PRESENTATION Telik Trafo Lite is an IoT device for temperature monitoring in transformers. It is easy to install, with magnetic fastening, attached to the transformer in a non-invasive way. Besides being compact and robust, it was developed with extremely low power consumption techniques and is powered by two non-rechargeable batteries that have a useful lifespan of 5 to 10 years (depending on the configuration applied and the signal quality).
The device housing is made of Polycarbonate, a material with V0 flame retardant and UVA/UVB protection, and has been designed to meet IP66 protection. This allows Telik Trafo Lite to be exposed to the weather. The sealing system has a silicone seal between the cover and the base of the housing.
IDENTIFICATION The identification label, located on the back of the Telik Trafo Lite housing, contains its model, serial number and DevEUI. This data, along with "JoinEUI" and "AppKey", is required to register the device on the Network Server. For security reasons, only the DevEUI is shown on the label.
NXperience to change the JoinEUI and AppKey values. Once Telik Trafo Lite has been registered, simply turn it on using the Power key and wait for the status LED to indicate the three blinks code 3 (see...
Optimized lifespan is an important feature of battery powered LoRaWAN devices. The Telik Trafo Lite batteries have a low discharge rate, aiming for 8 to 10 years of autonomy. Depending on the configuration of the device, this period can be even longer.
After connection, the status LED will operate for only 1 minute. After this period, it will remain off. To verify whether Telik Trafo Lite is on or off, give a quick click on the Power key. If the LED lights up while the key is pressed, the device is on.
Once the installation head is attached to the operating pole and attached to the front of the Telik Trafo Lite, you can install it in the transformer: Figure 10 – Accessory installation 4.2.3 TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION Before connecting the Telik Trafo Lite to the operating pole and installing the device in the transformer, you must ensure that it is registered on the...
To access it, you must remove the four screws from the back of the housing and remove the front cover. You can use the USB interface to update firmware, configure and perform diagnostics on the device using the NXperience software (see chapter). To connect your Telik Trafo Lite to a computer, use a micro-USB cable (not supplied). CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE When closing the housing, please check the position of the silicone seal.

To minimize data loss, Telik Trafo Lite has an internal memory that, when in confirmation mode, allows to store up to 10 messages for later retransmission (in case the device does not receive confirmation of the messages sent). This feature can increase the number of messages transmitted on the network and, consequently, produce a possible additional cost in the LoRaWAN plan, as well as increase battery consumption and decrease autonomy.

.brf, a useful function for large-scale applications, since it makes it easier to manage the number of registered Telik Trafo Lite. Then, just click the Register in NOVUS Cloud button to continue the registration process. Figure 22 – Scanning one or more QR Codes To register the device in NOVUS Cloud, it will be necessary to have a previous register in NOVUS Cloud.

Once the device or devices are successfully registered, it is possible to save the registration information in a file with extension .brf, which can be shared. From this moment on, Telik Trafo Lite will be registered in NOVUS Cloud and its information will be systematically sent to the cloud.
7.4.2 REGISTRATION VIA NOVUS CLOUD Instead of using NXperience Mobile, it is also possible to register your Telik Trafo Lite directly on the NOVUS Cloud web page. To do so, you must access the link https://iot2.novusautomation.com/, log in with your account, and go to the Add Device option, located in the left corner of the page, as shown in the figure below: Figure 26 –...
Through NOVUS Cloud dashboard, you can monitor the local and transformer temperature, the battery level of the device, internal temperature values, and even make comparisons between local temperature versus transformer temperature. These and all other specific NOVUS Cloud features can be viewed in the specific operation manual, available on the product page of NOVUS website. NOVUS AUTOMATION...

LORA CONNECTIVITY PLAN To communicate with the network and for the data to reach the application, Telik Trafo Lite needs a LoRaWAN connectivity plan. For this, it is necessary to contract a connectivity plan with a closed Network Server, such as Everynet, or use an open Network Server, such as TTN, with its own or a third-party Gateway.
10.1 WIRELESS CONECTIVITY Telik Trafo Lite has an embedded wireless connectivity module to communicate with LoRaWAN networks. The device uses a WLR089U0 connectivity module, produced by the Microchip manufacturer, that offers LoRaWAN connectivity for different areas. The Telik Trafo Lite application limits the operation in specific regions, according to user configuration and/or different model devices that meets the specific requirements of each country.
