Introduction

R309 is a long-distance wireless wearable emergency button device for Netvox ClassA type devices based on LoRaWAN open protocol, which also has an inactivity detection function and is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol.

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 and 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.

Data Report

After power on, the device will immediately send a version packet and an attribute report data. The device sends data according to the default configuration before any other configuration.

Default setting:

• Report MaxTime: 0x0E10 (3600s)
  • Report MinTime: 0x0E10 (3600s) // The current voltage value is detected every Min Interval by default
• Battery Voltage Change: 0x01 (0.1V)
  • Shock Sensor Sensitivity: 0x14 (20) // Range: 0x00 to 0xFE ; 0xFF: Disable shock sensor
• No Active Alarm Time: 0x003C (60 min)
  • Start Hour: 0x00 (00:00 AM) Range: 0x00 to 0x17 (00:00~23:00)
  • End Hour: 0x06 (06:00 AM) Range: 0x00 to 0x17 (00:00~23:00)

Emergency button triggering:

By default, press the button briefly. After the red light flashes, release the button to report an alarm

• Alarm status: 1 Normal state: 0

Long time inactivity detection function

R309 series has a long-time inactivity detection function. When the vibration sensor on R309 detects the inactivity state has remained for more than the set time (default: 1 hour), it will report an inactivity detection alarm.
At the same time, R309 supports the setting of a specific time range to turn off the long-time inactivity detection alarm function, which is used to turn off the inactivity detection function at night (default: 00:00-06:00). The time synchronization will be automatically performed when the device is powered on. If the gateway does not support the DeviceTimeReq function, you can command SetSyncTimeReq to synchronize the time) Configuring StartHour and EndHour to the same value can disable long-time inactivity detection function. For example, when the StartHour and EndHour are configured to be “00” or the ShockSensorSensitivity is configured to be “FF”, the long-time inactivity detection function is disabled.

Note:

1. The pressing time of the alarm button can be configured through the command (0~4s)
2. The cycle of the device sending the data report is according to the default.
3. The interval between two reports must be the MinTime.
   The device reported data parsing please refer to Netvox LoraWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://cmddoc.netvoxcloud.com/cmddoc

Data report configuration and sending period are as following

Example of ReportDataCmd

FPort: 0x06

Tips

1. Battery Voltage:
   The voltage value is bit 0 ~ bit 6, bit 7=0 is normal voltage, and bit 7=1 is low voltage.
   Battery=0x9E, binary=1001 1110, if bit 7= 1, it means low voltage.
   The actual voltage is 0001 1110 = 0x1E = 30, 30*0.1v =3.0v

2. Version Packet:
   When Report Type=0x00 is the version packet, such as 01D3000A01202207200000, the firmware version is 2020.07.20

3. Data Packet:
   When Report Type=0x01 is data packet.

Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic

Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange=0.1V

Note:
MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless BatteryVoltageChange value

Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.

Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.

Notes:

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 change value 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.

Precautions for Outdoor Installation

The R309 is IP67 rated device, which means it provides protection against dust and water immersion up to 1m. The test includes water immersion at a depth of at least 1m for 30 minutes or more. The IP67 rated products should be used in indoor environment and sheltered outdoor environment. High water pressure, high temperature, excessive humidity, long-time exposure to sunlight and rain could damage the device

Important Maintenance Instruction

The device is a product with superior design and craftsmanship and should be used with care. The following suggestions will help you use the warranty service effectively

• Keep the device dry. Rain, moisture, or any liquid might contain minerals and thus corrode electronic circuits. If the device gets wet, please dry it completely.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty environment. It might damage its detachable parts and electronic components.
• Do not store the device under high-temperature conditions. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
• Do not store in excessive low-temperature places. Otherwise, when the temperature rises to normal temperature, moisture will form inside which will destroy the board.
• Do not throw, knock or shake the device. Rough handling of device can destroy internal circuit boards and delicate structures.
• Do not clean the device with strong chemicals or detergents.
• Do not apply the device with paint. Smudges might block in the device and affect the operation.
• Do not throw the battery into the fire to prevent the battery from explosion. Damaged batteries may explode.

All the above suggestions apply equally to your device, batteries, and accessories. If any device is not operating properly, please take it to the nearest authorized service facility for repairing.
