Description
This is an advanced indoor environment sensor for LoRaWAN® wireless
network. ERS Sound have internal sensors for measuring indoor sound levels
(peak and average), temperature, humidity, light intensity, and motion. ERS
Sound is a battery-powered device and is designed to be wall-mounted. The
motion sensor can be used for presence monitoring systems. ERS Sound is
equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and can easily be configured
from a smartphone.
The barcode contains DevEUI and sensor type. This label is located at the back
of your device,

Installation
1. Remove the back panel of the sensor with a small screwdriver.
2. Install the batteries. The ERS Sound requires one or two AA batteries.
The battery type is 3.6V Lithium Battery (ER14505). You can use one
battery, but it’s recommended that you use two for best performance
and battery life. Use battery slot A if only one battery is used.
Caution: Using batteries other than the ones provided may result in loss of performance
and battery life, and also damage to the device. Dispose of properly, observing
environmental protection rules.

3. Mount the back panel on the wall using some of the six mounting holes.
It may also be mounted using adhesive tape.
Caution: This device must not be placed near any doors, machines (e.g.,
printer, coffee machine) or in other areas where there’s something that
can make loud sounds. Such placements will give false sound values
(both peak and average).
4. Attach the sensor part to the back panel.

Sensor configuration
All sensor settings can be configured via a smartphone application with NFC
(Near Field Communication) or over the air via the network server and downlink
data to the sensor. The sampling rate, spreading factor, encryption keys, port,
and modes can be changed. All sensor settings can be locked from the server or
NFC to make end-users unable to read or change settings on the sensor.
NFC Configuration
1. Download ELSYS “Sensor Settings”application from Google Play or App
Store (from iOS 13) and install it on a smartphone or tablet. The device
must support NFC.
2. Enable NFC on the device and start the application.
3. Place your device on top of the NFC antenna on the sensor.
4. Remove the device. Current settings will be displayed in the application.
5. Use the application to change any settings if needed.
6. Quickly tap the device on top of the NFC antenna to give the new settings
to the sensor. Make sure that the application confirms your new settings.
7. Wait for the sensor to reboot (5 sec), indicated by the LED flashing. Sensor
settings have been updated.
See the section “Help”in the application for more information.

Over the air configuration
All settings may be configured over the air via your LoRaWAN® infrastructure.
Please visit the support section on our webpage for more information regarding
downlink protocol.
Application parameters
All parameters for the “Sensor settings” application can be found in our settings
document. Please visit the support section on our webpage for more information.
Sensor behavior
NFC Read / Write
1. When reading or writing NFC
configuration data to the sensor, it starts
a timer and delays its action 5 seconds.
2. After the delay, the sensor determines if
the NFC data has changed or not. If the
data has changed, the sensor reboots
and starts from power-up.
3. Write your settings in the application
and then locate the NFC antenna of the
phone and sensor. Keep the two
devices close and don’t move them to
get the best connectivity as possible
when writing or reading data to the
sensor. Bad connection can be caused
by long distance, wrong location, or
rapid movement.
4. When you have written data to the sensor, let the sensor reboot and restart
before trying to write again.
You should always validate your settings by reading the NFC data after the
sensor has restarted.

Sensor startup
1. When the sensor starts up, it loads
configuration from the internal memory and
merges it with user configuration.
2. When the configuration is done, the sensor
writes the new configuration to the NFC chip.
The sensor always writes new configurations
to the NFC chip when something changes in
the sensor or if NFC data is corrupted by an
NFC writer or phone. The sensor always writes
the new configuration to NFC chip at startup.
3. When the configuration is done, the sensor
tries to join the network if OTAA (Over the Air
Activation) is enabled.
4. The sensor LED flashes orange when it tries to
join a network. It will try to join every 10
seconds initially. This interval will increase to
save battery, at most up to one time per hour.
5. After successful connection to a network, the
sensor sends a settings packet and enters
sampling mode.

Sampling mode / Periodic
measurement
The sensor makes periodic
measurements according to the user
configurations.
Motion detection range
Actual range of the sensor can be influenced by
environmental conditions. Avoid installing the
sensor in areas where it will face direct or reflected
sunlight. Avoid installing near windows, air
conditioning, or heating vents. Such placements will
give false values.
Note: The PIR Lens has a blanking time of 20
seconds right after motion event and transmission.
Any movements during this time will be ignored .
