**Sensor User Manual**
Introduction
1.1 What is LSN50V2-D20 LoRaWAN Temperature Sensor
The Dragino LSN50v2-D20 is a LoRaWAN Temperature Sensor for Internet of Things solution. It can be used to measure the temperature of air, liquid or object, and then upload to IoT server via LoRaWAN wireless protocol.
The temperature sensor used in LSN50v2-D20 is DS18B20, which can measure -55°C ~ 125°C with accuracy ±0.5°C (max ±2.0 °C). The sensor cable is made by Silica Gel, and the connection between metal probe and cable is double compress for waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-rust for long term usage.
LSN50v2-D20 supports temperature alarm feature, user can set temperature alarm for instant notice.
LSN50v2-D20 is powered by, it is designed for long term use up to 10 years. (Actually Battery life depends on the use environment, update period. Please check related Power Analyze report). Each LSN50v2-D20 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

How to use LSN50v2-D20?
2.1 How it works?
The LSN50v2-D20 is working as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A end node. Each LSN50v2-D20 is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA and ABP keys. User needs to input the OTAA or ABP keys in the LoRaWAN network server to register. Open the enclosure and power on the LSN50v2-D20, it will join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)
Here is an example for how to join the TTN LoRaWAN Server. Below is the network structure, in this demo we use DLOS8 as LoRaWAN gateway.
The DLOS8 is already set to connect to TTN . What the rest we need to is register the LSN50V2-D20 to TTN:
Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LSN50V2-D20.
Each LSN50V2-D20 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as
below:
Input these keys in their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:
Add APP EUI in the application
Add APP KEY and DEV EUI
Step 2: Power on LSN50V2-D20
Step 3: LSN50V2-D20 will auto join to TTN network via the LoRaWAN coverage by DLOS8. After join success, LSN50V2-D20 will start to uplink temperature value to server.
2.3 Uplink Payload
2.3.1 Payload Analyze
Normal Upload Payload:
LSN50v2-D20 use the same payload as LSn50v2 mod1, as below.
Battery:
Check the battery voltage.
Ex1: 0x0B45 = 2885mV
Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV
Temperature:
Example:
If payload is: 0105H: (0105 & FC00 == 0), temp = 0105H /10 = 26.1 degree
If payload is: FF3FH : (FF3F & FC00 == 1) , temp = (FF3FH – 65536)/10 = -19.3
degrees.
Alarm Flag & MOD:
Example:
If payload & 0x01 = 0x01 → This is an Alarm Message
If payload & 0x01 = 0x00 → This is a normal uplink message, no alarm
If payload >> 2 = 0x00 → means MOD=1, This is a sampling uplink message
If payload >> 2 = 0x31 → means MOD=31, this message is a reply message for
polling, this message contains the alarm settings. see this
link
for detail.
2.3.2 Payload Decoder file
In TTN, use can add a custom payload so it shows friendly.
In the page Applications –> Payload Formats –> Custom –> decoder to add the
decoder from:
http://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/LSN50v2-D20/Decoder/
2.4 Temperature Alarm Feature
LSN50V2-D20 work flow with Alarm feature.
User can use AT+18ALARM command to set the alarm low limit or high limit. Device will check the temperature every minute, if the temperature lower than low limit or greater than high limit. LSN50v2-D20 will send an Alarm packet base on Confirmed Uplink Mode to server.
Below is an example of the Alarm Packet.
2.5 Configure LSN50v2-D20
LSN50V2-D20 supports configuration via LoRaWAN downlink command or AT Commands.
➢ Downlink command instructions for different platform:
http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Use_Note_for_Server
➢ AT Command Access Instructions:
LINK
There are two parts of commands: General one and Special for this model.
2.5.1 General Configure Commands
These commands are to configure:
✓ General system settings like: uplink interval.
✓ LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.
These commands can be found on the wiki:
http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=End_Device_AT_Commands_and_Downlink_Commands
2.5.2 Sensor related commands:
Set Alarm Threshold:
➢ AT Command:
AT+18ALARM=min,max
⊕ When min=0, and max≠0, Alarm higher than max
⊕ When min≠0, and max=0, Alarm lower than min
⊕ When min≠0 and max≠0, Alarm higher than max or lower than min
Example:
AT+18ALARM=-10,30 // Alarm when < -10 or higher than 30.
➢ Downlink Payload:
0x(0B F6 1E) // Same as AT+18ALARM=-10,30
(note: 0x1E= 30, 0xF6 means: 0xF6-0x100 = -10)
Set Alarm Interval:
The shortest time of two Alarm packet. (unit: min)
➢ AT Command:
AT+ATDC=30 // The shortest interval of two Alarm packets is 30 minutes, Means
is there is an alarm packet uplink, there won’t be another one in the next 30
minutes.
➢ Downlink Payload:
0x(0D 00 1E) —> Set AT+ATDC=0x 00 1E = 30 minutes
Poll the Alarm settings:
Send a LoRaWAN downlink to ask device send Alarm settings.
➢ Downlink Payload:
0x0E 01
Example:
Explain:
➢ Alarm & MOD bit is 0x7C, 0x7C >> 2 = 0x31: Means this message is the Alarm settings message.
2.6 LED Status
LSN50-v2-D20 has an internal LED, it will active in below situation:
➢ LED will fast blink 5 times when boot, this means the temperature sensor is
detected
➢ After the fast blinks on boot, the LED will flash once which means device is
trying to send Join Packet to the network.
➢ If device successful join LoRaWAN network, the LED will be solid on for 5
seconds.
2.7 Button Function
Internal RESET button:
Press this button will reboot the device. Device will process OTAA Join to network again.
