PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide History Version Date Changes 2019-05 Initial draft Added UART port configuration content 2020-04 Typographic modification Editorial corrections 2020-08 Updating of contents Updating new LoRaWAN module 2020-08 Updating of contents 2021-1 Upgrade the server platform information.
Parameters Configuration PULSE915-LRW supports UART port wired or wireless parameter configuration. We can query and write parameters like initial reading, pulse constant, RTC real-time clock, pulse type (single or double pulse), sensor type (hall or reed switch) and some LoRaWAN information.
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide Software Interface Introduction 2.3.1 COM Section UART: Select the configuration tool or device serial port number. Baudrate: Select the baud rate of the configuration tool or device. Mode: Select wired configuration mode or wireless configuration mode, according to the device model NO., select the corresponding mode.
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide 2.3.3 METER Section Pulse: Fill in the number of pulses to set the initial flow value. The initial total number of pulses = initial dosage * pulse constant. Example: the reading of water meter is 713.0m³, the pulse constant of water meter is 10.Hence, the pulse number is: 713.0 x 10=7130.
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide 2.3.4 RADIO PRARM Section Band: Set the device frequency band. Please pay attention to regional spectrum control. Class: Select the working mode, it is recommended to use the CLASS A mode. ADR: Data rate adaptive function, the network will optimize the rate after it is turned on.
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide 2.3.5 INFORMATION Section ALL READ: Read all parameters. ALL set: All parameter settings. Set RTC: Set the device clock. After all the parameters are set, please set the device clock so that the data will be reported according to the reporting cycle.

Hold a magnet close to the red area shown in Figure 2-1. Within 4 to 9 seconds, remove the magnet and PULSE915-LRW will enter configuration mode. Importantly, the magnet provided is a strong magnet, hence the magnet needs to be removed out of the area as the defined time range for the specific function, otherwise, PULSE915 will continuously be triggered and automatically enter to the other mode.

PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide Step 4: In configuration mode, various commands can be set for PULSE915-LRW through the configuration software. For example, clicking on various query buttons returns the corresponding value. Parameters such as initial meter index data, pulse weight, clock, sensor type and measurement mode can be configured in “Metering parameter”...

PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide Step 5: Parameters such as reporting period, device address and data format can be set. We just need to click the corresponding button on the right to set the parameters. Data report time o’clock in minutes can be set according to customer requirements. For example, set as 1440 minutes that indicates 24 hours.

PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide Step 6: In the “JoinParam” area, users can read and set join mode, DevEui, DevAddr, AppEui and APPKEY parameters of the LoRaWAN module. If the user select the module in OTAA mode, you can set the DevEui, AppEui and AppKey parameters.
Page 17
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide Users also can Set by using AT command, for example: AT+JOINMODE=0 (Set OTAA mode) Set APPEUI [<- 11:52:08.301] AT+APPEUI=1122334455667788 [-> 11:52:08.375] OK Set APPKEY [<- 11:52:36.821] AT+APPKEY=11223344556677889900112233445566 [-> 11:52:36.895] OK After setting the join mode, DevEui, AppEui and other parameters, user need Set Rtc and save the parameters.

PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide The network access will begin when exit the configuration mode. (If the product does not receive a configuration command in 30 seconds, it will exit the configuration mode) When you received the uplink message on the Network server, indicating that you have joined the Network.
PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide The user can read and set the parameters by sending AT commands at the serial transmission area. For details of AT commands, please refer to the PULSE915-LRW user manual. Curve Frame Configuration Guide The Pulse 915-LRW divides a day into 96 time points evenly, and the interval between time points It is 15 minutes, as shown in the table below.

PULSE915-LRW Configuration Guide E.g: [<- 16:45:53.584] AT+UAT2=09:15 [-> 16:45:53.624] OK [<- 16:45:59.448] AT+UAT2? ( This command is to check the reporting time) [-> 16:45:59.524] +UAT2: Alarm 3 17:00:00, Upload 09:15:00 + 11min 7.Click All Save Recommended configuration steps for custom curve reporting mode.
Make sure that a LoRaWAN gateway has already been connected and added to the server. This communication example is based on the Friendcom’s GW300 gateway. Step 1:Configure the corresponding parameters of the GW300 gateway. Taking European region as an example, the setting parameters are shown in the figure below:...
