1. Introduction
RA0713_R72613_RA0713Y is a ClassA type device based on the LoRaWAN open protocol.
The RA0713_R72613_RA0713Y can be connected to the EC_5 sensor, and the value collected by the sensor is reported to the corresponding gateway.
LoRa Wireless Technology:
LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long distance and low power consumption. Compared with other communication methods,
LoRa spread spectrum modulation method greatly increases to expand the communication distance. Widely used in long-distance, low-data wireless

communications. For example, automatic meter reading, building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring. Main features
include small size, low power consumption, transmission distance, anti-interference ability and so on.
LoRaWAN:
LoRaWAN uses LoRa technology to define end-to-end standard specifications to ensure interoperability between devices and gateways from different
manufacturers.

Instruction
RA0713_R72613_RA0713Y has a network information memory function saving function when power-down.
This function is turned off by default, that is, it will be re
-joined every time it is powered back on. This function
ca
n be turned on by the ResumeNetOnOff command. At this time, each time the power is rewritten, the last
network joining information will be recorded (including saving the network address information assigned to it,
etc., if you want to join a new network, y
ou need to perform a factory resetting operation first.) It will not
be re
-joined the previous network.
Operation
1.
Press and hold the button for 5 seconds and release (the binding button is released when the LED
flashes), and the LED flashes for 20 times.
2.
The device will automatically restart to re-joining.

5. Data Report
The device will immediately send a version package Report and a report data with temperature and humidity and voltage
Values. The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
ReportMaxTime: RA0713_ RA0713Y is 180s and RA72613 is 900s; (subject to factory
settings) ReportMinTime: 30s; ReportChange: 0;
Note: The device send data cycle has been programmed to be correct.
The interval between two reports must be the maximum time
The RA0713_R72613_RA0713Y device does not support the ReportChange function, that is, the function is
invalid. The sent report data string is always sent according to the ReportMaxTime period (starting to the end of the
first data as a period).
The data of the device Report is: soil moisture value, ReportType count = 1;
Note: 1. The value of ReportMaxTime is greater than (ReportType count *ReportMinTime + 10 units: seconds);
2. The device also supports Cayenne's TxPeriod cycle configuration instructions. Therefore, the device can
also perform a report according to the cycle time of the TxPeriod value; and at a certain time, the report period is
ReportMaxTime or TxPeriod, depending on which cycle time is configured last time;
3. After pressing the button, the device needs 35 seconds to process the sensor information, please be patient.
The data parsing reported by the device is referenced by the MiDoMet LoraWAN Application Command document
and www.midosmart.com

Notes :
1) The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval. When it is sleeping, it does not collect data.
2) The data collected is compared with the last data reported. If the data variation is greater than the ReportableChange value, the device reports according to MinTime interval. If the
data variation is not greater than the last data reported, the device reports according to MaxTime interval.
3) We do not recommend to set the MinTime Interval value too low. If the MinTime Interval is too low, the device wakes up frequently and the battery will be drained soon.
4) Whenever the device sends a report, no matter resulting from data variation, button pushed or MaxTime interval, another cycle of MinTime/MaxTime calculation is started.
6. Installation
1. RA0713 does not have a waterproof function. After the network joining is completed, please place it indoor. Please pay attention to the direction
when installing the sensor, keep the pickup ring facing down.

7. Important Maintenance Instruction
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be used with care. The
following suggestions will help you use the warranty service effectively.
•Keep the equipment dry. Rain, moisture, and various liquids or moisture may contain minerals that
can corrode electronic circuits. In case the device is wet, please dry it completely.
•Do not use or store in dusty or dirty areas. This can damage its detachable parts and electronic
components.
•Do not store in excessive heat. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy
batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
•Do not store in excessive cold place. Otherwise, when the temperature rises to normal temperature,
moisture will form inside, which will destroy the board.
•Do not throw, knock or shake the device. Rough handling of equipment can destroy internal circuit
boards and delicate structures.
•Do not wash with strong chemicals, detergents or strong detergents.
•Do not apply with paint. Smudges can block debris in detachable parts and affect normal operation.
•Do not throw the battery into a fire to prevent the battery from exploding. Damaged batteries may
also explode.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery and accessories. If any device is not
working properly.
Please take it to the nearest authorized service facility for repair.
