INTRODUCTION
This manual is designated for Vega Smart-MC0101 door and window sensor
(hereinafter – device, sensor) manufactured by Vega-Absolute OOO and provides
information on powering and activation procedure, control commands and functions of the
device.
This manual is targeted at specialists familiar with installation work fundamentals for
electronic and electrical equipment.
To provide the stable radio between the gateway and the end device it is
recommend avoiding the device installation in the places which are
barriers for the radio signal getting through like a reinforced floors and
walls, a basement, an underground facilities and wells, a metal case etc.
The necessary stage for the network deploying including a big quantity of
end devices is a radio planning work with nature experiments
Vega-Absolute OOO reserves the right to make changes to the manual related to the
improvement of equipment and software, as well as to eliminate typos and inaccuracies,
without prior notice.

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The door and window sensor can trigger both opening and closing doors and
windows. An alarm packet sent to the LoRaWAN network every time it is triggering. The
sensor can be used to protect premises, buildings, and structures, as well as in Smart Home
systems, building on LoRaWAN technology.
Sensors producing in four colors versions: black, brown, white, and gray.
Sensor contains two parts: the main part including all of electronics – there are a board,
a battery, the indicators, and Hall sensors, but the magnetic part contain only a magnet.
The sensor powered by a CR123A 1400 mAh replaceable battery.
The sensor configuring via USB with special software «Vega LoRaWAN Configurator».
COMUNICATION AND DATA COLLECTION ALGORITHM
The readings store in the device memory with a configurable period from 5 minutes to
24 hours. The stored readings transmit during the next communication session with the
LoRaWAN network.
The adjustable data transfer period can be from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Data
transferring in random point in time during set period. At the next communication session, the
device starts sending accumulated packets with readings, from the earliest to the latest.
With the "Confirmed uplinks" option turned on, the device will send the next packet
only after receiving a confirmation of the delivery of the previous one. If such confirmation
has not received after the fulfilled in the settings uplink number of transmissions, device
completes the communication session until the next one according to the schedule. In this
case, the device continues to collect data according to the data collection period and store it
in memory. Non-transmitted packets remain in the device memory until the next
communication session.
With the "Confirmed uplinks" option turned off, the device just sends all accumulated
packets to the network in order from the earliest to the latest. There are no checks of package
delivery in this mode. There are no non-transmitted messages in the device memory.
The internal clock is set automatically when device connected to the "Vega LoRaWAN
Configurator" via USB, also adjustable via LoRaWAN.
FUNCTIONAL
Vega Smart-MC0101 sensor is class A device (LoRaWAN classification) and has the
following features:

MOUNTING OPTIONS
Door and window sensor considers interdependent placement of two components:
- main part including all of electronics,
- magnet.
Device contain two Hall sensors located in two different places on a board. That allows
mounting device in two ways.
1. The magnet is located above the main part. With this placement, the Hall sensor 1
responds to the movement of the magnet.
Magnet is above,
