Product Details

User Instruction

Before turn on, please make sure you connect with LoRa antenna, and battery is well installed. If the battery is empty, please change the same type Li- battery.

Turn on/off
The equipment adopts waterproof keys for easy deployment. By default, the system will automatically enter the configured wait mode after startup, and the timeout is 60 seconds. If the sensor receives a wireless signal within 60 seconds, the wait time is automatically reset. If there is no wireless data for 60 seconds, it will automatically enter the normal operation mode. In this way, it is convenient for the equipment to carry out factory production test and parameter wireless configuration.

Indicator
The device contains a dual color (red and green) LED indicator.
Red: Indicates that the key is pressed.
Green: Indicates the sending instruction or the configuration mode.

Wireless Configuration Indicator
When turn on the device, sensor is on congifuration mode, led light is green.

Sending indicator
When the device send data, led light change from green to turn off, that means data has been send successfully.

Wireless Configuration Mode
When turn on the device, sensor is on configuration mode, led light is green for 60 seconds. You can use LoRa Dongle for wireless configuration, here below you can find the instruction:
http://doc.rejeee.com/web/#/32?page_id=449

Antenna
The equipment antenna interface adopts standard SMA, with the specification of external thread and internal hole. When installing, pay attention to avoid metal and strong interference equipment. If the installation environment is poor, it is recommended to use a sucker antenna with feeder for installation.

Data Uploading
When turn on the device, the sensor send data immediatly When the data is exceeding the caliation data, the sensor send data immediatly. Sensor heart beacon, sending data periodically

Data Configuration

You can use USB dongle for data configuration, and here is the instruction SensorTool The configutation mainly include two parts: Sensor parameter: Data sending peroid, data collecting peroid, calibration LoRa parameter: like SF, RX/TX Freq etc.

Data check peroid
The default check peroid is 10 seconds and minimum is 1 seconds, max peroid is 65553 seconds. The shorter peroid, the more sensitive the response, otherwise, the power consumption will increase.

Data uploading peroid
The default data uploading peroid is 600 seconds(e.g 10 mins, which means sensor heartbeacon), For example, in a constant liquid level environment, that is, data is reported every 10 minutes, and this parameter can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

Calibration
The default calibration is 0. For special customized projects, when reporting the data pressure value, the user can modify the calibration value as required. Negative values are supported, unit is Pa

Viriation
The purpose of design variation is to support the equipment to report on a periodic basis, and to judge the variation according to the sampling period. When the sampling data and the last sent data exceed the change amount, it is reported immediately without waiting for the reporting cycle time. In order to support rapid response to the measured object. The internal default minimum change of liquid level equipment is designed as 1mA. If the system default change is not configured (i.e. 0), the internal logic judgment is based on 1mA as the change.

See as below:

Connect to LoRaWAN Network

SL711 water level sensor is based on standard LoRaWAN Class A/C, so you can connect to any LoRaWAN network through OTAA or ABP. On the package of device, you can find information as below, with this information, you can connect to any LoRaWAN server.

Here below take TTN as an example about how to connect the device to TTN server, please make sure to choose manually and the right frequency plan as below:

Data Configuration
Normally customer only needs to configure the following information under LoRaWAN：

• Uplink Period: Data uploading Period, that means sensor collect data and send to gateway
• Check Period: Data collecting period, that means sensor collect data but not upload
  

Wireless data format

The device support both LoRaWAN and non LoRaWAN.

** Head| Device ADDR| Control| Package No.| TLV(Refer to Type)| …| TLV(Refer to Type)| CRC16=Head Sens DataN

Sensor Data use TLV（Type+Length+Value),in order to save bandwidth and power consumption (i.e., save bytes), the length field is intentionally omitted for the basic types defined in this agreement document.

Sensor Data Format
Device information（0x00）

Sensor data（0x03）

In order to unify the terminal firmware and adapt different range sensors, the liquid level equipment transmits and reports the actual sampling value (every 1mV is equivalent to the corresponding current value of 0.01mA)。

Feature test

Standby power

Power while trun off

Single TX power
Example: Default SF9, Transmission action current power consumption, generally 140mA (depending on antenna matching, about 120~140mA). The test is performed in poor days.

Simple calculation method: duration is about 0.2s, power consumption=140 * 0.2s=78uAh.

CRC example

1. static uint16_t get_crc16(uint16_t inData, uint16_t outData) {
2. outData = (outData >> 8) | (outData << 8);
3. outData ^= inData;
4. outData ^= (outData & 0xff) >> 4;
5. outData ^= outData << 12;
6. outData ^= (outData & 0xff) << 5;
7. return outData;
