1. Introduction
R311D is a simple positioning function, periodically reports RSSI and SNR information to the gateway for processing and can
locate the position status of the device according to the reported RSSI and SNR information
LoRa Wireless Technology:
LoRa is a wireless communication technology famous for its long-distance transmission and low power consumption. Compared
with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation technique greatly extend the communication distance. It
can be widely used in any use case that requires long-distance and low-data wireless communications. For example, automatic
meter reading, building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring. It has features like small size,
low power consumption, long transmission distance, strong 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.

4.Set up Instruction
On/Off
Power on Insert batteries. (users may need a screwdriver to open);
Insert two sections of 3V CR2450 button batteries and close the battery cover.)
Turn on Press any function key till the green and red indicator flash once.
Turn off (Restore to factory setting) Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till the green indicator flashes for 20 times.
Power off Remove Batteries.
Note:
1. Remove and insert the battery; the device memorizes previous on/off state by default.
2. On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid the interference of capacitor
inductance and other energy storage components.
3. Press any function key and insert batteries at the same time; it will enter engineer testing
mode.

When the device is turned on, it will immediately send a version package.
Data will be reported by default setting before any configuration.
Default setting:
Maximum time: 3600s
Minimum time: 3600s
BatteryChange: 0x01 (0.1V)
The reported data is decoded by the Netvox LoRaWANApplication Command document and
http://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index
Note:
The real data sending cycle is subject to the programming configuration before shipment.

Note:
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 change value 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
This product does not have a waterproof function. After the screening is completed, please place it indoors.
Note: To install the battery, use a screwdriver or similar tool to assist in opening the battery cover.
7. Important Maintenance Instruction
Kindly pay attention to the following in order to achieve the best maintenance of the product:
•Keep the device dry. Rain, moisture, or any liquid, might contain minerals and thus corrode electronic circuits. If the device
gets wet, please dry it completely.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty environment. It might damage its detachable parts and electronic components.
•Do not store the device under excessive heat condition. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy
batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
•Do not store the device in places that are too cold. 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 clean the device with strong chemicals, detergents or strong detergents.
•Do not apply the device with paint. Smudges might block in the device and affect the operation.
•Do not throw the battery into the fire, or the battery will explode. Damaged batteries may also explode.
All of the above applies to your device, battery and accessories.
If any device is not working properly, please take it to the nearest authorized service facility for repair.
