1.Product Introduction
1.1Overview
IOT-S500DCS simply enables you to know when someone enters the office/building through
a door /window or something has been moved. The minimal magnet is placed inside the
portable part, while the sensor is inside the fixed part that can be attached to door/window or
other objects. IOT-S500DCS can be easily mounted on the doors, panes, or cabinets, greatly
providing real applications for smart homes,smart offices or smart factories.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using the standard LoRaWAN®protocol. LoRaWAN®
enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distances while consuming very little power.
The user can obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change throughLinovision IoT Cloud
or through the user's own Application Server.
1.2Features
●Up to 15 km communication range
●Easy configurationvia NFC
●Standard LoRaWAN®support
●Linovision IoT Cloud compliant
●Low power consumption with 1200mAhreplaceable battery

3. Operation Guide
3.1 NFC Configuration
IOT-S500DCS can be configured via a NFC supportedmobile phone.
1. Pull out the battery insulating sheet to power on the device. The indicator will light up in green for 3
seconds when device turns on.
2. Download and install “Linovision ToolBox” App from Google Play or Apple
Store.
3. Enable NFC on the smartphone and open Linovision ToolBox.
4. Attach the smartphone with NFC area to the device to read device information.
5. Basic information and settings of devices will be shown on ToolBox if itʼs recognized
successfully. You can read and configure the device by tapping the Read/Write button on the
App. In order to protect the security of devices, password validation is required when first
configuration. The default password is 123456.
Note:
1) Ensure the location of smartphone NFC area and itʼs recommended to take off phone case.
2) If the smartphone fails to read/write configurations via NFC, keep the phone away and back
to try again.
3) can also be configured by ToolBox software via a dedicated NFC reader
provided by Linovision 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.
Basic LoRaWAN Settings:
Go to Device->Setting->LoRaWANSettings of ToolBox App to configure join type, App EUI, App
Key and other information. You can also keep all settings by default.
Parameters
Description
Device EUI Unique ID of the device which can also be found on the label.
App EUI Default App EUI is 24E124C0002A0001.

Key
Application
Session Key Appskey for ABP mode, default is 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823.
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, the device will re-join.
Reporting interval > 30 mins: device will send specific mounts of LoRaMAC
packets every to check connection status every reporting interval; If no reply
after specific packets, the device will re-join.
ADR Mode Allow network server to adjust datarate of the device.
Tx Power Transmit power of device.
Note:
1) Please contact sales for device EUI list if there are many units.
2) Please contact sales if you need randomApp keys before purchase.
3) Select OTAA mode if you use Linovision IoT cloud to manage
devices.
4) Only OTAA mode supports rejoin mode.
LoRaWAN Frequency Settings:
Go to Setting->LoRaWAN Settings of ToolBox App to select supported frequency and select
channels to send uplinks.Make sure the channels match the LoRaWAN®gateway.

10
If 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
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
Reporting interval of magnet, tamper and battery level to network server.
Default: 1080mins, Range: 1 -1080 mins
Note: IOT-S500DCS will also transmit alarm when magnet status is changed or

11
tamper button is activated.
LED Indicator
Enable or disable the light indicating in chapter 2.3.
Note: The indicator of reset button is not allowed to disable.
Change Password Change the password for ToolBox App to write this device.
3.4LoRa 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
S500DCScan work as a LoRa D2D controller to send control commands to trigger LoRa
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)
3. Enable one of IOT-S500DCS status and configure a 2-bytehexadecimal command (This
command is pre-definedin LoRa D2D agent device). When IOT-S500DCS 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-S500DCS magnetstatus changes.

4. Installation
3M Tapes Fix:
Tear the 3M tapes of both parts, then make sure the magnet part is placed inside the door
(portable part) and sensor is inside the door frame (fixed part). For double doors, put every part
on each door.
Screw Fix:
Remove the cover of both parts, screw the covers on the mounting positions, then install back
the devices.

15
Note:
1. The notch side of magnet should face the notch side of sensor, otherwise it may affect the
sensitivity of on/off detection.
2. The plane distance between sensor and magnet should not be more than 15mm, and the
height difference should be less than 7.5mm.
