3.5.2 Threshold & Alarm Settings
EM300 series supports various types of alarm settings.
1) Temperature Threshold Alarm:
EM300-TH/MCS/SLD/ZLD/DI supports temperature threshold alarm settings. When current temperature is over or below the threshold value, the device will report the threshold alarm packet once instantly. Only when the threshold alarm is dismissed and re-triggered, the device will report the alarm again.

Description The interval to detect temperature after threshold alarm triggers. This interval should be less than reporting interval.

2) EM300-MCS/SLD/ZLD/MLD:

Parameters Alarm Reporting
Alarm Reporting Interval Alarm Reporting Times

Description After enabled, the device will report the alarm packet when the door status changes to open or water is detected to leak. The interval to report digital status after alarm triggers. This interval should be less than reporting interval. Alarm packet report times after alarm triggers.

3) EM300-DI:
When interface type is Digital:

13

Parameters Alarm Reporting
Alarm Reporting Interval Alarm Reporting Times

Description After enabled, the device will report the alarm packet according to digital change options. The interval to report digital status after alarm triggers. This interval should be less than reporting interval. Alarm packet report times after alarm triggers.

When interface type is Pulse:

Parameters
Duration for Water Flow Determination/s

Description If the pulse counter does not increase for this duration time, the device will judge current status as “Water Outage”; otherwise, the device will judge current status as “Water Flow”.

14

Water Flow Timeout Alarm
Water Outage Timeout Alarm

If the “Water Flow” status has passed the timeout interval, the device will report a water flow timeout alarm packet. If the water flow status stops during next timeout interval, the device will report the alarm dismiss packet; otherwise, it will report an alarm packet again. If the “Water Outage” status has passed the timeout interval, the device will report a water outage timeout alarm packet. If the water outage status stops during next timeout interval, the device will report the alarm dismiss packet; otherwise, it will report an alarm packet again.

4) EM300-CL:

Parameters
Alarm Reporting
Status Detection Interval Alarm Reporting Times Alarm Dismiss Report

Description After enabled, the device will report the alarm packet when the liquid level of container is lower than the installation height of detection electrode sheet. The interval to detect liquid status after alarm triggers. Alarm packet report times after alarm triggers. After enabled, the device will report the alarm dismiss packet once when the liquid of container is changed to full.

3.5.3 Data Storage
EM300 series (except EM300-CL) supports storing data records locally and exporting data via ToolBox App. The device will record the data according to reporting interval and even join network. 1. Go to Device > Status of ToolBox App to click Sync to sync the time.

15

Besides, when device LoRaWAN® version is set as 1.0.3, the device will send MAC commands to ask the network server for the time every time it joins the network. 2. Go to Device > Setting > General Settings to enable data storage feature. 3. Go to Device > Maintenance, click Export, then select the data time range and click Confirm to export data. ToolBox App can only export last 14 days’ data.
16

3.5.4 Data Retransmission
EM300 series (except EM300-CL) supports data retransmission to ensure network server can get all data even if network is down for some times. There are two ways to get the lost data: Network server sends downlink commands to to enquire the historical data for specifying
time range, see section Historical Data Enquiry; When network is down if no response from LinkCheckReq MAC packets for a period of time,
the device will record the network disconnected time and re-transmit the lost data after device re-connects the network. Here are the steps for data retransmission: 1. Enable data storage feature and data retransmission feature;
2. Go to Device > Setting > General Settings to enable rejoin mode feature and set the number of packets sent. Take below as an example, the device will send LinkCheckReq MAC packets to the network server regularly to check for any network disconnection; if there is no response for 8+1 times, the join status will change to de-active and the device will record a data lost time point (the time it reconnected to the network).
3. After the network connected back, the device will send the lost data from the point in time
17

when the data was lost according to the reporting interval. Note: 1) If the device is rebooted or re-power when data retransmission is not completed, the device will re-send all retransmission data again after device is reconnected to the network; 2) If the network is disconnected again during data retransmission, it will only send the latest disconnected data; 3) The retransmission data format is started with “20ce” or “21ce”, please refer to see section Historical Data Enquiry. 4) Data retransmission will increase the uplinks and shorten the battery life.
3.5.5 Milesight D2D Settings
Milesight D2D protocol is developed by Milesight and used for setting up transmission among Milesight devices without gateway. When the Milesight D2D settings is enabled, EM300 series (except EM300-CL) can work as D2D controller to send control commands to trigger Milesight D2D agent devices. 1. Configure RX2 datarate and RX2 frequency in LoRaWAN® settings, it is suggested to change the default value if there are many LoRaWAN® devices around. 2. Go to Device > Setting > D2D Settings to enable Milesight D2D feature. 3. Define an unique D2D key which is the same as Milesight D2D agent devices. (Default D2D key: 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823)
4. Enable one of status mode and configure 2-byte hexadecimal Milesight D2D command. When the status is triggered, EM300 series sensor will send this control command to corresponding Milesight D2D agent devices. Take EM300-ZLD as example below:
18

Note: 1) If you enable LoRa Uplink, a LoRaWAN® uplink packet that contains corresponding alarm status will be sent to gateway after the Milesight D2D control command packet. Otherwise, the alarm packet will not send to LoRaWAN® gateway. 2) If you want to enable Temperature Threshold Trigger Status: Trigger or Temperature Threshold Trigger Status: not triggered, please enable and configure temperature threshold feature under Threshold Settings. 3) For EM300-DI, if you want to enable water flow or outage settings, please enable and configure water flow threshold feature under Threshold Settings.
3.6 Maintenance

2. The device only uploads no more than 300 data records per range enquiry. 3. When enquiring the data in time point, it will upload the data which is closest to the search point within the reporting interval range. For example, if the device’s reporting interval is 10 minutes and users send command to search for 17:00’s data, if the device find there is data stored in 17:00, it will upload this data; if not, it will search for data between 16:50 to 17:00 and upload the data which is closest to 17:00.

Example: 1. Enquire historical data between 2022/10/28 14:15:00 to 2022/10/28 15:45:00.
