Getting Started
The CS1000 is a long-range, low-power door and window sensor supporting LoRaWAN or
Coralink wireless protocols. The sensor provides configurable real-time alarms or regular
reported statistics.
The sensor can be readily attached to doors, windows, or drawers and other equipment. The
base unit detects the presence of a strong magnetic field (provided by the included magnet).
Small and low profile, the sensor can be used for a wide variety of applications where
magnetic triggered events or counting is required.
What’s In the Box
The CS1000 door sensor package contains the following:
 Door Sensor
 Magnet
The door sensor is comprised of the main unit, the sensor, and a magnet. Each of these units
have double sided tape to permanently attach the to smooth surfaces. See Installation for
additional details and to learn more about attaching the sensors.

Attaching to the Network
The device is shipped in a factory hibernate state. Once the sensor is removed from the
packaging, it can be activated by pushing the SET button once.
The device will activate, blinking orange four times and begin issuing join requests. The LED
status indicators is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2 – CS1000 LED Status Indicators
Periodically, the device will blink red twice while attempting to join. Assuming the device is
properly registered on an available network and in range, it should connect. It will blink green
four times to indicate it has joined.
Once joined, the device can be tested by moving the magnet away and near the main unit
sensor. By default, the device will generate open and closed alarms to notify the application that
the events have occurred. If the magnet remains away too long from the main sensor unit, time
alarms may also be issued.
Note: If the device has not joined within a few minutes, the LED will stop blinking, though it will
continue try to join: ten times in the first hour, then longer intervals over the first week until finally
attempting once every 12 hours. This is done to conserve battery power when the network is not
available for long periods of time. You may reset the join schedule by performing a Network
Reset on the device, see User Interface.
To learn more about the capabilities of the CS1000, see Configuration and Integration.

User Interface
Reset / Status Button
The CS1000 user interface is comprised of the LED status indicators (Figure ) and the button
shown below. Pressing the button quickly, will indicate the current network status discussed
previously.
Figure 3 – Performing Network or Factory Reset on the Door Sensor
Holding the button will perform a network or factory reset:
 Network Reset – Press and hold the key button for 10 seconds, but less than 25, then
release. The device will reset all LoRaWAN Settings which do not affect device
operation and reboot. Following reboot, a reset event uplink (confirmed) will be sent
upon rejoining the LoRaWAN network.
 Factory Reset – Press and hold the key button for > 25 seconds, then release. The
device will reset all parameters to factory defaults. Following reboot, a Factory Reset
event uplink (confirmed) will be sent upon rejoining the LoRaWAN network.

Status Indicators
A single button press will indicate the network status. The following table summarizes all the
LED indicators.
LED Status
Fast Red Blink Two (2) Times Not Joined
Fast Green Blink Four (4) Times Joined
Slow Red Blink Two (2) Times Joining Network
Slow Green Blink Four (4) Times Joined Network
Network status blink occurs up to 50 times. Single button press will resume status blink for
another 50 cycles.
About LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN is a low-power, secure, wide area (LPWAN) networking protocol designed to
wirelessly connect devices to the internet in regional, national, or global networks. To use the
CS1000 Door Sensor, wireless connectivity to an internet connected LoRaWAN gateway is
required.
For more information about LoRa and LoRaWAN visit the LoRa Alliance webpage: https://lora-
alliance.org/.
Terminology
 Message sent from the Door Sensor to the network are referred to as “uplink messages”
or “uplinks”.
 Messages sent to the Door Sensor from the network are referred to as “downlink
messages” or “downlinks”.
 Both uplink and downlink messages may be of either “confirmed” or “unconfirmed” type.
Confirmed messages are guaranteed to be delivered but will consume extra wireless
bandwidth and battery life. These mechanisms are analogous to TCP (confirmed) vs
UDP (unconfirmed) protocols used for IP networks.
 Before a device, such as the CS1000 Door Sensor can transmit messages using
LoRaWAN it must go through a “join” process. The Join process involves key-exchange
with the cloud-hosted network provider (The Things Network, Helium, etc.) and is
defined in the LoRaWAN protocol standard. If connectivity is lost due to RF interference,
power loss or other temporary internet outages, the device will need to rejoin the
network prior to being able to transmit messages. This process happens automatically
but is managed in a battery-efficient manner and may take significant time.

Installation
1. The sensor and magnet are very difficult to relocate after being affixed to the mounting
surface. Test the sensor and magnet location before affixing the device to the surface.
Use masking or painter’s tape to secure the sensor and magnet to the surface (align the
semi-circle on magnet with the semi-circle on sensor). Once the sensor and magnet
temporarily are mounted, test it to ensure that generates open and closed alarms .
2. Be sure the installation gap between the sensor and magnet is within 0.4 inch and the
semi-circle on the magnet is aligned with the semi-circle on the sensor body when
closed.
3. Avoid exposing the sensor to strong impacts of vibration. The sensor body should be
mounted on the fixed part (frame) of a door or window, while the magnet should be
mounted to the movable part of the door or window.
4. The sensor operates with a magnetic reed-type switch. Take care to install away from
other strong magnetic fields or spurious alarms could occur.
Attaching the Door Sensor and Magnet
1. Clean the Installation Area:
2. Remove the protective layer from the rear of sensor
and place it in the desired position (fixed part of door or
window) and press firmly for at least 5 seconds.
3. Remove protective layer from rear of magnet and align
the magnet semi-circle with the body semicircle, press
firmly for at least 5 seconds.

Alarms and Reports
The CS1000 Door Sensor has three standard alarm messages enabled by default:
 Door Open Alarm – Sensor changed from closed state to open state.
 Door Closed Alarm – Sensor changed from open state to closed state.
 Door Open Alarm Timeout – Door has not closed within the specified time period. This
alarm is optional and must have the interval and count configured prior to use.
Additionally, statistics can be enabled providing regular reports of sensor event activity:
 Door Open Counter
 Door Closed Counter
 Lifetime Door Closed Time
 Lifetime Door Open Time
 Min/Max Door Closed Duration
 Min/Max Door Open Duration

CS1000 Long Range Door Sensor – User Guide
Page 10
Statistics are stored in non-volatile memory and will persist through a battery change or dead
battery. Both the statistic reporting and alarms can be configured remotely by sending downlink
messages.
The sensor has a periodic Heartbeat / Battery-status message that must be sent to maintain
LoRaWAN network connectivity and provide battery status information. The default period for
this message is 60 minutes and may be configured between two (2) minutes minimum and 48
hours maximum
Reset Notifications
After any type of device reboot a Reset Event uplink message (confirmed) will be sent.
Firmware Version
The firmware information can be retrieved via sending a downlink command. See Configuration
and Integration for details.

Replacing the Batteries
1. Remove the housing screw using a
small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Push the sensor body upwards and gently remove the sensor by pulling outwards.
3. Remove old batteries and dispose of in accordance
with your local regulations.
4. Install two new AAA batteries.
Note: Do not mix old and new batteries!
5. Reassemble the sensor and tighten the screw.
