Description

The

MCF-LW12TERPM

is

a

solar

powered

sensor

that

reads

temperature,

humidity,

pressure

and

PM

(PM1,

PM2.5,

PM10)

and

sends

collected

data

over

the

LoRaWAN®

network.

Ideally

suited

for

a

wide

range

of

applications

such

as

weather

stations,

urban

monitoring,

air

quality,

industrial,

environmental

or

farming

projects.

Installation

The

installation

must

take

place

in

a

place

where

the

LoRaWAN®

signal

coverage

is

good

(SF=7

optimal,

SF=12

weak).

Place

the

sensor

in

a

way

that

the

solar

panel

is

not

in

the

shade

and

exposed

to

the

greatest

possible

amount

of

sunlight

during

the

day.

credentials

and

other

preferences

:

Always

validate

your

settings

by

reading

has

restarted.

Configuration

can

be

done

only

via

NFC.

No

user.

2.4

Power

ON/OFF

The

sensor

is

shipped

completely

off

to

prevent

battery

consumption

during

storage.

It

is

therefore

necessary

to

carry

out

a

first

power-on

prior

to

commissioning.

Move

the

NFC

antenna

of

the

mobile

(the

exact

position

varies

depending

on

the

model

of

the

smartphone)

to

the

sensor

antenna,

in

the

area

shown

in

the

figure:

m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

At

the

first

power-on,

sensor

will

take

from

1

to

5

minutes

to

give

an

effective

measure

of

PM.

In

case

of

long

period

inactivity,

if

necessary,

is

possible

to

shut-off

again

the

sensor

to

prevent

battery

consumption,

via

downlink

or

with

LoRa

Tool

App:

Passwords

The

device

can

be

protected

by

passwords,

to

avoid

unauthorized

persons

to

read

data

or

modify

parameters.

As

default

passwords

are

equal

to

0.

Allowed

values

range

from

0

to

999999999

(only

numbers).

To

change

the

passwords,

set

the

new

values

with

the

LoRa

Tool

App:

m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

Once

the

passwords

are

setted,

to

gain

m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

To

bring

back

the

sensor

to

factory

default

and

reset

the

passwords,

a

reset

code

must

be

requested

to

enginko

(please

provide

the

DevEUI

of

the

sensor

when

you

ask

for

that

code).

Configuration

file

WIth

LoRa

Tool

App

is

possible

to

configure

the

device

using

an

XML

file,

instead

to

manually

adjust

the

parameters

(for

details

about

the

file

format

please

ask

to

enginko).

This

is

very

useful

especially

in

case

of

multiple

devices

configuration.

With

“Save”

button

an

XML

file

with

the

actual

configuration

of

the

sensor

will

be

generated.

This

is

useful

to

store

or

clone

the

configuration,

or

to

send

it

to

enginko's

support

if

needed.

6.1

Multi

in

an

easy

way.

m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

For

multi-configuration

is

needed

at

least

one

XML

file

with

the

parameters

to

set.

Settings

parameters

(Activation

Type,

AppKey,

AppEUI,

NetKey,

DevAddress,

Band,

Private

option)

for

each

sensor,

based

on

DevEUI.

When

the

sensor

is

approached,

if

one

parameter

is

different

from

files,

the

APP

will

ask

you

if

you

want

to

overwrite.

XLS

is

prevailing

on

the

XML,

so

if

both

files

are

enabled,

if

the

of

the

device

matches

one

of

the

DevEUIs

in

the

XLS

file,

will

be

setted

from

this

one.
