1. Introduction
The RB02I is a wireless emergency push button. It is a Class A device following the standard LoRaWAN protocol.
Press the RB02I emergency button when there is an emergency, it will immediately send out the alarm to the gateway.
LoRa Wireless Technology:
LoRa is a wireless communication technology famous for its long-distance transmission and low power consumption.
Compared with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation technique greatly extend the
communication distance. It can be widely used in any use case that requires long-distance and low-data wireless
communications. For example, automatic meter reading, building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial
monitoring. It has features like small size, low power consumption, long transmission distance, strong 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
Data report configuration and sending period are as follows:
Min Interval
(Unit:second)
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

Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic:
Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange=0.1V
MaxTime MaxTime
Sleeping(MinTime) Sleeping(MinTime)
Note: MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless BatteryVoltageChange value.
Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.
MaxTime
Sleeping(MinTime) sleeping sleeping sleeping
0H 15th M 30th M 45th M 1H 2H
Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.
MaxTime
sleeping sleeping ...
0H 15th M 30th M 45th M 1H 1H 10th M 1H 25th M 1H 40th M 1H 55th M 2H 10th M
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. Installation
Put on the Waterproof Silicone Sleeve
1. Use the 3M double-sided tape that is provided with the
device. Attach one side of the tape to the bottom of the device
(RB02I) and the other side to the wall. (Please make sure the
surface of the wall is clear and smooth, so the device will not
fall off easily.)
To make the installation more secure, use self-purchased
screws to secure the device to the wall.
*Please wipe and clean the surface of the wall before using the
double-sided tape.
The 3M double-sided tape is pre-
cut with the size of the
bottom of the device (as shown in the left photo below.)
Please keep the device from metals or other electronics so the
transmission of the device will not be affected.
Applicable use cases for RB02I wireless emergency push
button include but are not limited to the following:
Home (bathrooms)
Schools
Nursing homes
Hospitals
Banks
Hotels
2. Insert the batteries in the battery holder and put the upper
cover back. Put on the included waterproof silicone sleeve to
avoid water splashing as shown in picture on the right.
*To open the device, use the snap-fit joint and gently remove
the upper cover.
3. When the emergency button is pressed, it will send an
"alarm" report.
If the emergency and alarm is disarmed when it comes to
the regular report interval, the device will send a "normal"
status report.
*The "alarm" report will be "1" and the “normal” report
will be "0."

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.
