1. DESCRIPTION
MCF-LW06CNTB is a LoRaWAN™ interface with one optoisolated digital input that can be used to count
pulses or to measure a frequency, up to 2KHz, from 5V to 36V. This allows to read any devices with pulse
output interface or measure frequency or speed, like a tachometer.
Power with a 3.6V 7.2Ah or 14.4Ah lithium battery.
MCF-LW06CNTB is available with DIN rail option:

➢dip1 ON/OFF = hardware filter 100Hz/1KHz
➢dip2 ON/OFF = Internal polarization of IO5 to 5V (not available)
➢dip3 ON/OFF = Internal polarization of IO5 to 3V
* Avoid dip2 and dip3 ON at the same time. If dip2 or dip3 on, do not connect IO5.
3. LORAWAN™ACTIVATION
The device supports the following activations on a LoRaWAN ™ network:
NONE: sensor not activated
OTAA: needs settings of appkey and appEUI
OTAA MCF88: Over the air activation according to mcf88 specifications
ABP: needs settings of NwkSkey, AppSkey, DevAddr
The device exits factory activated with NONE mode. The devEUI of the device is shown on the product
label. MCF-LW06CNTB is a Class A LoRaWAN ™ device.
4. DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The activation parameters and the device settings can be read and modified via USB using the appropriate
"LoRaWEB" desktop application (https://iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWeb/#/configuration):

5. INSTALLATION
The magnetic antenna must be positioned on a metal body. It should preferably be vertical and at least 30
cm away from other metal bodies.
The installation must take place in a place where the LoRaWAN ™ signal coverage is good (SF=7 optimal,
SF=12 weak).
Use the provided clip to hold the antenna connector in place, as in the pictures:
