1. Introduction

The R718PG 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.

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 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.

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.

Low Voltage Warning

5. Data Report

Data report configuration and sending period are as following:

Min Interval

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:

0 ~ 157000 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://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

Note:

1) The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval.

When it is sleeping, it does not collect data.

2) The data collected is compared with the last data reported. If the data variation is greater

than the ReportableChange value, the device reports according to MinTime interval. If the

data variation is not greater than the last data reported, the device reports according to

MaxTime interval.

3) We do not recommend to set the MinTime Interval value too low. If the MinTime Interval is

too low, the device wakes up frequently and the battery will be drained soon.

4) Whenever the device sends a report, no matter resulting from data variation, button pushed

or MaxTime interval, another cycle of MinTime/MaxTime calculation is started.

6. Installation

This product comes with waterproof function. When using it, the back of it can be adsorbed on the

iron surface, or the two ends can be fixed to the wall with screws.

Note:

Please do not disassemble the device unless it is required to replace the batteries.

Do not touch the waterproof gasket, LED indicator light, function keys when replacing the batteries.

Please use suitable screwdriver to tighten the screws (if using an electric screwdriver, it is

recommended to set the torque as 4kgf) to ensure the device is impermeable.

Light Sensor (R718PG) is suitable for the

following scenarios:

⚫Family

⚫School

⚫Storage room

⚫Hospital

⚫Bar

⚫Stairs

⚫Agricultural greenhouse

To detect the illumination value.

1. Light Sensor（R718PG）has a built-in

magnet (see Figure 1 below),When

installed, the back of it can be adsorbed on

the iron surface, or the two ends can be

fixed to the wall with screws (should be

purchased) to secure the unit to a wall or

other surface (see Figure 2 below).

Note

Do not install the device in a metal

shielded box or in an environment with

other electrical equipment around it to

avoid affecting the wireless transmission of

the device.

2. Compare the illumination value detected

by the illumination sensor with the set

illumination value. The detected value

exceeds the set value (default 50 Lux), the

currently detected illumination value is

sent.
