1. Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
IOT-S500L is a PIR sensor based on passive infraredtechnologyto detect a motionor
occupancy. IOT-S500L can detect whether there is a movement within the range of 6-8m.
Besides, IOT-S500L equips with a light sensor which can link PIR detection results to trigger
scenes. IOT-S500L can be widely used in smart homes, smart offices, schools, warehouses, etc.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-timeusing the standard LoRaWAN® protocol. LoRaWAN®
enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distances while consuming very little power.
The user can get an alarm through Linovision IoT Cloud or through the user's own
Application Server.
1.2Features
●Built-inlight sensor, combine PIR sensor to achieve triggers
●Up to 15 km communication range
●Easy configurationvia NFC
●Standard LoRaWAN®support
●Compatible with Milesight IoT Cloud

3. Operation Guide
3.1NFC Configuration
IOT-S500L can be configured via an NFC-enabledsmartphone.
1. Pull out the battery insulating sheet to power on the device. The indicator will light up in green for 3
seconds when the device turns on.
2. Download and install “ToolBox” App from Google Play or App Store.
3. Enable NFC on the smartphone and open Milesight ToolBox.
4. Attach the smartphone with NFC area to the device to read device information.
5. Basic information and settings of the device will be shown on ToolBox if itʼs recognized
successfully. You can read and configure the device by tapping the Read/Write device on the
App. In order to protect the security of the device, password validation is required when
configuring via a new smartphone. The default password is 123456.
Note:
1) Check the location of the smartphone NFC area and itʼs recommended to take off the phone
case.
2) If the smartphone fails to read/write configurations via NFC, move the phone away and back
to try again.
3) IOT-S500L can also be configured by ToolBox software via a dedicated NFC reader
provided by IoT, you can also configure it via TTL interface inside the device.
3.2LoRaWAN Settings
LoRaWAN settings are used for configuringthe transmission parameters in LoRaWAN®network.

Spread Factor If ADR is disabled, the device will send data via this spread factor.
Confirmed Mode If the device does not receive ACK packet from network server, it will resend
data 3 times at most.
Rejoin Mode
Reporting interval ≤ 30 mins: device will send specific mounts of LoRaMAC
packets to check connection status every 30 mins; If no reply after specific
packets are being sent, the device will re-join.
Reporting interval > 30 mins: device will send specific mounts of LoRaMAC
packets to check connection status at every reportinginterval; If no reply after

9
specific packets are being sent, the device will re-join.
ADR Mode Allow network server to adjust data rate of the device.

Note:
1) Please contact sales representative for device EUI list if there are manyunits.
2) Please contact sales representative if you need random App keys before purchase.
3) Select OTAA mode if you use IoT Cloudto manage devices.
4) Only OTAA mode supports rejoin mode.
LoRaWAN Frequency Settings:
Go to Setting->LoRaWANSettings of ToolBox App to select the supported frequency and select
channels to send uplinks.Make sure the channels match the LoRaWAN®gateway.
If device frequency is one of CN470/AU915/US915,you can enter the index of the channel that
you want to enable in the input box,making them separated by commas.
Examples:
1,40: Enabling Channel 1 and Channel 40
1-40:Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40
1-40,60:Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40 and Channel 60
All: Enabling all channels
Null: Indicates that all channels are disabled

10
Note:
For -868Mmodel, default frequency is EU868;
For -915Mmodel, default frequency is AU915.
3.3 General Settings
Go to Device->Setting->GeneralSettingsof ToolBox App to change the reporting interval, etc.
Parameters
Description
Reporting Interval
The interval of reporting PIR, light status and battery level to network
server. Default: 30 mins, Range: 1 -1080 mins
Note: IOT-S500L will also report “triggered”status of PIR sensor
immediately when it detects motions.
Idle Time When the PIR sensor does not detect motion for a period of Idle Time,

11
Reporting/s device will report “not triggered” status. Default: 120s
LED Indicator Enable or disable the light indicating in chapter 2.4.
Note: The indicator of reset buttonis not allowed to disable.
Illuminance
Collection
Enable or disable illuminance collection. When this is disabled, reporting
interval will be changed to 1080mins automatically.
Change Password Change the password for ToolBox App to write this device.
3.4Threshold Settings
When illuminance collection is enabled, users can define the Bright or Dark state via detection
data of light sensor in threshold settings. Besides, when the PIR sensor is triggered and light
status meets the threshold, IOT-S500L will send alarms immediately. Otherwise, it will not send
data rightaway.
3.5LoRa D2DSettings
LoRa D2D protocol is developed by Linovision and used for setting up transmission among
Linovision devices without gateway. When the LoRa D2D setting is enabled, IOT-S500L can work
as a LoRa D2D controller to send control commands to triggerLoRa D2Dagent devices.
1. Enable LoRa D2Dfeature.
2. Define a unique LoRa D2D key which is the same as LoRa D2D agent devices, then s
elect the frequency and spreading factor. (Default LoRa D2D Key: 5572404C696E6B4C6F5
2613230313823)

12
3. Enable one of IOT-S500L status and configure a 2-bytehexadecimal command (This
command is pre-definedin LoRa D2D agent device). When IOT-S500L detects this status, it
will send the control command to corresponding LoRa D2Dagent devices.
Note: When this feature is enabled, the device will not send data to LoRaWAN®network server if
IOT-S500L PIR or lightstatus changes.
3.6 Maintenance

Backup is allowed onlyfor devices with the same model and LoRa frequency band.

13
1. Go to “Template” page on the App and save current settings as a template. You can also edit
the template file.
2. Select one template file that saved in the smartphone and click “Write”, then attach it to
another device to write configuration.
Note: Slide the template item to the left to edit or delete the template. Click the template to edit
the configurations.
