1. Preface
Thank you for choosing Ursalink UC1114 LoRa Remote I/O. This user guide will present in detail
all the functions and features of the product. The UC1114 is designed for both industrial and
commercial applications and helps devices stay connected. The product should be used under
the guidance of this user guide, referring to parameters and technical specifications. The UC1114
is a compact, high-performance device that offers LoRaWAN connectivity for remote access and
easy management of machines and equipment over the cellular network.
We bear no liability for property loss or physically injury arising from abnormal or incorrect usage
of this product.
2. Introduction
Ursalink UC1114 is designed as a cost-effective industrial machine monitoring device that
monitors and controls up to 2 dry contacts and 2 drivable relay outputs.
With the aid of Ursalink UC1114, the alarm condition brings attention to engineering personnel
immediately. The output can be connected with an alarm indication device, such as a light or
horn.
The device can give immediate response to the status of both the input and output conditions. A
LoRa module is embedded in the Ursalink UC1114.
This user guide is intended to provide detailed technical specifications and explanations to
basic users as well as the technically-minded groups. It is a live document, and will be updated
from time to time. Please ensure that you have the latest version, by checking our website at:

3. Installation
3.1 Environment
Due to the product properties of the Ursalink UC1114, we STRONGLY advise that it should not be
installed in proximity to a variable speed drive or with any other electrically noisy equipment. DO
NOT install the Ursalink UC1114 into a metal enclosure unless an antenna is mounted on the
outside of the enclosure.

3.2 Power Supply
The Ursalink UC1114 has a terminal block interface where a power supply can be connected. The
power supply should have the following specifications:
Output Voltage: 12V nominal
Output Current: 0.5A
Installation:
A suitable power supply comes with the product.
For industrial applications, it is advised that the Ursalink UC1114 should be installed into its own
metal housing and be powered from a separate power supply (as opposed to sharing one with
other equipment) .
Please Note: While the Ursalink UC1114 has fairly rugged internal power supply circuitry, no
special provision for lightning protection is well in place. If the Ursalink UC1114 is used in an area
where thunderstorm is about to occur, it is advisable to use a commercially available lightning
suppressor (the same applies to inputs or outputs connected to wires longer than 2 or 3 meters).
The guarantee does not cover damage resulting from lightning strikes! The Ursalink UC1114 can
operate reliably from voltages in the range of 5 to 24 VDC.
3.3 Micro USB Port
The Ursalink UC1114 provides a micro USB port to connect to a PC via USB cable, which allows
the PC to configure the unit.

4.5 IF-THEN Behaviour Command
The Ursalink UC1114 is running with a number of defined behaviour commands. Each command
takes the form of an IF-THEN statement pair. You are thus able to select certain trigger conditions
to cause desired actions to be performed. The Ursalink UC1114 allows up to 8 separate behaviour
commands with some models.
Users can select time or input constraints for any IF-THEN statement pairs, so that an action will
only be triggered during certain period within a day, or only if certain input/output conditions are
met.
The user can enter the edit page by clicking , or delete the command by clicking .
4.5.1 Supported IF Condition
4.5.1.1 IF the Time Is ...
A command containing this IF condition will be triggered at a specific time every day within a
specified range of dates, or on every selected day of the week.
The user can choose the day of the week from:
The user can also set the time from 00:00 to 23:59 on a certain day.
4.5.1.2 IF Received a Specific Message
A command containing this IF condition will be triggered by certain message defined by users.

UC1114 User Guide
18
4.5.1.3 IF Input
A command containing this IF condition will be triggered if the selected input changed according
to the specified option.
The user can setup multiple combinations; however, input 1 and input 2 must be activated before
action is taken.
The logic options available includes:
•AND: ALL the selected signals become active or ANY selected signals become inactive
•OR: ANY selected signals become active or ALL the selected signals become inactive
Then the user can choose from the following options:
•Goes Active (Triggered on rising edge)
•Goes Inactive (Triggered on falling edge)
•Changes State (Triggered on rising or falling edge)
•Is Active (Triggered on high level)
•Is Inactive (Triggered on low level)
Thus, if the user chooses "Goes Active", then as soon as the specified input changes from inactive
to active, the command will be triggered. Also, it applies to the remaining options when the
preset conditions are met.
The user is also able to specify a "Continued time" for this command, which will not be allowed
to be triggered until it remains Active or Inactive longer than the time specified. Moreover, the
user can specify a "Lockout time" for this command. After the command has been triggered, it
will not be allowed to be triggered again until the time specified has elapsed.
When you set the time, you can choose the time unit:
msec: 0-86400000
sec: 0-86400
min: 0-1440
Only integers are allowed. You can't carry the decimal point.
Note：There are 3 single actions at most to be executed for a single trigger condition.

4.5.1.4 IF the Device Restarts
A command containing this IF condition will be triggered once the device has finished restarting.
4.5.2 Supported THEN Actions
4.5.2.1 THEN Change Output
A command containing this action will change the selected output according to specified actions.
The user can choose from the following actions:
•Will be activated
•Will be deactivated
•Will follow the input to change: When the triggering condition is the Input Changes State, you
can then select change state as the action.
If the user has configured:
➢"Delay Time", the selected output will be activated after the specified time.
➢"Duration", the output will remain current status for a certain period of time.
4.5.2.2 THEN Restart the Device
A command containing this action will restart the Ursalink UC1114 if the condition is met.

UC1114 User Guide
20
4.5.2.3 THEN Send a Custom Message
A command containing this action will send a custom text message defined via LoRaWAN if the
condition is met. Only letter, number, comma, period, separator, space and exclamation mark are
allowed in the message, and the maximum character length is 60.
4.6 Upgrade
Step 1: Connect Ursalink UC1114 to PC via micro USB port.
Step 2: Power on the Ursalink UC1114.
Step 3: Run the Ursalink ToolBox and go to "Upgrade".
Step 4: Click "Browse" and select the correct firmware file from the PC.
Step 5: Click "Upgrade" and the device will check if the firmware file is correct. If it’s correct, the
firmware will be imported to the device, and the device will reboot after upgrading is completed.
Note: Any operation on Ursalink ToolBox is not allowed during upgrading, otherwise the
upgrading will be interrupted, or even the device will be broken down.
Click "Reset", and the device will restore to the factory default settings.
