Introduction R718PA8 is a Class A device based on the LoRaWANTM protocol of Netvox and is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. R718PA8 can be connected with a pH sensor (RS485) and report the pH value and temperature of the solution collected by the device 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. 2 2.

Set Up Instruction On/Off Power On DC12V adapter Turn On DC12V power supply, the green indicator flashing once means turn on successfully. Turn Off (Restore to factory setting) Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds, and the green indicator flashes 20 times. Power Off Remove DC12V adapter 1. On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid Note the interference of capacitor inductance and other energy storage components. 2. In the first 5 seconds after power on, the device will be in engineering test mode. Network Joining Turn on the device to search the network. Never Join the Network The green indicator keeps on for 5 seconds: success. The green indicator remains off: fail Had Joined the Network ( Not restore to 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 to check the device registration information on the gateway or consulting your platform server provider Function Key Press and Hold for 5 Seconds Press once Restore to the original setting / turn off The green indicator flashes 20 times: success The green indicator remains off: fail 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 4 5. Data Report After power on, the device will immediately send a version packet report. Then, it will send another report with the data of pH value and temperature of the solution after it is powered on for 20s. The device sends data according to the default configuration before any other configuring. Default setting: MaxTime: Max Interval = 3min = 180s MinTime: The MinTime configuration is not available. *But the software has restriction, MinTime must be configured a number greater than 0. Note: Report interval is based on the factory default. R718PA8 reports the pH value and temperature of the solution.

Installation 6.1 PH Sensor Use The water level of the water you plan to measure the pH value of is recommended to be higher than the spiral curve on the pH sensor. ` Spiral curve Note: (1) The sensor is recommended to be installed with angles higher than 15 degrees. (2) Horizontal or upside-down position is not allowed. > 15 ° 7 6.2 PH Sensor Maintenance When measuring the pH sensor, it should be cleaned in distilled water (or deionized water), and the filter paper should be used to absorb moisture to prevent impurities from being introduced into the liquid to be tested. 1/3 of the sensor should be inserted into the solution to be tested. The sensor should be washed when not in use, inserted into a protective sleeve with a 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution, or the sensor inserted into a container with a 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution. If the liquid in the cover of the pH sensor dries out, you could replace the liquid with potassium chloride liquid or tap water. Please do not use purified water or deionized water. Check if the terminal is dry. If it is stained, wipe it with absolute alcohol and dry it. Avoid long-term immersion in distilled water or protein solution and prevent contact with silicone grease. With a longer sensor, its glass film may become translucent or with deposits, which can be washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and rinsed with water. The sensor is used for a long time. When a measurement error occurs, it must be calibrated with the meter for calibration. When the calibration and measurement cannot be performed while the sensor is being maintained and maintained in the above manner, the sensor has failed. Please replace the sensor. Note: PH sensor can be placed in water for a long time. If PH sensor is not applicable, please add some water to the sponge in the protective shell of the probe, and then install the protective shell to the probe position. PH senor can not be exposed to the sun, and should be placed in a humid environment. If PH sensor is put in the water for a long time, it will consume the electrode. When the electrode is consumed to a certain extent, the electrode needs to be replaced, and the life span is about half a year. 8 1. R718PA8 has the built-in magnet (as the figure below) which can be 2. R718PA8 regularly reports data that is pH value and the attached to the surface of an iron object during installation, which is solution temperature according to MaxTime. The default convenient and quick. Max Time is 3 minutes. In order to make the installation firmer, please use screws (purchased separately) to fix the device to the wall or other surface Note: (as Figure below). MaxTime can be modified by the downlink command, but it is recommended not to set the interval too short. Note: Do not install the device in a metal shielded box or in an environment surrounded by other electrical equipment to avoid affecting the wireless transmission of the device. R718PA8 can be applied to detecting the pH value and the solution temperature Example: Water Quality Monitor Industrial Sewage Disposal Agricultural Irrigation/Aquaculture Swimming Pool/Hot Spring Screw Fixation Screw Fixation 9 7. 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. 10
