Hand Wash Detection
Uplink: 01B7012401000000000000 // The report of the status is 1 meaning it has hand wash.
Uplink: 01B7012400000000000000 // The report of the status is 0 meaning it has no hand wash.

Water Leakage Detection
Uplink: 01B7012401000000000000 // The report of the status is 1 meaning it has water leakage.
Uplink: 01B7012400000000000000 // The report of the status is 0 meaning it has no water leakage.

Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic:
Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange=0.1V

Note: MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless BatteryVoltageChange value.
Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V

Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange= 0.1V.

Notes

1. The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval. When it is sleeping, it does not collect data.
2. The data collected is compared with the last data reported. If the data variation 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.
3. 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.
4. 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

The device is waterproof.
The installation instruction is as the figure below.

1. The device can be fixed on the cover by the force rubber, or make the hole in the cover and bundle the device with cable ties.
2. The length of the probe can be trimmed according to personal requirements.
3. When the level of the hand wash is lower than electrode rods, the device will issue a warning

Information about Battery Passivation

Many of Netvox devices are powered by 3.6V ER14505 Li-SOCl2 (lithium-thionyl chloride) batteries that offer many advantages including low self-discharge rate and high energy density.
However, primary lithium batteries like Li-SOCl2 batteries will form a passivation layer as a reaction between the lithium anode and thionyl chloride if they are in storage for a long time or if the storage temperature is too high. This lithium chloride layer prevents rapid self-discharge caused by continuous reaction between lithium and thionyl chloride, but battery passivation may also lead to voltage delay when the batteries are put into operation, and our devices may not work correctly in this situation.
As a result, please make sure to source batteries from reliable vendors, and the batteries should be produced within the last three months.
If encountering the situation of battery passivation, users can activate the battery to eliminate the battery hysteresis.

*To determine whether a battery requires activation
Connect a new ER14505 battery to a 68ohm resistor in parallel, and check the voltage of the circuit.
If the voltage is below 3.3V, it means the battery requires activation.

How to activate the battery

1. Connect a battery to a 68ohm resistor in parallel
2. Keep the connection for 6~8 minutes
3. The voltage of the circuit should be ≧3.3V

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.
