Status Indicators
The Status LED on the front of the CS-1030 indicates the following status:
LED Status
Blinking on/off (1sec interval) Not Joined to LoRa Network
On Switchable Outlet On (energized)
Off Switchable Outlet Off (de-energized)
Attaching to the Network
Once AC Power is connected, the CS1030 will automatically attempt to join the LoRaWAN
network automatically and the Status LED will blink continuously. After a while, the join
schedule will become less aggressive and up to 12 hours will elapse between join attempts. To
immediately force the CS1030 to join, perform a Network Reset operation.
To learn more about the capabilities of the CS1030, see Configuration and Integration.

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
CS1030 Wall Outlet, 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 Wall Outlet to the network are referred to as “uplink messages” or
“uplinks”.
 Messages sent to the Wall Outlet 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 CS1030 Wall Outlet 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 power-efficient
manner and may take significant time depending upon network congestion and availability.

Installation
Important Safety Notice
If you are not comfortable working with 120V electrical wiring, please consult or hire
a qualified electrician. Turn off circuit(s) at the breaker or fuse panel and confirm
there is no voltage in the box before starting the installation (there may be multiple live circuits
within the switch box). Failure to use best electrical safety practices can result in injury or death!
All wiring connections must be made after the power is turned off to avoid personal injury and/or
damage to the outlet.
 In-wall Outlet is designed and intended for indoor use only!
 Total 15-amp maximum current. (Refer to the equipment or light bulb/fixture specifications if
in doubt).
 Outlet is designed and intended only for permanently installed fixtures, and in accordance
with the national and local electrical codes and regulations of the United States or Canada,
as applicable
Getting Ready
Please ensure that the following equipment and electrical requirements are met before installing
the outlet.
 Existing wall outlet replacement or new box with wiring ready has three wires: line (black),
neutral (white), ground (green).
 At least two (2) inches of box depth is required (2 1/8” deep electrical boxes are typical).
 Tools: you will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, wire strippers, and
voltage tester.
Outlet Installation
 Turn off Circuit(s) at the breaker or fuse panel and confirm there is no
voltage in the electrical box before starting installation (there may be
multiple live circuits within the switch box).
 Unscrew and remove the outlet plate; then use a voltage tester to
confirm the circuit is dead

CS1030 Long Range Wall Receptacle Outlet – User Guide
Page 9
 Unscrew the outlet from the
electrical box and pull it out with the
wires still attached.
 Three wires will be attached to the
outlet: an incoming line (hot) wire,
which is black; a neutral wire, which
is white; and a grounding wire, which
is green or bare typically copper.
There may be other wires in the box,
but you should only be working with
the wires connected directly to the
outlet
 Compare your new outlet with
the one you are replacing to find
the corresponding locations for
the electrical screw connectors.
 With the power off, transfer the
wires one at a time, matching
the same color to the
appropriate locations on the new
outlet.
 Connect the first wire, unscrew the
associated screw terminal on the In-
Wall Outlet
 Before Connecting, ensure about
½ inch of the wire is exposed.
Strip off excess shielding as
necessary
 Insert the wire into the terminal
 Tighten the screw terminal
 Gently tug on the wire to ensure
a tight connection

CS1030 Long Range Wall Receptacle Outlet – User Guide
Page 10
 Gently push the new, wired outlet back into
the electrical box and screw it in place.
 Secure the outlet to the box with the two screws.
 Snap on the plate and affix with the provided
screws.

CS1030 Long Range Wall Receptacle Outlet – User Guide

 Turn on the power.
 If installed correctly, the outlet LED indicator should be blinking
slowly indicating that it has not joined. If the device is not yet
registered. Follow the procedures discussed in Section
Registering / Claiming the Device.
 If the outlet was previously registered, press the push button
quickly to activate the switched outlet. The status indicator
should be green.
 Press the push button again to turn off the switched outlet.
 CS1030 Wall Outlet installation is complete and is now ready for
use and/or additional configuration.

The CS1030 Wall Outlet has the following event notifications:
Outlet Socket Notifications:
 Outlet ON (energized) – The outlet is powered on (default enabled)
 Outlet OFF (de-energized) – The outlet is powered off (default enabled)
Additionally, statistics can be enabled to report aggregate outlet socket event activity:
 ON Counter (how many times socket has been switched on)
 OFF Counter
 Current ON or OFF time duration (current state of the switch)
 Min/Max ON Duration
 Min/Max OFF Duration
This device includes temperature measurement capabilities. If your application supports the
Temperature API, the following events & statistics are available:
Temperature Event Notifications:
 Temperature value greater than or less than specified value
 Temperature relative change (positive or negative or both) exceed specified threshold
Temperature Statistics:
 Min Temperature
 Max Temperature

Temperature Measurements and Thermal Heating
All wall sockets can experience a minor thermal heating effect localized to the socket housing
due to impedance at the socket-to-plug connection and minimal airflow inside the fixture box.
This minor heating effect is normal in the operation of all electrical sockets and is not a safety
concern. The magnitude of localized heating increases as the current draw of the connected
load increases.
The temperature sensor of the CS1030 is located inside the socket-housing. Therefore, the
temperature measurements obtained from the CS1030 should be considered a rough estimate
of ambient temperature around the unit. Especially when installed indoors, the CS1030
temperature readings may often be higher than expected due to localized thermal effects from
connected loads on either the always on-socket or the LoRaWAN controlled socket.
