1. Introduction
LAS-604V3 is a temperature sensor that utilizes LoRaWAN to periodically report temperature. The
temperature measurement is through PT100 probe. For forcing various requests of demand, LAS-604V3
supports two operation modes, mode A and mode B. Mode A is hourly report that temperature is reported or
recorded every hour. Mode B supports temperature measurement every 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes,
depending on setting. In addition, LAS-604V3 will retrieve date time for synchronous from server at boot up
which make sure the accuracy of report time period.

2. Installation
The first step to start to use LAS-604V3 is installing battery. LAS-604V3 can be opened by simultaneously
holding and pressing two places in red circle of following figure. A battery holder is inside LAS-604V3, as
Figure 2. The supply voltage of battery is 3V.

There is a wakeup button, SW1, which is used to wakeup LAS-604V3 when it enters deep sleep mode.
Figure 3 Wakeup Button
There is a jumper inside LAS-604V3 for selecting operation mode of LAS-604V3. Figure 4 is an example which
sets LAS-604V3 to Mode B.

3. Device Setup
Device Activation:
First step is created a node on LoRaWAN Network Server. The Device EUI, Application Session Key, and
Network Session Key will get from product supplier. Application must set to LAS-602/4 and Activation and
LoRaWAN Class should be set to ABP and Class A separately.
Note: Due to LAS-602/4 sending periodically report at each clock, the downlink window is recommended
to set to RX2 for preventing from data collision.
Figure 5 Device Activation
Gateway Notice:
Another notice is that make sure the Gateway frequencies setting is same as LAS-604V3. And the address of
packet forwarder setting must be set to LoRaWAN network server correctly.

4. Report and Data Format
4.1. Mode A
LAS-604V3 reports temperature and alarm through LoRaWAN’s uplink. By default, LAS-604V3 will send a
temperature report every hours. In addition to temperature report, LAS-604V3 will read temperature every 5
minutes by default and compare read value with allowable temperature range. If read temperature is out of
allowable temperature range, an alarm will be sent. Besides, the allowable temperature range can be set by
downlink command.
Except temperature and status report, a LoRaWAN MAC command, DeviceTimeReq, is sent from LAS-
604V3 to server for time synchronization. Figure 8 depicts the entire sequence from power on.
Figure 8 LAS-604V3 Sequence Diagram
There are 3 uplink will be sent by LAS-604V3, temperate report, status report and temperature alarm. The
format of these 3 reports are described at following.

4.1.1. Temperature Report
Temperature report is sent by LAS-604V3 at every predefined period. The period can be changed by downlink
command. The length of temperature report depends on how many temperature records in a single report.
4.1.2. Status Report
Status report is sent by LAS-604V3 at power-on and when LAS-604V3 getting downlink command.
4.1.3. Temperature Alarm
Temperature alarm is sent by LAS-604V3 when the read temperature is out of allowable range.
4.1.4. Downlink Setting Command
Downlink setting command is sent by server to LAS-604V3 for changing period of temperature report and
detection. Once LAS-604V3 getting a downlink command, it should send back a status report for
confirmation.

4.2. Mode B
There is one uplink data type of LAS-604V3 for reporting temperature records and 3 downlink data type for
remote settings whose are manually offset setting, interval time/record period, and single mode (Mode 1)
setup. The formats of these data types are described at following section.
4.2.1. Temperature Report (Uplink)
Temperature report is sent by LAS-604V3 at every predefined period. The period can be changed by downlink
command. The length of temperature report depends on how many temperature records in a single report.

Remote setting command is sent by server to LAS-604V3 for changing offset by manually, interval time and
record period, and single mode activate. Once LAS-604V3 getting a downlink command, it should send back a
status report for confirmation.
In Server downlink page, selecting the specific device and port 15 for setting. The Downlink Payload rules and
