Input Change of State monitoring
enLink Status-P counts pulses or monitors Change of State on up
to three channels and transmits the accumulated data to the cloud
using long range LoRaWAN wireless, where it can be displayed and
analysed.
Battery powered, enLink Pulse is the easiest way to access your
energy data in real time. Meter consumption data and input state
is transmitted using long range LoRa wireless for integration with
cloud services to reveal operational performance and generate
alerts.
The units are battery powered with long life of 3+ years
A built in USB port allows all parameters including pulse counts,
operational mode, switch debounce period, sampling interval,
wireless signal strength and wireless network configuration to be
viewed and set using simple menus via any USB enabled host,
such as a PC or Mac.

Summary of Contents for Synetica enLink Status-P
- Page 1 Up to 3 pulse inputs • Input Change of State monitoring enLink Status-P counts pulses or monitors Change of State on up Features to three channels and transmits the accumulated data to the cloud using long range LoRaWAN wireless, where it can be displayed and •...
- Page 2 Introduction enLink Status-P Pulse counter accumulates pulse counts on up to three channels and can optionally monitor Change of State on the inputs. Common applications for the pulse counter are energy monitoring and water consumption monitoring. The unit counts the number of pulses received from a meter and transmits the data using long range LoRaWAN wireless so the consumption can be monitored and controlled.
- Page 3 When the device has successfully joined the network, the Mode LED will blink GREEN five times to show that the join has been completed. The LED’s will then switch off to conserve the batteries. Blinking Green LED – Device Successfully Joined SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 3...
- Page 4 Setting / changing the enLink LoRaWAN keys For many applications, Synetica can supply enLink units with the LoRaWAN AppEUI and AppKey parameters pre- configured to your requirements, whereby if the LoRa gateway has matching keys the join process will happen automatically once the unit is in wireless range and switched on.
- Page 5 The header will show ** Reboot Required ** as shown below. The new key settings will not take effect until the enLink device is restarted. Enter R to reboot followed by OK. The device will restart with the entered AppEUI and AppKey and attempt to join the LoRa network. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 5...
- Page 6 Select a fixed transmit interval from the menu options. 15 minutes or longer is recommended to extend battery life. For Change of State monitoring, you must select Adaptive. See section 7 for more details. Press X to return to the Quick Start Settings Menu. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 6...
- Page 7 Z can be used to reset all pulse counters to zero. D1, D2, D3, or DA can be used to set the switch debounce period for each channel independently or for all channels at once. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 7...
- Page 8 The debounce time can be independently set for each channel for periods of between 10mS to 250mS, however this should be used with caution as it can cause mis-counts. Leave this setting at 30mS to match the S0 standard requirements. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 8...

When Transmit on Change of State is enabled you must also enable Adaptive Transmit Intervals as shown below. Enter Q to enter the Quick Start Menu. Quick Start Settings Menu Access the Transmit Interval setting by entering t. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 9... - Page 10 The Adaptive Max interval acts like a heartbeat, so if no Change of State occurs then a message is sent at the Adaptive Max interval.

- Page 11 The pulse counts for each channel are written to non-volatile memory every 5 – 10 minutes. Pulse counts are therefore preserved between resets and battery changes. The pulse count values can be manually set and reset using the options detailed above. SYNETICA enLink Status-P User Guide Rev 1.5 Page | 11...
