1. Introduction
The R718LB is a long-range (communication distance) wireless Hall sensing device for Netvox Class A type devices based on the
LoRaWAN open protocol, and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol.
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.

Current Change＜
Reportable Change
Any number between
1~65535
Any number between
1~65535 Can not be 0. Report per Min Interval
Report
per Max Interval
The device will immediately send a version packet report along with an uplink packet including hall sensor status and battery
voltage.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
Default setting:
MaxTime : Max Interval = 60 min = 3600s
MinTime : Min Interval = 60 min = 3600s
BatteryChange: 0x01 (0.1V)
Hall sensor status:
When the magnet closes to the Hall sensor, it will report the status “0”
*The distance between the magnet and the Hall sensor is less than 3cm
When the magnet removes the Hall sensor, it will report the status “1”
*The distance between the magnet and the Hall sensor is greater than 3 cm
Note:
The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary.
The interval between two reports must be the minimum time.
Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver
http://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic:
Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange=0.1V
MaxTime MaxTime

Note: MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless BatteryVoltageChange value.
Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.
MaxTime
Sleeping(MinTime) sleeping sleeping sleeping
0H 15th M 30th M 45th M 1H 2H
Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.
MaxTime

0H 15th M 30th M 45th M 1H 1H 10th M 1H 25th M 1H 40th M 1H 55th M 2H 10th M
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
When the magnet is close to or far away, the sensor will be triggered to send a report.
The gap between the Hall sensor and the magnet should be less than 3cm during installation.
When the installation clearance is greater than 3cm, the device will not be able to trigger the signal.
1. The Wireless Hall Type Open/Close Detection Sensor
(R718LB) has a built-in magnet (see Figure 1 below).
It can be attached to the surface with iron material during
installation.
To make the installation more secure, please use screws
(purchased separately) to fix the device to the wall or other objects
(see Figure 2 below).
Comment
Do not install the device in a metal shielded box or in an
environment surrounded by other electrical equipment to avoid
affecting the wireless transmission of the device.
2. Tear off 3M release paper of Hall sensor and the magnet then
attach to the door or window in parallel.
Note: The mounting distance between the Hall sensor and the
magnet should be less than 3cm.
3. When the door or window is opened, the Hall sensor is separated from
the magnet, and the Hall sensor device sends status is “1”
When the door or window is closed, the Hall sensor is close to the
magnet, and the Hall sensor device sends status is “0”
The Wireless Hall Type Open/Close Detection Sensor (R718LB) can be
used in the following scenarios:
Door, window
Machine room door
Archives
Closet
Refrigerators and freezers
Cargo ship door
Garage Door
Public toilet door
When you need to detect the opening and closing status.

Note:
Please do not disassemble the device unless it is required to replace the batteries.
Do not touch the waterproof gasket, LED indicator light, function keys when replacing the batteries. Please use suitable
screwdriver to tighten the screws (if using an electric screwdriver, it is recommended to set the torque as 4kgf) to ensure the
device is impermeable.
Note on battery use:
Because the passivation of the ER battery electrode surface is an inherent characteristic of lithium thionyl chloride batteries,
before using the ER14505 3.6V 2400mAh lithium thionyl chloride battery, the user can use a 33 ohm resistor to activate the
battery for 1 minute to actively eliminate the battery hysteresis.
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.
