(2) If R311FC had been joined into a LoRa network, remove and insert the batteries; the green
indicator will stay on for 5 seconds to show it joins into the network.
4.3 Function Key
(1) Press and hold function key for 5 seconds to reset to factory setting. After restoring to
factory setting successfully, the green indicator will flashes quickly 20 times.
(2) Press function key; the green indicator will flash once and the device will send a data report.
4.4 Data Report
When the device is turned on, it will immediately send a version package.
Data will be reported once per hour by default setting.
Maximum time: 3600s
Minimum time: 3600s (Detect the current voltage value every 3600s by default setting)
Default reportchange:
Battery ---- 0x01 (0.1V)
Remarks:
1. The device periodically sends data according to the maximum time. The data content is:
R311FC current device status;
2. R311FC device will only report according to the minimum time when the battery voltage changes.
R311FC vibration alarm:
The device detects sudden movement or vibration, and the quiescent state changes. The device waits
for a certain period of time (DeactiveTime) to enter the quiescent state and calculate the duration,
sends a report of duration of vibrations, and restarts the calculation for the next detection. If the
vibration continues to occur within (DeactiveTime), the duration will be continuously calculated till
it enters the quiescent state.
Can sens downlink command through the gateway to change the device type, active vibration
threshold and DeactiveTime.
The Active vibration threshold range is 0x0003-0x00FF (default is 0x0003);
DeactiveTime is 0x01-0xFF (default is 0x05);
R311F DeviceType(1Bytes,0x01_ R311FA,0x02_ R311FC,0x03_ R311FC), the default value is the

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 change value 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.

5. Restore to Factory Setting
R311FC saves data including network key information, configuration information, etc. To restore to
factory setting, users need to execute below operations.
1. Press and hold function key for 5 seconds till the green indicator flashes and then release; LED
flashes quickly 20 times.
2. R311FC will be turned off mode after restoring to factory setting.
6. Sleeping Mode
R311FC is designed to enter sleeping mode for power-saving in some situations:
(A) While the device is in the network →the sleeping period is Min Interval. (During this
period, if the reportchange is larger than setting value, it will wake up and send a data report).
(B) When it is not in the network →R311FC will enter sleeping mode and wake up every 15
seconds to search a network to join in the first two minutes. After two minutes, it will wake up
every 15 minutes to request to join the network.
If it’s at (B) status, to prevent this unwanted power consumption, we recommend that users
remove the batteries to power off the device.
7. Low Voltage Alarming
The operating voltage threshold is 2.4V. If the voltage is lower than 2.4V, R311FC will send a
low-power report to the Lora network.
