Product Introduction

Overview

GS301 is a 4-in-1 LoRaWAN® bathroom odor detector to detect ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas according to electrochemical principle. GS301 is also able to detect temperature and humidity to fully aware of the environment of bathrooms. When the NH3 or H2Sgas  concentration reaches the preset threshold, the detector will trigger both LED light alarm and buzzer to notify people timely to ventilate, which is an important part in smart bathroom solution.

Apart from local alarms, GS301 can also report the sensor data and alarm messages remote lyusing LoRaWAN® technology. Integrating with Milesight LoRaWAN® gateway and Milesight IoT Cloud solution, users can monitor all the sensor data and control the deice remotely and flexibly. Moreover, GS301 supports Milesight D2D to enable ultra-low latency control without gateways.

Advanced Settings

Calibration Settings

ToolBox supports numerical calibration for temperature and humidity. Go to Device > Settings > Calibration Settings of ToolBox App to type the calibration value and save, the deice will add the calibration value to raw value.
Calibration Settings

Threshold Settings

Go to Device > Settings > Threshold Settings of ToolBox App to enable the threshold settings and input the threshold. When one of NH3 and H2S exceeds threshold, GS301 will report the threshold value according to the Exceed Threshold Reporting Interval. When both values are below the threshold, it will also report the current data once.
Note: When temperature is higher than 35°C, the threshold alarm will stop working until the temperature is back to 35°C or below.
Threshold Settings

Milesight D2D Settings

Milesight D2D protocol is developed by Milesight and used for setting up transmission among Milesight devices without gateway. When D2D setting is enabled, GS301 can work as the Milesight D2D Controller device to send commands to trigger Milesight D2D agent devices.

  1. Configure RX2 datarate and RX2 frequency in LoRaWAN® settings, it is suggested tochangethe default value if there are many LoRaWAN® devices around.

  2. Go to Device > Settings > D2D Settings to enable D2D function, and define an unique Milesight D2D key to be the same as Milesight D2D agent device. (Default Milesight D2DKey: 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823).
    Milesight D2D Settings

  3. Define a 2-byte hexadecimal control command (0x0000 to 0xffff). GS301 will send the control command to correspond Milesight D2D agent devices according to the conditions. For abnormal odor, it will send D2D command when one of NH3 or H2S exceeds the value; for normal odor, it will send D2D command when both NH3 and H2S equals or are below the values.
    Note: When temperature is higher than 35°C, Milesight D2D will stop working until the temperature is back to 35°C or below.

Installation

Locations to avoid

  • In a area expect for the operating temperature or larger temperature difference;
  • Damp or very humid location expect for operating humidity (0 to 95%);
  • The place close to heat source and even sunlight;
  • In any outdoor places;
  • Dusty or dirty environments may block the air inlets;
  • Behind metal objects and obstacles which affect the LoRaWAN® transmission;
  • The place with lots of electromagnetic interfaces;
  • The place where strong vibration may happen or easy to be subjected to physical shock;
  • Next to a door or window or any air ventilation openings like ventilation fans, bents, etc;
  • The places spraying alcohol, perfume, fresheners, hair spray, gasoline, paint and other aerosols.

Installation Steps

  1. Take off the mounting bracket on the back of the device, drill 2 holes on the wall according to the wall mounting bracket, and then fix the wall plugs into the wall. It’s suggested to install the device in the height of human breath which is a way from ground about 4 to 6 feet.

  2. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall plugs with screws, and note the bracket should not be installed upside down.
    Installation Steps

  3. Hang the device to the bracket.

Detector Maintenance

  • The working life of the detector is 3 years, remember to replace the device after then.
  • Avoid exposing the device to NH3 and H2S with high concentrations over a long period time, or it may damage the device and decrease the performance.
  • The newly decorated or re-decorated room should be ventilated for some time before installing the detector.
  • To ensure the air inlets are not blocked, wipe the device with a clean dry cloth, do not use a very wet cloth, alcohol, harsh chemicals or detergents which may damage the detector.
  • Do not paint or cover the device, which may block the air inlets and interface.
  • Do not modify, disassemble, strike or crush the device, which will cause the fault alarms.
  • During the transportation and storage, keep out of direct sunlight, keep the temperature within 35°C and not more than 55°C, and keep the humidity not below 15%RH.
