. 3 pairs {address, value} allowing to modify up to
3 ATO registers.
As the Downlinks are necessarily 8 bytes, to record less than 3 registers, you must indicate the same register address
a second time in a row where you want to stop. The module understands when it receives an identical address twice
in a row that it must stop the reconfiguration there.
Example with 3 registers.

Optional: Temperature sensor
The last 2 bytes of standard frames correspond to a temperature value measured by a sensor on board the PIR. From
this we can roughly estimate the temperature of a room using the following formula
With Vt = value of byte 7 and 8 of standard frames
and Vdd = battery voltage raised in the life frames.
This sensor is not systematically wired to the PIRs, it is optional.

c. Commissioning of the device on the LoRaWAN network
The product operates in OTAA (over the air activation), when the product is powered on, a joining request to a LoRa
network is sent. The device must first be provisioned on the required network, at one of the operators (Orange or
Objenious for example) or existing private gateways.
A new pairing request can be made by switching the device back on.

18
ATIM_ACW-PIR_UG_EN_V1.4
Troubleshooting
Radio frames are not received
•Check if the power supply is correctly plugged in
•Check if the device has been commissioned on the network
•Check if the network coverage is good enough for the device to transmit
•Check is the green LED blinks when emissions (LoRa version)
