1. Introduction R718F is a wireless long-distance reed switch detection device which is Class A devices based on the LoRaWAN protocol of Netvox and is compatible with the 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.
Low power consumption and long battery life Note*: Battery life is determined by the sensor reporting frequency and other variables, please refer to http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html On this website, users can find battery life of various models in different configurations. 4.Set up Instruction...

Network Joining Turn on the device to search the network. Never joined the network The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success The green indicator remains off: fail Turn on the device to search the previous network. Had joined the network The green indicator stays on for 5 seconds: success (Not restore to the factory setting) The green indicator remains off: fail...
The cycle of the device sending the data report is according to the default. The interval between two reports must be the Mintime. Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data.

6. Installation 2. When the door or window is opened, the reed switch 1. R718F has a built-in magnet (as the figure below). When probe is separated from the magnet, and the device sends installed, it can be attached to the surface of an object with an alarm message about the opening.

When installing the device, the magnet must move along the X axis relative to the sensor. If the magnet moves along the Y axis relative to the sensor, it will cause repeated reports due to the magnetic field. Note: Please do not disassemble the device unless it is required to replace the batteries. Do not touch the waterproof gasket, LED indicator light, function keys when replacing the batteries.
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.
8. Important Maintenance Instruction The device is a product with superior design and craftsmanship and should be used with care. The following suggestions will help you use the warranty service effectively. • Keep the equipment dry. Rain, moisture and various liquids or water may contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
