Introduction

R831A is a high-reliability switch control device which is a Class C device of netvox based on the LoRaWAN open protocol. The device is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. R831A is a device used to control the switch and is mainly used for the switch control of the strong electric motor control box.

LoRa Wireless Technology:
LoRa is a wireless communication technology famous for its long-distance transmission and low power consumption. Compared with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation technique greatly extend the communication distance. It can be widely used in any use case that requires long-distance and low-data wireless communications. For example, automatic meter reading, building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring. It has features like small size, low power consumption, long transmission distance, strong 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.

Data Report

The device will immediately send a version packet and a report packet with the motor status. The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.

Default setting:
MaxTime: Max Interval = 900s
MinTime: Min Interval = 2s (The current power state will be checked every Min Interval by default.)

Note:
The report interval of the device will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary.
The interval between two reports must be the MinTime.
If there are special customized shipments, the setting will be changed according to customer’s requirements.

Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver
http://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

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

Note:
The status has changed, it will be reported at MinTime and recommend the MinTime Interval set as 2 seconds

Application

In the case of curtain control, the curtain can be forward, stopped and reversed by issuing instructions and three buttons.

Installation

This product does not have a waterproof function. After joined the network, please place it indoors.
The wiring diagram as follow below:
Instructions on switching the operating mode (If users do not strictly follow the manual connection, it may damage the product.) R831 has four operating modes corresponding to the three keys of the DIP switch. Toggle the switch and power on again to switch the corresponding state. (If the DIP switch is not correctly toggled, the network lights and status lights will flash alternately,users need to dial power down and power on again.)

1. R831A – strong electric motor mode: Toggle the DIP switch 1
   This mode has two relays involved in operation which are combined for on / off / stop.

2. R831B – light current motor mode : Toggle the DIP switch 2
   This mode has three relays involved in the operation which are respectively for on /off / stop.

3. R831C – relay mode : Toggle the DIP switch 3
   In this mode, the external dry contact can directly control the on / off of the local relay.

4. R831D – relay mode : Toggle the DIP switches 1 and 2
   In this mode, the external dry contact does not directly control the on/off of the local relay but reports the dry contact status and relay status.

Important Maintenance Instruction

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

• 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.
