1. Introduction The R718N3 series is 3-Phase Current Meter device for Netvox Class A type devices based on the LoRaWAN open protocol and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. R718N3 series have different measuring range for different variety of CT.
⚫ Low power consumption and long battery life Battery Life*2: ⁻ 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 screwdriver to open) Turn on Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds till the green indicator flashes once. Turn off (Restore to factory setting) Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till green indicator flashes 20 times. Power off Remove Batteries.
(2) If MinTime configuration less than 20 seconds, it will configure 20 seconds. (3) R718N3 series would take about 3 seconds for the CT to sample and process the collected value, If the current changes frequently, the sampling result might be wrong.

6. Installation 2. Open the clamp-on current transformer, and then pass 1. The single-phase current detector (R718N1) has a the live wire through the current transformer according to built-in magnet (see Figure 1 below). It can be attached to the surface of an object with iron during installation, the installation.

1. When using it, the back of it can be adsorbed on the iron surface, or the two ends can be fixed to the wall with screws. 2. When installing the R718N3 series current transformer, please separate the live and neutral wires of the wire to be detected,...
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.
7.1 To determine whether a battery requires activation Connect a new ER14505 battery to a 68ohm resistor in parallel, and check the voltage of the circuit. If the voltage is below 3.3V, it means the battery requires activation. 7.2 How to activate the battery a.
