    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.

  • Page 11: Reset Message 0X00

    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.

  • Page 12: Supervisory Message 0X01

    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.

  • Page 13: Downlink Messages

    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.
  • Page 14 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.

  • Page 15: Advanced Configuration

    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.

  • Page 16: Downlink Ack

    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.

  • Page 17: Chapter 5 - Sensor-Specific Messages

    SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Chapter 5 – Sensor-Specific Messages Uplink Messages The uplink message (sensor to web application) specific to the sensor is defined in following table. The common uplink messages are not included in this section (see common messages document). Bytes Description Voltage Measurement Event Payload (see Voltage Measurement Event Payload Definitions)

  • Page 18: Report On Change Mode

    SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Byte Description Periodic reporting in 1 minute or 1 hour intervals. Default is 0 (disabled) Restoral margin. Default is 100mV. Lower analog measurement threshold. Default 10V. Upper analog measurement threshold. Default 12V. The upper and lower thresholds are unsigned values with units of 10mV. Note that if the configuration settings exceed the maximum ratings on the sensor, the sensor may not report an event.
  • Page 19 SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Bit 7 Bits 6:0 Period defined in hours (1-127 hours) Period defined in minutes (1-127 minutes) For example, to receive a report every 4 hours, byte 1 would be set to 0x04. To receive a periodic report every 15 minutes, byte 1 would be set to 0x8f.
