Introduction
RA0724_R72624_RA0724Y is a ClassA type device based on the LoRaWAN open
protocol of Netvox and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol.
RA0724_R72624_RA0724Y can be connected to a variety of sensors. As detectors
for noise, temperature, and humidity, the values collected by the sensor are
reported to the corresponding gateway.
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, 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
Power ON| RA0724 and RA0724Y are connected to DC 12V adapter for power on.
R72624 applies solar and rechargeable lithium batteries.
---|---
Turn On| Connect with power on to turn on.
Restore to Factory Setting| Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till
the green indicator flashes 20 times.
Power Off| Disconnect from the power supply.
*The engineering test requires writing the engineering testing software separately.
Note: The interval between on and off is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid the interference of capacitor inductance and other energy storage components.
Network Joining
**** Never Join the Network
| Turn on the device to search the network.
The green indicator keeps on for 5 seconds: success. The green indicator remains off: fail
**** Had Joined the Network (Not in the factory setting)| Turn on the device to search the previous network. The green indicator keeps on for 5 seconds: success.
The green indicator remains off: fail.
**** Fail to Join the Network| Suggest checking the device registration information on the gateway or consulting your platform
server provider if the device fails to join the network.
Function Key
Press and hold for 5 Seconds| Restore to the factory setting / Turn off
The green indicator flashes 20 times: success The green indicator remains off: fail
|
**** Press once| The device is in the network: the green indicator flashes
once and the device sends a data report.
The device is not in the network: the green indicator remains off.
Restore to Factory Setting
**** Description| RA0724_R72624_RA0724Y has the function of the power-down saving the memory of network-joining information. This function acquiesces, in turn, off, that is, it will rejoin every time when it is power on. If the device is turned on by the ResumeNetOnOff command, the last network-joining information will be recorded when every time it is powered on. (including saving the network address information that it is assigned, etc.) If users want to join a new
network, the device needs to perform the factory setting, and it will not rejoin the last network.
---|---
**** Operation Method| 1. Press and hold the binding button for 5
seconds and then release
(release the binding button when the LED flashes), and the LED flashes 20 times.
2. The device automatically restarts to rejoin the network.
Low Voltage Threshold|
---|---
Low Voltage Threshold| 10.5 V
Data Report
After power is on, the device will immediately send a version packet report and two data reports including noise value, temperature, humidity, and voltage. The device sends data according to the default configuration before any other configuring.
ReportMaxTime:
RA0724_ RA0724Y is 180s,
R72624 is 1800s (subject to factory setting)
ReportMaxTime should be greater than ReportType count *ReportMinTime+10 and
should not be less than 300 seconds.
ReportType count = 2
ReportMinTime: 30s (Interval time between two reports)
Note:
- The cycle of the device sending the data report is according to the default.
- The interval between two reports must be the MaxTime.
- ReportChange is not supported by RA0724_R72624_RA0724Y (Invalid configuration). The data report is sent according to ReportMaxTime as a cycle (the first data report is the start to the end of a cycle).
- Data pocket: noise, temperature, and humidity
- The device also supports the TxPeriod cycle configuration instructions of Cayenne. Therefore, the device can perform the report according to the TxPeriod cycle. The particular report cycle is ReportMaxTime or TxPeriod depending on which report cycle was configured last time.
- It would take 35 seconds for the sensor to sample and process the collected value after pressing the button, please be patient.
The device reported data parsing please refer to the Netvox LoraWAN

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 equipment dry. Rain, moisture and various liquids or water may contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. In case the device is wet, please dry it completely.
- Do not use or store in dusty or dirty areas. This way can damage its detachable parts and electronic components.
- Do not store in excessive heat place. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
- Do not store in excessive cold place. 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. Treating equipment roughly can destroy internal circuit boards and delicate structures.
- Do not wash with strong chemicals, detergents, or strong detergents.
- Do not paint the device. Smudges can make debris block detachable parts up and affect normal operation.
- Do not throw the battery into the fire to prevent the battery from exploding. Damaged batteries may also 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.
