1. Introduction

The R718G is a Wireless Light Sensor for Netvox ClassA type devices based on the LoRaWAN

open protocol and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. It can detect illuminance anywhere,

ex. sunlight, outdoor area.

LoRa Wireless Technology:

LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long distance and low power

consumption. Compared with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation

method greatly increases to expand the communication distance. Widely used in long-distance,

low-data wireless communications. For example, automatic meter reading, building automation

equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring. Main features include small size, low

power consumption, transmission distance, anti-interference ability and so on.

LoRaWAN:

LoRaWAN uses LoRa technology to define end-to-end standard specifications to ensure

interoperability between devices and gateways from different manufacturers.

3. Main Features

Compatible with LoRaWAN protocol.

Powered by 2 x ER14505 3.6V LithiumAA battery

Illuminance detection (Range: 3~65000 Lux / 3~130000Lux / 3-220000Lux)

IP rating IP65 / IP67 (optional)

Compatible with LoRaWANTM Class A

Frequency hopping spread spectrum

Configuration parameters can be configured via a third-party software platform, data can be read

and alerts can be set via SMS text and email (optional)

Applicable to third-party platforms: Actility/ThingPark, TTN, MyDevices/Cayenne

Improved power management for longer battery life

Battery Life:

⁻Please refer to web: http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html

⁻At this website, users can find battery life time for variety models at different configurations.

1. Actual range may vary depending on environment.

2. Battery life is determined by sensor reporting frequency and other variables.

4. Set up Instruction

On/Off

Power on Insert batteries. (users may need a flat blade screwdriver to open)

Turn on Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds till the green indicator flashes once.

Turn off

(Restore to factory setting)

Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till green indicator flashes for 20

times.

Power off Remove Batteries.

Note

1. Remove and insert the battery; the device is at off state by default.

2. On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid the interference of

capacitor inductance and other energy storage components.

3. At 1st -5th second after power on, the device will be in engineering test mode.

Network Joining

Never joined the network

Turn on the device to search the network to join.

The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success

The green indicator remains off: fail

Had joined the network

(not at factory setting)

Turn on the device to search the previous network to join.

The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success

The green indicator remains off: fail

Fail to join the network

(when the device is on)

First two mins: wake up every 15 seconds to send request.

After two mins: enter sleeping mode and wake up every 15 minutes to send request.

Note: Suggest to remove batteries if the device is not used to save power.

Suggest to check the device verification information on the gateway

or consult your platform server provider.

Function Key

Press and hold for 5 seconds

Restore to factory setting / Turn off

The green indicator flashes for 20 times: success

The green indicator remains off: fail

Press once The device is in the network: green indicator flashes once and sends a report

The device is not in the network: green indicator remains off

Sleeping Mode

The device is on and in the

network

Sleeping period: Min Interval.

When the reportchange exceeds setting value or the state changes: send a data report

according to Min Interval.

The device is on but not in

the network

First two mins: wake up every 15 seconds to send request.

After two mins: enter sleeping mode and wake up every 15 minutes to send request.

Note: Suggest to remove batteries if the device is not used.

Suggest to check device verification on gateway.

Low Voltage Warning

Low Voltage 3.2V

5. Data Report

Data report configuration and sending period are as following:

Min Interval

(Unit:second)

Max Interval

(Unit:second) Reportable Change Current Change≥

Reportable Change

Current Change＜

Reportable Change

Any number between

1~65535

Any number between

1~65535 Can not be 0. Report

per Min Interval

Report

per Max Interval

The device will immediately send a version packet report along with an uplink packet including illuminance

and battery voltage.

The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.

Default setting:

MaxTime : Max Interval = 15 min = 900s

MinTime : Min Interval = 15 min = 900s

BatteryChange: 0x01 (0.1V)

IlluminanceChange:0x0032 (50 Lux)

Illuminance detection range:

0x00 3~65000 Lux (default)

0x01 3~130000 Lux

0x02 3-220000 Lux

Note:

The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary.

The interval between two reports must be the minimum time.

Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver

http://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.
