1. Introduction

R718PQA is a long-range wireless occupancy and door sensor for Netvox Class A type devices based on LoRaWAN open 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.

4. Set up Instruction

On/Off

Power on Insert batteries. (users may need a flat blade screwdriver to open)

Turn on Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds till the green indicator flashes once.

Turn off (Restore to factory setting) Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till green indicator flashes for 20 times.

Power off Remove Batteries.

Note:

1. Remove and insert the battery; the device is at 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. At 1

-5

second after power on, the device will be in engineering test mode.

Never joined the network Turn on the device to search the network to join.

The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success

The green indicator remains off: fail

Had joined the network

(not at factory setting)

Turn on the device to search the previous network to join.

The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success

The green indicator remains off: fail

Fail to join the network

(when the device is on)

First two mins: wake up every 15 seconds to send request.

Low Voltage Warning

Low Voltage 3.2V

5. Data Report

The device will immediately send a version packet report along with an uplink packet including occupied status.

The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.

Maximum time: Max Interval = 15min

Minimum time: Min Interval = 15min (The current voltage and occupied are detected every Min Interval)

*if there is special custom shipment, the setting is changed according to customer requirements)

Default reportchange:

Battery --- 0x01 (0.1V)

Occupancy alarm:

* The reed switch and infrared sensor must have detected occupancy at same time (interval between both sensing less than 10 seconds).

Occupy status = 1

Vacant status = 0

Note:

The data transmission period of the device is subject to the programming configuration before shipment.

The interval between two reports must be the mintime

The data parsing reported by the device is referenced by the Netvox LoraWAN Application Command document and

http://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index

Data report configuration and sending period are as following:

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.

Recalculate MaxTime.

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. Disabletime and Detectiontime

If there is to be a person or animal movement detected by the R718PQA within the monitoring range, the reed switch will be triggered, and only when

closing is detected within the following 10 seconds, it reports Occupy status = 1;

After IRDetectionTime(Default 30s), if there is to no longer any person or animal movement detected by the R718PQA within the monitoring range

and the reed switch status is detected as open, it reports Occupy status = 0.

To save the power, when R718PQA detects the infrared signal, it will enter IRDetectionTime period. If there is no infrared signal detected in

IRDetectionTime period. It will report un-occupy.

IRDisableTime is the sampling period during IRDetectionTime (IRDisableTime are 30 seconds by default setting that PIR is off for first 70% of

the period; on for rest 30% of the period).

For example, after triggered, the PIR will turn off the infrared probe for 21 (30 * 70%) seconds to save the power, living objects within this period

will not be detected. PIR will re-open detection function after 21 seconds, if it detects living objects in this period, the IR delay time will be

extended for another 30 seconds till no infrared signal is detected and IRDetectionTime period is due and R718PQA will then report un-occupy

Note：IRDisableTime >=5 s, IRDetectionTime>= IRDisableTime

Default disabletime：15s detectiontime：1min

Example1:

While IRDetectionTime is 60 secs and IRDisableTime is 30 secs, no living creature is detected after triggered.

R718PQA will report un-occupy after 60 secs(IRDetectTime).

Example2:

While IRDetectionTime is 60 secs and IRDisableTime is 30 secs, living creature is detected during 25th sec.

R718PQA will restart IR detect procedure(IRDetectionTime).

No living creature is detected during next IRDetectionTime and R718PQA therefore report un-occupy.

Remarks:

Occupancy status (status =1) requires both reed switch and infrared to detect someone and interval between both less than 10 seconds.

7. Installation

This product comes with waterproof function.

When using it, the back of it can be adsorbed on the iron surface, or the two ends can be fixed to the wall with screws.

Note: To install the battery, use a screwdriver or similar tool to assist in opening the battery cover.

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

ER14505M 3.6V 2200mAh lithium thionyl chloride battery, the user can use a 33 ohm resistor to activate the battery for 1 minute to actively eliminate

8.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.
