(for example: detect the height of garbage in the waste bin). R718X also has tilt angle and temperature detection function, it can detect the tilt angle and temperature of the waste bin.
Available third-party platform: Actility / ThingPark, TTN, MyDevices/Cayenne Low power consumption and long battery life Battery Life: ⁻ Please refer to web: http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html ⁻ At this website, users can find battery lifetime 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 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 times. (Restore to factory setting) Power off Remove Batteries.
(1) The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary. (2) 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.

Set Distance Threshold (7) Set OnDistanceThreshold to the appropriate value Downlink: 033401F400000000000000 // 01F4 (H ) = 500 (D Device returns: 8334000000000000000000 (8) Read OnDistanceThreshold, and check whether it is set successfully. Downlink: 0434000000000000000000 Device returns: 833401F400000000000000 *The mode switches via setting the value of FillMaxDistance and OnDistanceThreshold. If the current mode of the device is waste bin detection, it can be switched to the parking detection by setting FillMaxDistance to 0 first, and then setting OnDistanceThreshold.

(3) Set the temperature calibration: If the temperature the R718X detects is 26° and the actual temperature is 27°, it means the calibration we want to make is +1°. SensorType =0x01 ,Channel 2= 01, Multiplier = 000A, Divisor = 0000, DeltValue=0001 Downlink:010101000A000000010000...

6. Application scenario In the use case of detecting the garbage in waste bin, the device should be installed on the top of the waste bin. After the device is installed and powered, turn on the device and it will detect the distance between the device and the garbage as well as the percentage of the garbage in the waste bin.

Illustration 2. If the R718X is installed as the following way, then the measured distance needs to add the height of the device itself which is 28mm. Note: (1) The default value of OnDistanceThreshold is 500mm, and the default value of FillMaxDistance is 2000mm.
The purpose is to ensure that the angle calibration is complete. 7.1 The waste bin with frame Outer frame R718X Install the sensor above the outer frame, and make it be parallel to the bottom of the waste bin.

8. 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.
9. 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.
