QUICK START Note: For easy Device ID and Key entry, scan the QR code on the yellow key card included with your device. 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. -
Page 9: Installing Rope Water Sensors
QUICK START Installing Rope Water Sensors Rope water sensors detect leaks along the length of the rope, it can be wrapped around a fixture or spread across a room, dropped ceiling, or anywhere you need leak detection. Install the sensor so the rope reaches the area you want to monitor for water leaks. -
Page 10: Chapter 3 - Hardware Specifications And Information
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). - Page 11 HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION Remove the battery.

Page 14: Chapter 4 - Common Messages
Common Messages This chapter defines the protocol and message definitions common to all MultiTech wireless sensors. Common messages include basic error messages, tamper, supervisory, link quality, and downlink acknowledgments. Sensor specific messages are in the Sensor Specific Messages chapter. -
Page 15: Reset Message 0X00
COMMON MESSAGES Item Size Description Message Payload 0-7 bytes Each message type has between 0 and 8 bytes of payload data specific to the sensor. Refer to the following table for payload information. 0x00 5-byte Device has reset. The reset cause is represented in the 5-byte reset code payload. reset code 0x01... -
Page 16: Supervisory Message 0X01
COMMON MESSAGES Byte Description Minor number (8 bits) Format (bit == 1) 14:10 Major number (5 bits) Minor number (5 bits) Build number (5 bits) 16-Bit Firmware Version Examples 0x0103 is decoded as Firmware Version 1.3 0x8823 is decoded as Firmware Version 2.1.3 Supervisory Message 0x01 Wireless sensors periodically (19 hours by default) send a supervisory message so the backend system can verify the device is still alive and report error conditions. -
Page 17: Tamper Message 0X02
COMMON MESSAGES Event accumulation count is the number of sensor events since the last supervisory message. To improve battery life, can be used with the Disable all sensor events setting so only an event total is reported during a supervisory message, individual events are not reported as they occur. This feature is available in firmware v2.0 and beyond. -
Page 18: General Configuration
COMMON MESSAGES General Configuration Use the general configuration command to configure parameters that apply to all sensor types. Byte Description 0x00 Disable sensor events 0x01 Radio config 0x02 Supervisory period. Default 19 hours. 0x03 Sampling rate ® Radio Bridge LoRaWAN Wireless Sensor Water Detect Sensor User Guide... - Page 19 COMMON MESSAGES Disable Sensor Events The following table shows the disable sensor event bit definitions. Description Not used Disable all sensor events 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)
- Page 20 COMMON MESSAGES Refer to the Battery Estimator for battery life estimates relative to sampling rate: https://radiobridge.com/documents/Sensor%20Battery%20Estimator.xlsx A value of 0 in this field leaves the sampling rate at the current value. Use the following table to determine the sampling rate if the value is not zero. Note: Sampling period only applies to sensors that take measurements like temperature and tilt, it does not apply to sensors with binary inputs such as door/window sensors or push buttons.

Page 21: Device Info Request
COMMON MESSAGES Device Info Request The Device Info Request command is a downlink to inform the gateway to report its downlink configuration information. Description 0x00 Downlink configuration type to request. 0-254: Request device info for specific downlink type to report. 255: Request device info for all downlink configurations. -
Page 22: Adr Advanced Configuration
COMMON MESSAGES ADR Advanced Configuration The ADR configuration message overrides the LoRaWAN ADR_ACK_LIMIT and ADR_ACK_DELAY parameters. Byte Description 0x00 ADR_ACK_LIMIT value when running in Unconfirmed Mode. The default value is 64. 0x01 ADR_ACK_DELAY value when running in Unconfirmed Mode. The default value is 32. 0x02 ADR_ACK_LIMIT value when running in Confirmed Mode. -
Page 23: 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 24: Chapter 5 - Sensor-Specific Messages
SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Chapter 5 – Sensor-Specific Messages Uplink Messages The following table shows sensor specific uplink messages (sensor to web application). Uplink messages common to all sensors are in the previous chapter.. Byte Description Water event Bits Description Unused Water or liquid not present Water or liquid present Relative measurement of the resistance between probes (scale of 0-255). -
