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.

The green indicator remains off: fail



Fail to join the network

| First two mins: every 15 seconds send a request to join the network. After two mins: every 15 minutes to send request.

Note: Suggest to check the device verification information on the gateway

or consult your platform server provider.

Function Key



Restore to factory setting

| Press and hold the factory restoring key for 5 seconds to restore to factory setting:

The green indicator will flash once at the fifth second, and release the button, the green indicator will quickly flash for 10 times, and it would restore to factory setting.



Erase the electrical energy

| Press and hold the factory restoring key for 10 seconds to clear the historical data of electrical energy: The green indicator will flash once at the fifth second, and the second flash would be at the tenth second. Release the button at this moment, the green indicator will quickly flash for 5 times, and it

would clear the historical electrical energy data.



Press the switch button

| Control the relay switch on R809A for Toggle operation: When R809A is on, the switch indicator is green

When R809A is off, the switch indicator is red

Data Report

The device will immediately send a version packet report along with two uplink packets including ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm, dash current alarm, voltage, current and power.
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.

Default setting:
MaxTime: Max Interval = 900s (15 min) MinTime: Min Interval = 2 s
Current Change: 0x0064 (100mA) Power Change: 0x14 (20W)
Note:

  1. The device reports the ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm, dash current alarm first, and after 10 seconds reports the voltage, current and power.
  2. When happened the over-current alarm, it will disconnect the load and the network indicator will quickly flash about 25 times.

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|

Note:
MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless PowerChange value.

netvox R809A Wireless Plug-and-Play Power Outlet fig4

Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, PowerChange=2W
netvox R809A Wireless Plug-and-Play Power Outlet fig5

Remarks:

  1. Compare the collected data with the last reported data. If the amount of data change is greater than ReportableChange, the device will report based on the MinTime interval. If the data change is not greater than the last reported data, the device will report based on the MaxTime interval.
  2. For the energy consumption detection device, because the device is a constant power supply device, it is not recommended to set the MinTime interval value too high in order to obtain the status information in real time. It is recommended to use the default 2 seconds. If users need to control frequent report recommendations to adjust ReportableChange and MaxTime.
  3. After the device sends a packet (regardless of whether the data has changed, such as pressing a button or the maximum time is due), another MinTime / MaxTime calculation cycle is initiated.

Installation

This product does not have a waterproof function.

The Wireless Power Outlet (R809A) is a removable, plug-and-play socket that plugs into a traditional socket or extension cord for use.
Note:

  1. The device is a high voltage equipment so be careful when installing or using it.
  2.  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.
  3.  Please stay away from magnetic fields, high temperature, humidity, etc.
  4.  Do not wipe the device with a wet cloth or a volatile reagent. It is recommended to clean with a dry cloth.
  5.  When installing the R809A, please operate it by professionals
  6.  Do not disassemble the housing by yourself
  7.  Do not install the R809A in a possible happened water leak place

When the R809A switch button turn on or turn off, the load is connected to the power supply, the uplink packet will report ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm, dash current alarm and after 10 seconds reporting voltage, current and power.
Note:
When disconnecting the load power, the current and power data will report “0”

Applicable use cases for R809A Wireless Power Outlet include but are not limited to the following:

  • Family
  • School,
  • Hospital
  • Shopping mall
    When electrical equipment needs turn on/off regularly, remote, and scene control.
    netvox R809A Wireless Plug-and-Play Power Outlet fig6 Note:
    R809A saves the electric energy data every 10 second in memory IC AT24C02, it could loss the electric energy data in 10 seconds when power off.

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.
