3. Once the battery is removed, the device is at off mode by default setting.

4. Turn off operation is the same as Restore to Factory Setting operation.

Join Into LoRa Network

To join the device into the LoRa network to communicate with the LoRa gateway The network operation is as follows

1.  If the device had never joined any network, turn on the device; it will search for an available LoRa network to join. The green indicator will stay on for 5 seconds to show it joins into the network, otherwise, the green indicator will be off.
2.  If R718MBB had been joined into a LoRa network, remove and insert the batteries; it will repeat step (1).

 Function Key

1.  Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds to reset to the factory setting. After restoring to the factory setting successfully, the green indicator will flash quickly 20 times.
2. Press the function key to turn on the device that is in the network and the green indicator will flash once and the device will send a data report.

Data Report
When the device is turned on, it will immediately send a version package and cluster report data . Data will be reported once per hour by default setting.

Maximum time: 3600s
Minimum time: 3600s (Detect the current voltage value every 3600s by default setting)

Default report change
Battery 0x01 (0.1V)
Note

1. The device periodically sends data according to the maximum interval.
2. The data content is: R718MBB current vibration times 718MB B device will only report according to the minimum interval when battery voltage changes

R718MBB vibration times report
The device detects sudden movement or vibration waits for 5 seconds after entering the stationary state counts the number of counts sends a report of the number of vibrations and restarts a new round of detection. If the vibration continues to occur during this process, the 5 seconds timing restarts. Until it reaches a standstill. The count data is not saved when it is powered off.

You can change the device type and active vibration threshold by using the gateway to send commands. R718MB DeviceType (1Bytes, 0x01_R718MBA, 0x02_R718MBB, 0x03_R718MBC), the default value is the programming value. The active vibration threshold range is 0x0003 0x00FF (default is 0x0003)

Restore to Factory Setting

R718MBB saves data including network key information, configuration information, etc T o restore to the factory setting, users need to execute the below operations.

1. Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till the green indicator flashes and then release the LED flash es quickly 20 times.
2. R718MBB is at off mode by default setting after restoring to the factory setting.
   Note: The device operation of turning off is the same as the Restore Factory Settings operation

Sleeping Mode
R718MBB is designed to enter sleeping mode for power saving in some situations:

• While the device is in the network the sleeping period is Min Interval. (During this period, if the report change is larger than the setting value, it will wake up and send a data report
• When it is not in the network R718MBB will enter sleeping mode and wake up every 15 seconds to search a network to join in the first two minutes. After two minutes, it will wake up every 15 minutes to request to join the network. If it at (B) status, to prevent this unwanted power consumption, we recommend that users remove the batteries to power off the device

Low Voltage Alarming
The operating voltage threshold is 3.2 V. If the battery voltage is lower than 3.2 V, R718MBB will send a low power warning to the Lo R a network

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 reactions 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 it is suggested that if the storage period is more than one month from the date of battery production, all the batteries should be activated. If encountering the situation of battery passivation, users can activate the battery to eliminate the battery hysteresis.

ER14505 Battery Passivation
To determine whether a battery requires activation Connect a new ER14505 battery to a 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

• Connect a battery to a resistor in parallel
•  Keep the connection for 5~8 minutes
•  The voltage of the circuit should be ≧3.3, indicating successful activation.

Note
If you buy batteries from other than the above four manufacturers,
then the battery activation time, activation current, and
required load resistance shall be mainly subject to the announcement of each manufacturer
