1.Introduction
R718PA8 is a Class A device based on the LoRaWANTM protocol of Netvox and is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol.
R718PA8 can be connected with a pH sensor (RS485) and report the pH value and temperature of the solution collected by the device
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.

4.Set Up Instruction
On/Off
Power On
DC12V adapter
Turn On
DC12V power supply, the green indicator flashing once means turn on successfully.
Turn Off (Restore to factory setting)
Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds, and the green indicator flashes 20 times.
Power Off
Remove DC12V adapter
Note
1. On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid
the interference of capacitor inductance and other energy storage components.
2. In the first 5 seconds after power on, the device will be in engineering test mode.
Function Key
Press and Hold for 5 Seconds
Restore to the original setting / turn off
The green indicator flashes 20 times: success
The green indicator remains off: fail
Press once
The device is in the network: the green indicator flashes once and the device sends a data report
The device is not in the network: the green indicator remains off
Network Joining
Never Join the Network
Turn on the device to search the network.
The green indicator keeps on for 5 seconds: success.
The green indicator remains off: fail
Had Joined the Network
( Not restore to the factory setting )
Turn on the device to search the previous network.
The green indicator keeps on for 5 seconds: success.
The green indicator remains off: fail
Fail to Join the Network
