Introduction

R718TB is a wireless push-button device.
When people encounter danger and need emergency help, press the push button.
R718TB will immediately send an alarm message to the gateway. R718TB 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, the LoRa spread spectrum modulation method greatly increases to expand the communication distance. Widely used in long-distance, low-data wireless communications. For Examples, 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.

Set up Instruction

On/Off

indicator flashes once.
Turn off (Restore to factory setting)| ** Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds, and the green indicator flashes 20 times.
Power off| Remove Batteries.
Note:| 1.  Remove and insert the battery; the device is at off state by default.
**2.  On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid the interference of capacitor inductance and other energy storage components.
3.  The first 5 seconds after power-on, the device will be in engineering test mode.

Low Voltage Warning

Data Report

When the device is powered on, it will immediately send a version package Report and the report data with the voltage.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
Default setting:
MaxTime: Max Interval = 60 min = 3600s
MinTime: Max Interval = 60 min = 3600s
BatteryChange = 0x01 (Unit: 0.1v)
Note:

1. By default, it will detect the current-voltage every Min Interval.
   If there is special customization, the settings will be changed according to the customer’s requirements.

2. The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary.

3. The interval between two reports must be the minimum time.

4. Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

Data report configuration and sending period are as follows:

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 variation is greater than the ReportableChange value, the device reports according to the MinTime interval. If the data variation is not greater than the last data reported, the device reports according to the Maxime interval.
3. We do not recommend setting 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 the resulting data variation, button push, or Maxime interval, another cycle of MinTime/Maxime calculation is started.

Information about Battery Passivation

Many Netvox devices are powered by 3.6V ER14505 Li-SOCl2 (lithium-thionyl chloride) batteries that offer many advantages including low self-discharge rate and high energy density.
However, primary lithium batteries like Li-SOCl2 batteries will form a passivation layer as a reaction between the lithium anode and thionyl chloride if they are in storage for a long time or if the storage temperature is too high. This lithium chloride layer prevents rapid self-discharge caused by a continuous reaction between lithium and thionyl chloride, but battery passivation may also lead to voltage delay when the batteries are put into operation, and our devices may not work correctly in this situation.
As a result, please make sure to source batteries from reliable vendors, and the batteries should be produced within the last three months.
If encountering the situation of battery passivation, users can activate the battery to eliminate the battery hysteresis.
To determine whether a battery requires activation
Connect a new ER14505 battery to a 68ohm resistor in parallel, and check the voltage of the circuit.
If the voltage is below 3.3V, it means the battery requires activation.
How to activate the battery
a. Connect a battery to a 68ohm resistor in parallel
b. Keep the connection for 6~8 minutes
c. The voltage of the circuit should be ≧3.3V

Important Maintenance Instruction

Kindly pay attention to the following in order to achieve the best maintenance of the product:

• 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 a dusty or dirty environment. It might damage its detachable parts and electronic components.
• Do not store the device under excessive heat conditions. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
• Do not store the device in places that are too cold. 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 equipment can destroy internal circuit boards and delicate structures.
• Do not clean the device with strong chemicals, detergents, or strong detergents.
• Do not apply the device with paint. Smudges might block the device and affect the operation.
• Do not throw the battery into the fire, or the battery will explode. Damaged batteries may also explode.

All of the above applies to your device, battery, and accessories. If any device is not working properly, please take it to the nearest authorized service facility for repair.
