  • Page 5: Introduction

    Meter Compatibility The LoRa Module is compatible with Engelmann SensoStar meters with a compatible firmware version. If the LoRa Module is mounted in an incompatible meter, this is indicated in the OTC App. Table 2 shows the minimum firmware versions required.
  • Page 6: Getting Started

    Getting started Purpose This chapter provides instructions on how to get started with the LoRa Module. After reading and carefully following each step of this chapter, your meter connectivity module should be mounted and connected to the LoRaWAN network. Product specification (1) Green LED (2) Red LED (3) Interface Connector...
  • Page 7: Mount And Start-Up The Device

    Mount and start-up the device 5.3.1 Mounting Mount the LoRa Module in the module slot of Engelmann, see Figure 2 below.  Please make sure that the module’s push button (2) is facing upwards.  Please make sure that Interface connector of the meter (1) fits the Interface connector of the module (3).
  • Page 8 By using the Engelmann optical interface configuration tool “Device Monitor”. For further information please refer to Engelmann documentation. d) By using the meter menu. For further information please refer to Engelmann documentation. Network join When activated, the LoRa Module will attempt to join the LoRaWAN network by the following sequence: 1.
  • Page 9: Reboot/Switch Off Module

    5.3.4 Reboot/Switch off module Reboot Press and hold the push button (2) for 5-15 seconds. Release the button when the green LED is lit. Switch Off Press and hold the push button (2) for 15-20 seconds. Make sure to release the button when the red LED is lit. If releasing the push button after more than 20 seconds, the module will not switch off.
  • Page 10: Administration Reference

    The LoRa Module is configured via the Elvaco OTC app. It uses NFC to transfer settings to the module. Downlink may also be used to for some configurations, see section 6.3.1 Downlink for more information. The LoRa Module can also be configured using Engelmann optical interface configuration tool “Device Monitor”, for further information please refer to Engelmann documentation.

  • Page 13: Adaptive Data Rate (Adr)

    When EcoMode is active, the module has a battery lifetime of 6+1 or 10+1 years, depending on what EcoMode alternative is set. EcoMode setting is ignored when PSU (external power supply Engelmann) is connected. The module can achieve battery life of 6+1 or 10+1 years by using a table of allowed transmit intervals settings for each data rate.
  • Page 14: Message Formats

    6.6.1 Message structure Message formats Standard, Compact, Scheduled – Daily redundant, Scheduled Extended, Combined heat/cooling and Engelmann are encoded in M-Bus format (M-Bus standard EN 13757-3:2013). Message format JSON is encoded in JSON format. All messages begin with one byte specifying the message format used. All M-Bus encoded messages begin with one byte specifying the message format used.
