Description
Elsys room sensor (ERS) is a universal indoor climate sensor
for LoRaWAN™ wireless network. The sensor measures
temperature, humidity, light intensity*, Co2*, sound level and
detects motion*. Elsys room sensor is a battery powered
device and designed to be installed quickly and easily. The
motion sensor can be used for presence monitoring systems.
All Elsys sensors are equipped with NFC (Near Field
Communication) and can be easily configured from a
smartphone.

Installation
1. Remove the back panel of the sensor with a small
screwdriver.
2. Install the batteries. The ERS requires one or two AA
batteries. The battery type is 3.6V Lithium Battery
(ER14505). You can use one battery. For the ERS-
CO2and ERS-Sound we recommend two batteries to
get maximum operation time. Use battery slot A if only
one battery is used.

3. Mount the pack panel on the wall using some of the
six mounting holes.
4. Attach the sensor part to the back panel.
I
CAUTION
Using batteries other than specified may result in explosion.
Dispose of properly, observing environmental protection rules.

Sensor configuration
All sensor settings can be configured via smartphone and
Android application with NFC (Near field communication) or
over the air via the network server and downlink data to the
sensor. Sampling rate, spreading factor, encryption keys, port
and modes can be changed. All sensor settings can be locked
from the server or NFC and end users cannot read or change
settings on the sensor.
Android application
1. Download Elsys “Sensor Settings” application from
Google Play Store and install it on an Android
smartphone or tablet. The device must support NFC.
2. Enable NFC on the device and start the application.
3. Place your Android device on top of the NFC antenna
on the sensor.
4. Remove the Android device from the sensor when the
data has been updated.
5. See the help in the application for more information

Sensor application
Sensor startup
When the sensor starts up it loads configuration from the
internal memory and merge it with user configuration. 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 a
NFC writer or phone. The
sensor always writes new
configuration to NFC chip at
startup. When configuration
is done the sensor tries to
join the network if OTAA
(Over The Air Activation) is
enabled. The sensor led
flashes orange when it tries
to join a network. The sensor
tries to join the network
every 10 second and
increases the join timer at
every failed attempt by
10%, up to maximum 1 hour.
After startup, configuration
and join the sensor enters
sampling mode.

NFC read/write
When reading or writing NFC configuration data to the sensor
it starts a timer and delays its action x seconds. It delays its
action because of the bad connection that can be in NFC
communication. Types of bad connection can be distance,
location or rapid movement. After the delay the sensor
determines if the NFC data has changed or not. If the data
has change the sensor reboots and starts from power up.
When writing data to the sensor try to get the best
connectivity as possibly. Locate the NFC antenna of the
phone and sensor. Keep the 2 devices as close as possible
and don’t move them while writing or reading. When you have
written data to the sensor, let the sensor reboot and restart
before trying to write again. You can always validate your
settings by reading the NFC data after the sensor has
restarted.
