    2 DESCRIPTION OF BASIC FUNCTIONS 2.1 READINGS DISPLAYING The device has LED indicator on a faceplate for visual displaying of the readings (fig. 2). Readings are displayed in cubic meters up to the fourth decimal point on a cumulative total. During the operation of the meter, the number of packets sent over the radio channel is displayed on the LED indicator every 2 minutes, while the “SP”...

    2.3 OPTICAL PORT There is an optical port (fig. 2) for connection to computer, which also used for testing. The adapter “Opticalport-USB” connected to the USB-port of computer carries out connection between the optical port and computer. “Vega LoRaWAN Configurator” application allows reading and changing the meters parameters. See detailed application description in a part 3.
  • Page 11: Class А Device

    • OTAA (Over The Air Activation) – meter makes three trying to connect the network with configured frequency plan (RU868 by default). The meter will begin to send data when it receives the LoRaWAN activation confirmation. If all attempts fail, the meter will continue to accumulate data and will attempt to connect to the network every six hours.
