Installation

3.1 Connection
3.1.1 Power connection as stand-alone device
Please refer to following connections:

pin Name Description
J3.9 GND Negative power supply (BLACK)
J3.10 VDD Positive power supply range [10-36Vdc] (RED)
Power can also be supplied by USB.
3.1.2 Power connection with DIN rail option
Please refer to following connections:

Power supply:

Power can also be supplied by USB.
3.1.3 Antenna

The magnetic antenna must be positioned on ametal body. It should preferably be vertical and at least 30 cm away from other metal bodies. The installation must take place in a place where the Lo Ra WAN® signal coverage is good (SF=7 optimal, SF=12 weak). Use the provided clip to hold the antenna connector in place, as in the picture:

3.2 Analog inputs

Voltmetric (0-10V)

Caution: inputs are not galvanically isolated from each other.
3.3 Configuration

To deploy the sensor, use LoRaWEB online tool, to setup LoRa WAN® credentials and other preferences (only available for Windows®) :
LoRa WEB Tool (iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWeb)
Before connect the device the first time, please install LoRa Bridge applications and drivers: httfps://iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWcb/#/download
Validate your settings reading data after the write.
enginko provides, upon free registration, user manuals, javascript examples, downlink generator, uplink decoder, firmware updates and different tools :

3.4 System led

3.5 Firmware update
Save the new firmware file (.exe) on the PC, run the file, select the USB FW port and start the update:

and waiting for the end message.

Setup

4.1 Period
Period is the interval (in minutes) between one measure and the next one. The sensor sends one measures for every transmission. Value can be between 15 and 65535 minutes (default: 30 minutes).
Period interval can be set with LoRaWEB or with downlink command.
4.2 Thresholds

On the MCF-LW06010 is possible to set 4 thresholds for each channel:
Th+ = Threshold High Rising
Th- = Threshold High Falling
Tl+ = Threshold Low Rising
Tl- = Threshold Low Falling

When target values are rising and exceed the positive the sholds, the device sends an uplink with the the latest measure.
When values are falling below the negative thresholds, the device sends a new uplink with the latest measure.
Thresholds can be enabled, disabled and changed va USB with LoRa WEB or with downlinks:

4.3 Other settings
DST:
set to change DST (default: none).
Time sync uplink:
set to disable time synchronization request (default: enabled).

Normally sensor asks for a time sync at every power on (uplink starting with

1. or once a week. If no or wrong reply received, it will retry after 1 week.
   If not handled in the right way can generate unnecessary traffic on the network.
   Please check chapter 2.1. DATA FRAME FORMAT

Confirmed Uplinks:
set for unconfirmed uplinks (default: confirmed uplink).
Single join/day:
set for to allow only one join per day (default: multiple join allowed).
LED working:
Set OFF to turn off the diagnostic led.
USB:
Internal use.

Diagnostic

Press Check to see the analog values.

LoRaWAN network

The sensor is compliant with LoRaWAN® specification 1.0.2, regional 1.0.2b.

6.1 Activation
The device supports the following activations on a LoRa WAN® network:

1. NONE: sensor not activated
2. OTAA: the Join EUI and the App Key not setted, must be written to the device;
3. OTAA MCF88 : Over the air activation, fixed keys: Join EUI = 904e915000000002, App Key on request;
4. OTAA ENGINKO: Over the air activation, fixed keys: Join EUI = 904e915000000002, App Key on request;
5. ABP: requires writing to the device of NwkSkey, App Skey, DevAddr.

The device exits factory activated with NONE mode. On request devices can be shipped aleady activated.
Note: in OTAA App Key is write only, in reading the field will always be empty, even if set.

6.2 Other settings
Network settings:
please keep “Any” settings. Change it only if Objenious network is used (default_ any).
Network type:
LoRa syncword can be setted as “private”(0x12) instead “public” (0x34), butthe NS must be setted accordingly(default: public).
Band:
select the right LoRaWAN ® band settings accodingly to country requirements.

Passwords

The device can be protected by passwords, to avoid unauthorized persons to read data or modify parameters.
As default passwords are equal to 0.
Allowed values range from 0 to 999999999 (only numbers).
To change the passwords, set the new values with LoRaWEB:

To bring back the sensor to factory default and reset the passwords, a reset code must be requested to enginko (please provide the Dev EUI of the sensor when you ask for that code).

General configuration file

With LoRa WEB is possible to configure the device using an XML file, instead to manually adjust the parameters (for details about the file format please ask to enginko). This is very useful especially in case of multiple devices configuration.
With “Save” button an XML file with the actual configuration of the sensor will be generated. This is useful to store or clone the configuration, or to send it to enginko’s support if needed.

8.1 Multi devices configuration
With LoRa WEB is possible to configure many devices in an easy way.
For multi-configuration is needed at least one XML file with the parameters to set.
Settings on this file will be applied to all the sensors.
With an additional XLS file is possible to load different LoRa configuration parameters (Activation Type, App Key, App EUI, Net Key, Dev Address, Band, Private option) for each sensor, based on Dev EUI.
XLS is prevailing on the XML, so if both files are enabled, if the Dev EUI of the device matches one of the Dev EUIs in the XLS file, LoRa parameters will be setted from this one.

These configuration can be done in the in the Settings:

• Use of the general configuration by file;
• Use of the specific configuration by file.

For details on files format please ask to enginko.
