Introduction

The device detects the number of movements or vibrations (such as detecting the motor a few times a day). The maximum number of movements or vibrations can reach 2 32 times (theoretical value). The device sends the information of the number of movements or vibrations to the gateway for processing. It is compatible with LoRaWAN protocol.
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.

Set up Instruction

On/Off

Po \ket an	Insert two sections of 3V CR2450 button batteries and close the battery cover
I urn on	Press any function key and the green and red indicators flash once.
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 Batteries.
Note:	Remove and insert the battery; the device memorizes the previous on/off state by default. On/off interval is suggested to be about 10 seconds to avoid the interference of capacitor inductance and other energy storage components. Press any function key and insert batteries at the same time; it will enter engineer testing mode.

Network Joining

Never joined the network	Turn on the device to search the network to join. The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success The green indicator remains off: fail
Had joined the network	Turn on the device to search the previous network to join. The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success The green indicator remains off: fail
Fail to join the network (when the device is on)	Suggest checking the device verification information on the gateway or consult your platform service provider.

Function Key

Press and hold for 5 seconds	Restore to factory setting / Turn off The green indicator flashes 20 times: success The green indicator remains off: fail
Press once	The device is in the network: the green indicator flashes once and sends a report The device is not in the network: the green indicator remains off

Sleeping Mode

The device is on and in the network

Sleeping period: Min Interval. When the report change exceeds the setting value or the state changes: send a data report according to Min Interval.

Low Voltage Warning

Low Voltage

2.4V

Data Report

The device will immediately send a version packet report and the attribute report data
The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.
Default setting:

• MaxTime: Max Interval = 60 min = 3600s
• MinTime: Min Interval = 60 min = 3600s
• BatteryVoltageChange: 0x01 (0.1V)
• ActiveThreshold: 0x0003 (Threshold range: 0x0003-0x00FF; 0x0003 is the most sensitive.)
• Deactivetime: 0x05 (Deactive time Range: 0x01-0xFF)

ActiveThreshold:
Active Threshold = Critical value ÷ 9.8 ÷ 0.0625
*The gravitational acceleration at standard atmospheric pressure is 9.8 m/s
*The scale factor of the threshold is 62.5 mg
R313FB vibration alarm:
When the device detects a sudden movement or vibration, change of the quiescent state, the device waits for DeactiveTime to enter the quiescent state and the count times are incremented by one, and a report of the number of vibrations is sent. Then, it restarts to prepare for the next detection. If the vibration continues to occur during this process, the timing restarts until it enters the quiescent state.
The counting data will not be saved when the power is off. The device type, Active vibration threshold, and DeactiveTime can be changed through the command sent by the gateway.
Note:
The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary.
The interval between two reports must be the minimum time.
Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.
Data report configuration and sending period are as follows:

Mb 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	Can not be 0.	Report per Mb Interval	Report per Max Interval

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 BtteryVoltageChange 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 change value 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 Maxime interval.
3. We do not recommend setting 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 the resulting data variation, button pushed, or Maxime interval, another cycle of MinTime/Maxime calculation is started.

Installation

1. Remove the 3M adhesive on the back of the device and attach the body to the surface of a smooth object (please do not stick it to a rough surface to prevent the device from falling off after a long time of use).
   Note:
   • Wipe the surface clean before installation to avoid dust on the surface to affect the adhesion of the device.
   • 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.
   
2. The device detects a sudden movement or vibration, and it will immediately send a report.
   After the vibration alarm, the device waits for a certain period of time (DeactiveTime- default: 5seconds, can be modified) to enter the quiescent state before starting the next detection.
   Note：
   • If the vibration continues to occur during this process(quiescent state), it will delay 5 seconds until it enters the quiescent state.
   • When the vibration alarm is generated, the counting data will be sent.

Activity Detection Sensor (R313FB) is suitable for the following scenarios:

• Valuables (Painting, Safe)
• Industrial Equipment
• Industrial Instrument
• Medical Instruments

When it is necessary to detect a possibility of the valuables being moved and the motor running.

Important Maintenance Instruction

Kindly pay attention to the following in order to achieve the best maintenance of the product:

• Keep the device dry. Rain, moisture, or any liquid might contain minerals and thus corrode electronic circuits. If the device gets wet, please dry it completely.
• Do not use or store the device in a dusty or dirty environment. It might damage its detachable parts and electronic components.
• Do not store the device under excessive heat conditions. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, destroy batteries, and deform or melt some plastic parts.
• Do not store the device in places that are too cold. 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. Rough handling of equipment can destroy internal circuit boards and delicate structures.
• Do not clean the device with strong chemicals, detergents, or strong detergents.
• Do not apply the device with paint. Smudges might block the device and affect the operation.
• Do not throw the battery into the fire, or the battery will explode. Damaged batteries may also explode.

All of the above applies to your device, battery, and accessories. If any device is not working properly, please take it to the nearest authorized service facility for repair.
