1. Introduction The R718G is a Wireless Light Sensor for Netvox ClassA type devices based on the LoRaWAN open protocol and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. It can detect illuminance anywhere, ex. sunlight, outdoor area. LoRa Wireless Technology: LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long distance and low power consumption.
Improved power management for longer battery life Battery Life: ⁻ Please refer to web: http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html ⁻ At this website, users can find battery life time for variety models at different configurations. 1. Actual range may vary depending on environment.
4. Set up Instruction On/Off Power on Insert batteries. (users may need a flat blade screwdriver to open) Turn on Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds till the green indicator flashes once. Turn off Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till green indicator flashes for 20 (Restore to factory setting) times.

Function Key Restore to factory setting / Turn off Press and hold for 5 seconds The green indicator flashes for 20 times: success The green indicator remains off: fail The device is in the network: green indicator flashes once and sends a report Press once The device is not in the network: green indicator remains off Sleeping Mode...
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://www.netvox.com.cn:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

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.

Please use suitable screwdriver to tighten the screws (if using an electric screwdriver, it is recommended to set the torque as 4kgf) to ensure the device is impermeable. Note on battery use: Because the passivation of the ER battery electrode surface is an inherent characteristic of lithium thionyl chloride batteries, before using the ER14505 3.6V 2400mAh lithium thionyl chloride battery, the user can use a 33 ohm resistor to activate the battery for 1 minute to actively eliminate the battery hysteresis.
