INTRODUCTION
This manual is designated for Vega Smart-MS0101 motion sensor (hereinafter –device,
sensor) manufactured by Vega-Absolute LLC 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

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
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. There is an option of message sending
when the device switched to the “Guard” mode (configurable through the «Vega LoRaWAN
Configurator»)
The device arming 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 adjustable data transfer period can be from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Data
transferring in random point in time during set period.
The internal clock is set automatically when device connected to the "Vega LoRaWAN
Configurator" via USB.

COMUNICATION AND DATA COLLECTION ALGORITHM
The device forming a data packet with a configurable period from 5 minutes to 24
hours. The data saving in device memory and transmitting during the next communication
session with the LoRaWAN network.
If there is no alarm mode, then 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.
When alarm situation appears, the device forming alarm packet and transferring it
immediately.
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 form packets according to the communication 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.

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.
Place the CR123A
battery in the

2. OTAA. After pressing the start button, the device makes three attempts to connect to
the network within the set frequency plan. 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 will continue to accumulate data and will attempt to connect to the
network every 6 hours.
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

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 having 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.

“DEVICE INFO” TAB
The "Device info" tab displays information about the device, its current status, and also
the data needed to register the device in the LoRaWAN™ network.
ABP info - displays the data necessary to register the device in the LoRaWAN™ network
with ABP method (Activation By Personalization).
OTAA info - the data required to register the device in the LoRaWAN™ network with
OTAA method (Over The Air Activation) is displayed.
Key management (not displayed in the "Simple" mode) - allows you to change the factory
keys to register the device on the network, and reset the keys back to the factory settings.
Device info - the configurator reads information about the device model, its firmware
and automatically corrects the device's time when connected to it.
Update firmware - allows you to select the firmware file from your computer's hard drive
and load it into the device. The device will automatically disconnect from the configurator
when 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

“LORAWAN SETTINGS” TAB
The "LoRaWAN Settings" tab allows you to configure various parameters of the LoRa
network.
Region - allows you to select one of installed frequency plans or specify a custom
frequency plan. Custom frequency plan is EU-868 based.
In the device frequency plan, only those channels are active by default, on which
sending requests for connection to the network (join channels). The remaining channels (that
the device should use) can be transferring 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 №07 - 03 October 2019
This frequency plan 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 plan
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).
If you choose to send packets without confirmation, the modem will
not know whether the packet delivered or not
ADR –this option activates the Adaptive Data Rate algorithm for automatic control of
the data transfer rate from the LoRaWAN™ network server 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.
