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.

5. Data Report
The device automatically sends a version package Report and a report data with the occupied status.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
Maximum time: Max Interval
Minimum time: Min Interval (by default, the current voltage value is detected every Min Interval)
Default reportchange:
Battery --- 0x01 (0.1V)
Occupancy alarm:
(Requires door magnet and infrared to detect someone at the same time)
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 minimum time
R718PQA default Max Interval = 15min, Min Interval = 15min
(if there is special custom shipment, the setting is changed according to customer requirements)
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:
Report Configuration Example:

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. Disabletime and Detectiontime
IRDisableTime is the sampling period while IRDetectionTime is detecting period.
Both IRDisableTime and IRDetectionTime are 30 seconds in default.
To save power, IR detection will be turned off for first 70% of IRDisableTime and turned on for rest 30% of IRDisableTime.
If living creature is detected during the rest 30% of IRDisableTime, the IR delay time will be extended for another IRDetectionTime till no infrared signal is detected.
If no living creature is detected during IRDetectionTime, RB11E will report un-occupy along with other sensor status, such as temperature,illumination, etc.
Example1:
While IRDetectionTime is 60 secs and IRDisableTime is 30 secs, no living creature is detected after triggered.
RB11E 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.
RB11E will restart IR detect procedure(IRDetectionTime).
No living creature is detected during next IRDetectionTime and RB11E therefore report un-occupy.
Remarks:
Occupancy status (status =1) requires both door magnet and infrared to detect someone
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.
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.
• Do not store in a 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.
