1. Introduction
1.1 What is LDS02 LoRaWAN Door Sensor
The Dragino LDS02 is a LoRaWAN Door Sensor. It detects door open/close status and uplink to IoT
server via LoRaWAN network. user can see the door status, open time, open counts in the IoT
Server.
LDS02 is powered by 2 x AAA batteries and target for long time use, these two batteries can
provide about 16,000 ~ 70,000 uplink packets. After battery running out, user can easily open the
enclosure and replace with 2 common AAA batteries.
The LDS02 will send periodically data every day as well as for each door open/close action. It also
counts the door open times and calculate last door open duration. User can also disable the
uplink for each open/close event, instead, device can count each open event and uplink
periodically.
LDS02 has the open alarm feature, user can set this feature so device will send Alarm if the door
has been open for a certain time.
Each LDS02 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to
LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

2. Power ON LDS02
When receive the LDS02, please open the enclosure and add 2 x AAA batteries to power it. The
LED will blink when device is powered.
3. How to install LDS02
When install the LDS02 on wall. Please make sure install as below so the marks will close to each
other when close the door.

4. Operation Mode
4.1 How it works?
The LDS02 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join
network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, user just need to input the OTAA keys in the
network server and power on the LDS02. It will auto join the network via OTAA.
In case user can’t set the OTAA keys in the network server and has to use the existing keys from
server. User can use AT Command to set the keys in the devices.
4.2 Example to join LoRaWAN network
Here shows an example for how to join the TTN V3 Network. Below is the network structure, we
use LG308 as LoRaWAN gateway here.
The LDS02 in installed on the door edge to detect the open / close event. And send the status to
LoRaWAN server. The LDS02 will uplink two type of messages to the server.
✓A keep-alive message which send once per day.
✓A door event message when there is a door open/close. (Alarm event can be disabled)
The LG308 is already set to connect to TTN V3 network . What we need to now is only configure
the TTN V3:
Step 1: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LDS02.
Each LDS02 is shipped with a sticker with unique device EUI:

User can enter this key in their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:
Add APP EUI in the application.

LDS02 and LDS01 use the same payload structure. So choose LDS01 as the model here.

You can also choose to create the device manually.

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI
Step 2: Power on LDS02 and it will auto join to the TTN V3 network. After join success, it will start
to upload message to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

Example Downlink payload setting in TTN V3:
Type Code 0x01
If the payload=0100003C, means to control the LDS02’s Keep Alive interval to 0x00003C=60(S)
Type Code 0x04
If payload = 0x04FF, it will reset the LDS02.
Type Code 0x05
0x05 00: Set uplink to LoRaWAN unconfirmed mode
0x05 01: Set uplink to LoRaWAN confirmed mode
Type Code 0xA6
Example: 0xA601: Clear Counting
For LDS02: reset both count number and time.
Type Code 0xA7
0xA7 01 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=1
0xA7 00 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=0
Type Code 0xA8
Format: 0xA8 aa bb
aa: 1: Enable ADR; 0: Disable ADR (Same as AT+CADR command)
bb: set DR (Same as AT+CDATARATE ,only valid after ADR=0)
Example: 0x A8 00 02 : Set ADR=0 and DR=1

4.5 Integrate with Datacake
Datacake provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have data in
TTN V3, we can use Datacake to connect to TTN V3 and see the data in Datacake. Below are
the steps:
Step 1: Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the network at
this time.
Step 2: To configure the Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add
integration. To add the Datacake integration, perform the following steps:

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.
Step 4: Search LDS02 and add DevEUI.

4.6 Alarm Base on Timeout
LDS02 can monitor the timeout for a status change, this feature can be used to monitor some
event such as open fridge too long etc.
User configure this feature by using:
AT Command to configure:
➢AT+TTRIG=1,30 →When status change from close to open, and device keep in open
status for more than 30 seconds. LDS02 will send an uplink packet, the Alarm bit (the
lowest bit of 10th byte of payload) on this uplink packet is set to 1.
➢AT+TTIG=0,0 →Default Value, disable timeout Alarm.
Downlink Command to configure:
Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc
A9: Command Type Code
aa: status to be monitor
bb cc: timeout.
If user send 0xA9 01 00 1E: equal to AT+TTRIG=1,30
Or
0xA9 00 00 00: Equal to AT+TTRIG=0,0. Disable timeout Alarm.

5. Battery & How to replace
5.1 Battery Type and replace
LDS02 is equipped with 2 x AAA LR03 batteries. If the batteries running low (shows 2.1v in the
platform). User can buy generic AAA battery and replace it.
Note:
1) The LDS02 doesn’t have any screw, use can use nail to open it by the middle.
2) Make sure the direction is correct when install the AAA batteries.
Important Notice: Make sure use new AAA LR03 battery and the battery doesn’t have broken
surface.
Example of AAA LR03 batter:
5.2 Power Consumption Analyze
Dragino battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery
calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to
check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.
Instruction to use as below:
Step 1: Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:
https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/
Step 2: Open it and choose
➢Product Model
➢Uplink Interval
➢Working Mode
And the Life expectation in difference case will be shown on the right.
