1. Introduction
The R718B series is a wireless resistance temperature detector for Netvox Class A type devices based on the LoRaWAN open protocol and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. It connects an external resistance temperature detector (PT1000) to measure the temperature. LoRa Wireless Technology LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long-distance and low power consumption. Compared with other communication methods, the 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, and 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.

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.

series) has a built-in magnet. When installed, it can be

 Oven

attached to the surface of an object with iron which is

 Industrial control equipment

convenient and quick. To make the installation more secure,

 Semiconductor industry

use screws (purchased) to fix the unit to a wall or other

surface.

Note: Do not install the device in a metal shielded box or in an environment with other electrical equipment around it to avoid affecting the wireless transmission of the device.

Screw hole diameter: Ø4mm 2. When R718B series is compared with the last reported
values, the temperature change is exceeded 0.1°C (default), it will report values at the MinTime interval; If does not exceed 0.1°C (default), it will report values at the MaxTime interval. 3. Do not put the whole stainless probe into the liquid. Sinking the probe into the liquid could damage the sealing compound and thus cause the liquid to get inside the PCB.
Screw hole diameter: Ø4mm
Note: Do not sink the probe into chemical solutions, such as alc1o4hol, ketone, ester, acid, and alkali.

 R718BC

 R718BP

3.1 When installing R718BC, user needs to fix the clamp probe on the surface of a tube and tighten the screw with a slotted screwdriver.

3.2 When installing R718BP, user needs to ... a. Remove the liner of the doubled-sided tape on the back of the patch probe. b. Put the patch probe on the surface of an object. c. Fix the patch probe with PTFE tape.

7. 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: 7.1 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.

7.2 How to activate the battery a. Connect a battery to a resistor in parallel b. Keep the connection for 5~8 minutes c. The voltage of the circuit should be 3.3, indicating successful activation.

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.
