1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Infrared motion sensor Vega Smart-MS0101 is designed to detect penetration into the
protected area.
The sensor alternately operates in two modes: «Guard» and «Neutral». In the «Guard»
mode, the device sends an alarm message to the LoRaWAN™ network when motion is
detected, after which it switches to the «Neutral» mode for a while. In the «Neutral» mode, the
sensor does not send alarm messages when motion is detected. If the movement in the
protected area has ceased, then the device switches back to the «Guard» mode after a certain
configurable period of time.
Auto-post time interval is setting up by the «Vega LoRaWAN configurator»application
and may vary from 1 to 60 minutes.
Vega Smart-MS0101 can be used to protect premises, buildings and structures, as well as
in Smart Home systems, built on LoRaWAN™ technology.
The sensor is powered by a CR123A 1400 mAh replaceable battery.
The sensor is configured via USB with special software «Vega LoRaWAN configurator».
Information for registering of the device in the LoRaWAN™ network is available via
software «Vega LoRaWAN configurator».

INITIAL STARTUP
Motion sensor is powered by the CR123A 3V 1400 mAh replaceable battery. You need to
insert the battery observing the polarity before start.
The sensor supports two activation methods in the LoRaWAN™ network - ABP and OTAA.
Select one of the methods using “Vega LoRaWAN Configurator” application (See part 4).
1. ABP. After pressing the start button, the device immediately starts working in the "Active"
mode.

2. OTAA. After pressing the start button, the device makes three attempts to connect to
the network within the set frequency band. After the activation request is confirmed by
LoRaWAN™ network, the device sends a signal and switches to the "Active" mode. If all attempts
fail, the sensor switches to the “Storage” mode.
To manually switch the device from the "Active" mode to the "Storage" mode, you can
use the long press of the start button (more than 5 seconds).
Before connecting the device, make sure that its registration data is
entered in the network - Device EUI, Application EUI and Application
Key for OTAA, or Device address, Application session key and Network
session key for ABP

SENSOR MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
The sensor must be installed in such a way that the probable penetration paths of the
intruder cross the central axis of the detection zone.
Recommended mounting height of the sensor is 2…2,5 m.
Do not install the sensor near objects that are powerful sources of heat or have the ability
to quickly change their temperature (fireplaces, stoves, air conditioners, radiators, etc.), in places
with strong air currents or the possibility of direct sunlight.
The wall on which the sensor is mounted should not be subjected to strong vibrations.
The presence in the detection zone of objects (curtains, screens, large objects, furniture,
plants, etc.) creates behind them "dead zones", the detection of the offender behind these
objects may not occur.

4 VEGA LORAWAN CONFIGURATOR
The "Vega LoRaWAN Configurator" application (hereinafter referred to as the
configurator) is intended for setting up the device via USB.
The configurator has two modes of operation - "Simple" and "Expert". In the "Simple"
mode, only basic settings are available. In the "Expert" mode the basic settings, advanced settings
and the ability to check the coverage area of the signal from the gateways are available. Next,
the work of the configurator is considered in the “Expert”mode.
INTERFACE OF THE APPLICATION
The "Vega LoRaWAN Configurator" application does not require the special installation.
When the executable file is launched, the window for working with the application appears (See
Fig. 4.1).
Fig. 4.1. The «Vega LoRaWAN Configurator»application interface.
The menu on the left allows you to switch between the “Simple”and “Expert”modes,
select the device model, connect to the device or disconnect from it, get and apply settings.
The application window contains three tabs –Device info, LoRaWAN™ settings and

the download is complete. The current version of the device firmware can be downloaded from
iotvega.com.
Network info - shows whether the device is connected to the LoRaWAN™ network and
its network address.
Join network button - launch the LoRaWAN™ network connection procedure with the
previously selected ABP or OTAA method. If the device is already connected to the network,
reconnection procedure will occurs.
Link check (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) - when pressed, the device sends a special
signal to the LoRaWAN™ network, in response to which the network informs it of the number
of gateways that received this signal and the signal quality. This button only works when the
device is connected to the network.
Device output (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) - monitoring the device status, all
events in real time are displayed.
“LORAWAN SETTINGS” TAB

In the EU_868 and RU_868 frequency bands, only 3 channels are active by default. The
device sends requests for connection to the network on this "join" channels. The remaining
channels that the device should use can be transferred by the LoRaWAN™ network server during
the device activation procedure (only OTAA).
If you select "Custom" in the "Region" field, you must manually specify the frequencies
that the device will use. To do this, click the "Edit" button, the channel frequency editing window
will appear:

Smart-MS0101 / User Manual

Revision №03 - 28.09.2018
This frequency band allows you to set up to 16 channels, as well as the frequency and
speed of the second receiving window.
The first three channels and the second receiving window parameters
are mandatory. Without these parameters the custom frequency band
will be considered empty.
Activation type –selecting ABP or OTAA device activation method.
Confirmed uplinks –when you choose "confirmed", the device will retry sending the
packet until it receives the server confirmation, or until the "Uplink number of transmission" is
over (see below).
ADR –this option activates the Adaptive Data Rate algorithm for automatic control of the
data transfer rate from the LoRaWAN™ network side. The higher the quality of the signal
received by the network, the higher the speed will be installed on the device. This option is
recommended only on permanently installed devices.
RX1 offset (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) –specifies the time between end of packet
transmission and first receiving window opening. The second receiving window always opens
after 1 second after the first.

Join accept delay 1 (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) –sets the time that the device
will open the first receiving window to receive confirmation for the join request from the
LoRaWAN™ network. The second window always opens after 1 second after the first.
Uplink number of transmission (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) –if the "Confirmed
uplinks" function is disabled, the device will simply send each packet as many times as specified
in this option. If "Confirmed uplinks" is enabled, the device will send packets until it receives a
confirmation or until it sends as many packets as specified in this option.

TX power (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) –the device RF transmitter power is
adjusted to this value when sending packets to the LoRaWAN™ network. This option can be
changed by the network server.
TX datarate (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) –the device transmission datarate at
which it will transfer packets to the LoRaWAN™ network. This speed can be changed by the
network server if the ADR algorithm is enabled.
