1. Introduction
RA0716_R72616_RA0716Y is a ClassA type device based on the LoRaWAN open protocol of
Netvox and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol.
RA0716_R72616_RA0716Y can be connected to a variety of sensors. A variety of sensor
combinations are required.
As detectors for PM2.5, temperature and humidity, the values collected by the sensor are reported 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.

Restore to Factory Setting
Description
RA0716_R72616_RA0716Y has the power-down save network information memory
function.
This feature is turned off by default, that is, it will be re-joined every time it is powered
back on.
It can be turned on by the ResumeNetOnOff command.
At this time, each time the power is rewritten, the last networking information will be
recorded (including saving the network address information assigned to it, etc., if users
want to join a new network, they need to perform a factory reset operation before that.),
will not re-join.
Operation 1. Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds to release and the LED flashes 20 times.
2. The device automatically restarts to start re-join.

5. Data Report
The device will immediately send a version packet report along with an uplink packet including
temperature, humidity, voltage and PM2.5 value.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
ReportMaxTime:
RA0716 / RA0716Y is 180s
R72616 is 900s (subject to factory settings)
Value must be greater than ReportMinTime ≧ ReportType count *ReportMinTime + 10 ,units: seconds
ReportMinTime: 30s;
ReportChange: 0;
ReportType count = 1;
Note:
(1) The device report interval will be programmed base on the default firmware which may vary.
(2) The interval between two reports must be the Maxtime
(3) ReportChange is not supported by RA0716_R72616_RA0716Y (Invalid configuration)
(4) Report cycle will be based on ReportMaxTime period when sending data packet (beginning to
the end of the first data as a period).
(5) Data packet: temperature,humidity,voltage and PM2.5
(6) It would take about 35 seconds for the PM2.5 sensor to sample and process the collected PM2.5
value after being powered
(7) The device also supports Cayenne's TxPeriod cycle configuration instructions. Therefore, the
device can also perform a report according to the cycle time of the TxPeriod value; and
whether the report period is ReportMaxTime or TxPeriod will be depending on which cycle
time is configured last time;
(8) It would take about 35 seconds for the PM2.5 sensor to sample and process the collected PM2.5
value if you were to manually trigger the device by pressing the button, please be patient.

7. 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.
