QUICK START Document Description Part Number User Guide This document provides overview, safety and regulatory RB00003 information, design considerations, schematics, and general hardware information. Connection Guide This document provides instructions and information on how RB00001 to connect Reveal LoRaWAN sensors on gateways and networks.
Console, use the following steps. To use a third-party network, refer to the Connecting Radio Bridge LoRaWAN Sensors on Gateways and Networks (RB00001) , which is available through the sensor page at https://www.multitech.com/products/sensors Create a Radio Bridge console account at: https://console.radiobridge.com/...

PREPARING SENSOR Note: For easy Device ID and Key entry, scan the QR code on the device label. Then copy and paste data into the console. With the QR code, the first line is the Device ID and the rest is the key. Select the model from the Device Type drop down.
Refer to the Sensor Battery Estimator.xlsx spreadsheet on the on the sensor's product page for specific battery life estimates: https://www.multitech.com/products/sensors Battery life depends on the number of transmissions per day. Power required for a message transmission is greater than the “sleep current” for high power radio technologies (e.g, LoRaWAN).

Sensor Specific Messages chapter. Message Protocol This section defines the protocol and message definitions for the device. Note: MultiTech provides a web-based console at console.radiobridge.com for configuring and monitoring devices. We recommend using this console rather than the protocols defined in this section.
COMMON MESSAGES Message Payload Description 0xfb Link quality Sent after each downlink configuration (refer to Link Quality Message) or to periodically ping the network server (refer to Link Quality Check Period). 0xfe Reserved. 0xff 1-byte status Downlink message ACK. Refer to Downlink ACK for more detail.
COMMON MESSAGES Supervisory Message 0x01 Wireless sensors periodically send a supervisory message so the backend system can verify the device is still alive and report error conditions. The supervisory message payload include current sensor status. You can also trigger a supervisory message. To do this: Place a magnet near the triangular notch on the side of the sensor.
COMMON MESSAGES Bytes Description Current Sub-Band, sub-band currently joined and used for communication to the gateway and network server. Value ranges from 1-8 for US915. For other regions, value depends on available channels. RSSI of last DOWNLINK received, signed integer format values in bytes 1 and 2 in two’s complement format.

COMMON MESSAGES Radio Config The following table shows the radio config byte definition. Note: Available in firmware version 1.4 or newer. Bits Description Not used (reserved) Enable duty cycle requirement. LoRaWAN EU868 only. To enforce the EU868 band duty cycle requirements, enable before production deployment.
COMMON MESSAGES Bit 7:6 Bits 5:0 Sampling period defined in increments of 250ms (0.25-15 seconds). Sampling period defined in increments of seconds (1-63 seconds). Sampling period defined in increments of minutes (1-63 minutes). Sampling period defined in increments of hours (1-63 hours). Advanced Configuration Use this command for advanced configuration parameters that apply to all sensor types.
COMMON MESSAGES Downlink ACK The cloud app uses this downlink ACK message to verify the that sensor received the downlink message received and it was considered valid. The sensor replies to the downlink data with a 0xFF message (downlink ACK) with the payload shown in the following table.
SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Chapter 5 – Sensor-Specific Messages Uplink Messages The uplink message (sensor to web application) specific to the bridge is defined in following table. The common uplink messages are not included in this section (see Common Messages section). Uplink Message 0x1B: Weather Station Event Bytes Description Event Identifier...

SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Bytes Description Wind Direction minimum Wind Direction average Wind direction maximum Unused Wind direction is expressed in degrees of angle relative to North: North = 0°, East = 90°, South = 180°, and West = 270°. Event 0x01 Wind Direction Bytes Description Wind speed minimum...
SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES The rain accumulation is expressed in units of .01 mm, meaning you must divide this field by 100 to obtain the correct value. The rain intensity is expressed in units of 0.1 mm/h, meaning you must divide this field by 10 to obtain the correct value.
SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Byte Description Control Byte (defined in the following table) Periodic reporting (see Periodic Reports) Control Byte of Downlink Message Byte 0 The following table describes the control byte for the weather station bridge. Bits Description Reset rain and hail accumulation and duration parameters Reset rain and hail intensity parameters Reset all ongoing measurements except rain Periodic Reports...
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Per FCC 15.21, Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MultiTech could void authority to operate the devices.
