1. Introduction The R718NL3 series is a Light Sensor and 3-Phase Current Meter device for Netvox ClassA type devices based on the LoRaWAN open protocol and is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol. R718NL3 series have different measuring range for different variety of CT.
⚫ Low power consumption and long battery life Note: Battery life is determined by the sensor reporting frequency and other variables, please refer to http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html On this website, users can find battery life time for varied models at different configurations.
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 (Restore to factory setting) Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds till green indicator flashes 20 times. Power off Remove Batteries.
(1) The device report interval will be programmed based on the default firmware which may vary. (2) The interval between two reports must be the minimum time. Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://cmddoc.netvoxcloud.com/cmddoc to resolve uplink data.

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.
