1. Introduction The R718PG 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 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.
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.

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 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. •...
