1. Overview
1.1 Description
AM100 series is a compact indoor ambience monitoring sensor including motion, humidity,
temperature, light, TVOC, CO2, barometric pressure for wireless LoRa network. AM100 series is a
battery powered device and is designed to be wall-mounted. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field
Communication) and can easily be configured via a smartphone or a PC software.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN protocol. LoRaWAN enables
encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while consuming very little power. The user can
obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change through Ursalink Cloud or through the
user's own Network Server.
1.2 Features
Robust LoRa connectivity for indoor or HVAC environments
Integrated multiple sensors like temperature, humidity, light, air quality, etc.
Easy configuration via NFC
Visual display via E-Ink screen
Standard LoRaWAN support
Ursalink Cloud compliant
Low power consumption (about 1 year battery life)
Standard AA alkaline battery

There should not be any isolates or barriers in PIR detection range.
4.2 Installation Note
In order to ensure the best detection and LoRaWAN communication effect, it is recommended to
install AM100 series as follows:
There should not be any isolates or barriers in PIR and light detection range.
Do not mount the device where the temperature is below/above operating range and
temperature varies greatly.
Stay far away from any heat source or cold source like oven, refrigerator.
Do not mount the device close to where airflow varies greatly like windows, vent, fan and air
conditioner.
Do not mount the device upside down.
Do not place the device right to the window or door. If you have to, you’d better pull the
curtain.
It is recommended to install at least 1.5m high from floor.
