5. Operation Principle Upon power on, the Sigfox node has 60 seconds to wait for off-line configuration (via cable with ModbusRTU protocol) After 1 minute 30 seconds later the device will send the first data packet and at the same time wait for the downlink packet from the Base Station.
will be a beep sound from the buzzer meaning the data has been sent. (Buzzer will be updated in the latest version) POST- EVENT PRE-CONDITION ACTION LED STATUS BUZZER STATUS ACTIVITIES CONDITION Move Magnet Key to contact point of REED SWITCH. Back to previous FORCE_DATA Any state...
5.2 Button Function 5.2.1 Menu configuration There are 3 configuration menus: tx_repeat, downlink_flag, radio configuration. We use the button to enter the menus as follows: 5.2.1.1 tx_repeat Press and hold the button 2s -> When the Red LED is on, it means entering the tx_repeat configuration menu. Then release to configure it.

5.5 Process of measurement When the sensor sampling time interval is reached, for example 2 minutes, the Sigfox node will wake up and switch ON the power supply to supply the energy to external sensor to start the measurement. Depends on the type and characteristic of external sensor, the sensor will take a certain time to finish the measurement.

7. Installation 7.1 Locate the good place for Radio signal To maximize the distance of transmission, the ideal condition is Line-of-sight (LOS) between the Sigfox sensor and...
Base station. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the Sigfox sensor still communicate with Base station, but the distance will be reduced significantly. ATTENTION: DO NOT install the Sigfox sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because RF signal can not pass through metallic wall.
7.2.2 Remote mounting on wall or pole Make sure the wall or place of pole for mounting is not covered or affected by the surrounding metallic objects; Using the metal tubing and fittings for interconnection between process pipe and sensor process connector; The metal tubing and fitting materials, and size must be sizing properly to suit the process conditions;...
