Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS is a sensor mainly used for outdoor environment through
wireless LoRa network. IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS device is battery powered and
designed for multiple mounting ways. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field
Communication) and can easily be configured by a smartphone or a PC software.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN® protocol.
LoRaWAN® enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while
consuming very little power. The user can obtain sensor data and view the
trend of data change through the Cloud or through the userʼsown Network
Server.
1.2 Features
- Up to 11kmcommunication range
- Easy configurationvia NFC
- Standard LoRaWAN® support
- Low power consumptionwith 4000mAhreplaceable battery

times.
Check On/Off Status| Quickly press the power button.| Light On: Device is on.
Light Off: Device is off.
Basic Configuration
IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS sensor can be monitored and configured via one of the following methods:
- MobileAPP (NFC);
- Windows software (NFC or Type-Cport).
In order to protect the security of sensor, password validation is required
when configuring via unused phone .Default password is 123456.
3.1 Configuration via Smartphone APP
Preparation:
- Smartphone (NFC supported)
- ToolboxAPP: download and install fromGoogle Play or Apple Store.
3.1.1 Read/Write Configuration via NFC
-
Enable NFC on the smartphoneand open“Toolbox”APP.
-
Attach the smartphone with NFC area to the device to read basic information.
Note: Ensure your smartphone NFC area and it is recommended to take off phone case before using NFC.
-
Change the on/off status or parameters, then attach the smartphone with NFC area to the device until the APP shows a successful prompt.
-
Go to“Device > Status” to tap“Read”and attach the smartphone with NFC area to the device to read real-timedata of sensor.
3.1.2 Template Configuration
Template settings only work for easy and quick device configuration in bulk.
Note: Template function is allowed only for sensors with the same model
and LoRa frequency band.
- Go to “Template” page on the APP and save current settings as a template.
- Attach the smartphone with NFC area to another device.
- Select the template file from ToolboxAPP and tap “Write”,keep the two devices close until the APP shows a successful prompt.
- Slide the template item to the left to edit or delete the template.
3.3 Configuration Examples
3.3.1 LoRa Channel Settings
The configuration of LoRaWAN® channel of IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS must match the
gatewayʼs. Refer to Appendix to check default channel settings of IOT-
S500TH/WD/ MCS.
Mobile APP Configuration:
Open Toolbox APP and go to “Device ->Setting->LoRaWAN Settings” to change the
frequency and channels.
Software Configuration:
Log in Toolboxand go to“LoRaWAN Settings ->Channel”to change frequency and
channels.
Note: If frequency is one of CN470/AU915/US915,you can enter the index of the
channel that you want to enable in the input box,making them separated by
commas.
Examples:
1,40: Enabling Channel 1 and Channel 40
1-40:Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40
1-40,60: Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40 and Channel 60
All: Enabling all channels
Null: Indicates that all channels are disabled
3.3.2
Alarm Settings
When water leakage sensor or magnet switch sensor is triggered, it will send
alarm message once by default. Toolboxallows users to change the alarm
reporting interval and reporting times.
Mobile APP Configuration:
Open Toolbox APP and go to“Device -> Setting -> Threshold Settings”to enable
the threshold settings and input the threshold. Software Configuration:
Log in Toolbox and go to“Device Settings ->Basic ->Threshold Settings”to
enable the calibration and input the calibration value.
Installation
- Attach IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS to the wall and mark the two holes on the wall. The connecting line of two holes must be a horizontal line.
- Drill the holes according to the marks and screw the wall plugs into the wall.
- Mount the IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS to the wall via mounting screws.
- Cover the mounting screws with screw caps.
- For leak detection senor, install the probe/cable to the place where liquid may leak. For magnet s witch sensor, install the magnet beside the door/window.
Note: For IOT-S500WD sensor, please ensure the metal pins of the probe are flat on the floor. The probe or cable of water leakage sensor should be placed in an area of concern where water from a leak would likely accumulate.
Cloud Management
IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS sensor can be managed by Cloud platform. Cloud is a
comprehensive platform that provides multiple services including device remote
management and data visualizationwith the easiest operation procedures.
5.1 Add a Gateway
-
Click“Enable” and choose mode in gateway web GUI.
Note: Ensure gateway has accessed the Internet.
-
Go to “My Devices” page and click“+NewDevices” to add gateway to Cloud via SN. Gateway will be added under “Gateways” menu.
1. Check if gateway is online.
5.2 Add IOT-S500TH/WD/MCS to Cloud
- Go to “Device->My Devices” and click “Add Device”. Fill in the SN of IOT-S500TH/ WD/MCS sensor and select associated gateway.
- After sensor is connected to Cloud, you could check the device information and data and create dashboard for it.
