Low Voltage	2.4V

Data Report

After the device is powered, it will immediately send a version package and an attribute report data that reports the current status of the object and the raw data of infrared range.
The device sends data according to the default configuration before any other configuring.

Default Setting
Maximum time: 3600s
Minimum time: 3600s (By default, the current is detected every MinTime.) Battery: 0x01 (0.1V)
OnDistanceThreshold :0xC409 little-endian (2500)

Distance Threshold value is used little-endian;
When you need configure distance threshold default setting, please change to little-endian, for example 2500(Hex) =9C4(Dec) is big-endian and 0xC409 is little-endian

Note:

The cycle of the device sending the data report is according to the default.
The interval between two reports must be the MinTime.
If there are special customized shipments, the settings will be changed according to customer’s requirement.

The device reported data parsing please refer to Netvox LoraWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index

Determining the status of the object

The raw data of detection of infrared ranging is greater than the OnDistanceThreshold parameter setting value, the status would be 1, indicating the presence of the object.
The raw data of detection of infrared ranging is smaller than the OnDistanceThreshold parameter setting value, the status would be 0, indicating the absence of the object

Threshold setting instructions

First of all, fix the location of the device.
When first detection appears no object, the device detects RawSenseData (infrared ranging data), assuming A (2400)
Then detect again appears there is object, the device detects RawSenseData (infrared ranging data), assuming B (4000)
The range of Threshold(X) is set: A（2400）< X < B（4000）, it would recommend to take a value in the middle of range.

Note: T he RawSenseData value has no unit and is a signal value of a distance. The closer the device is to the detected object, the larger the value; The farther the device is to the detected object, the smaller the value.

Data report configuration and sending period are as following:

Min Interval (Unit:second)| Max Interval (Unit:second)| Reportable Change| Current Change≥ Reportable Change| Current Change＜ Reportable Change
---|---|---|---|---
Any number between 1~65535| Any number between 1~65535| Can not be 0.| Report per Min Interval| Report per Max Interval

Notes:

The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval. When it is sleeping, it does not collect data.
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.
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.
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.

Installation

Remove the 3M release paper on the back of the device and attach the device to the smooth wall (please do not stick it to the rough wall to avoid falling off after a longtime usage).
Note
- Wipe the wall surface before installation to avoid dust on the wall surface that affect the effect of the paste.
- Do not install the device in a metal shielded box or other electrical equipment around it to avoid affecting the wireless transmission of the device.
According to the situation of different paper boxes, choose the appropriate installation position. Take the large roll paper box as an example, as the right figure.
The status bits for judging whether there is toilet paper are as follows:

Installation 1

A. The raw data of infrared distance measurement (RawSenseData) is greater than the setting value of parameter –OnDistanceThreshold. The status bit is 1 indicating that there is toilet paper.
B. The raw data of infrared distance measurement (RawSenseData) detection is less than or equal to the setting value of parameter — OnDistanceThreshold. The status bit is 0 indicating that there is no toilet paper.

Note:
RawSenseData is the approach signal value. The closer the device is to the detected object, the larger the value; otherwise, the smaller the value. R313LA can be used in the toilet to detect whether the toilet paper is used up.
