1. Introduction
R816B is a long-distance wireless socket device for Netvox ClassC type devices based on the LoRaWAN open protocol,
compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. The AppServer can be used to control the opening and closing of the external load of
the R816B, and the external load can also be controlled by the switch that comes with the R816B device itself. The current,
voltage, power and energy values of the current load can be viewed through the AppServer. R816B supports automatic
disconnection of load and over-current alarm.
LoRa wireless technology:
LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long-distance low-power consumption. Its spread-spectrum
modulation method greatly increases the communication distance compared with other communication methods, and can be
widely used in long-distance low-rate IoT wireless communication fields in various occasions. Such as automatic meter reading,
building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring and control. It has the characteristics of small
size, low power consumption, long transmission distance and strong anti-interference ability.
LoRaWAN:
LoRaWAN defines an end-to-end standard specification using LoRa technology to ensure interoperability between devices from
different vendors.

Max Interval
(Unit:second) Reportable Change Current Change≥ Reportable Change
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 two uplink packets including ON/OFF status, energy, over
current alarm, voltage, current and power.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
Default setting:
MaxTime: 0x0384 (900s)
MinTime: 0x0002 (2s)
// Mintime is recommended to set by default 2 seconds. Need to control to reduce frequent Report recommendations by
adjusting reportchange and Max Interval)
Current Change: 0x0064 (100mA)
Power Change: 0x0014 (20W)
Note:
1. The device reports the ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm first, and after 10 seconds reports the voltage, current
and power.
2. When happened the over-current alarm, it will disconnect the load and the network indicator will quickly flash about 25
times.
3. Press the switch button or receive the switch command: The device will be reported immediately.
4. The uplink data reported by the device is referenced by the Netvox LoraWAN Application Command document and

Remarks:
1. Compare the collected data with the last reported data. If the amount of data change is greater than ReportableChange, the
device will report based on the MinTime interval. If the data change is not greater than the last reported data, the device will
report based on the MaxTime interval.
2. For the energy consumption detection device, because the device is a constant power supply device, it is not recommended to
set the MinTime interval value too high in order to obtain the status information in real time. It is recommended to use the
default 2 seconds. If users need to control frequent report recommendations to adjust ReportableChange and MaxTime.
3. After the device sends a packet (regardless of whether the data has changed, such as pressing a button or the maximum time
is due), another MinTime / MaxTime calculation cycle is initiated.
6. Product Installation
This product does not have a waterproof function. After the screening is completed, please place it indoors.
Note:
The energy data of R816B is saved once every 10 seconds if the memory chip is AT24C02, once every 10 seconds for AT2402.
After power off, the data within 10 seconds will be gone.

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.
