This document describes the technical opera�on of the LoRaWAN-connected, interconnected, NFC- configurable smoke detector. The range comprises 4 products, depending on the temperature/humidity sensor integra�on and the power source (sealed or replaceable batery). Model Name T°/Hum Power Sealed batteries Replaceable battery X870LS Origin+ ● ● X865LS Origin ● X860LS Guard+ ●...
Recurring and / or prolonged use in this excep�onal environment can reduce batery life and therefore detectors autonomy. Residual batery es�ma�on may also be wrong outside standard domes�c environment. > Rela�ve humidity: from 0 to 99% RH (non-condensing) CERTIFICATIONS Applicable cer�fica�ons and associated declara�ons of conformity are available on the Nexelec support website support.nexelec.fr D974A_ORIGIN+_ORIGIN_GUARD+_GUARD_Lora_Technical_Guide_EN_P ublic...

10/10/2023 Place the detector on the moun�ng base, then turn it a quarter-turn to the right to secure it. You should hear a “click”, indica�ng that the detector is secured to the base. Check that the detector is securely fixed to the wall or ceiling. Warning - If the detector is fixed with the adhesive mount, do not turn it too much, as this may twist the mount.

10/10/2023 — 03. Automa�c network connec�on Once powered, the product: > Ini�alizes for approx. 5 seconds: steady reverse orange LED > Atempts to connect to the LoRaWAN network on: o Detec�on of a magnet base o A�er a short press on the botom buton o 30 seconds a�er powering the product if necessary The reverse LED displays the stages of the product ini�aliza�on and connec�on phase: At the end of the connec�on phase (approx.
10/10/2023 III. Main butons and LEDs The main buton is located on the front of the product. Mode Support type Ac�on generated Reverse LED 2 successive flashes of the LED, repeated 5 �mes: • Manual test LoRa OK, Interconnec�on OK •...
10/10/2023 Specific to ORIGIN + and GUARD+ products “Periodic data” message containing temperature and humidity is also generated (Refer to sec�on XI.4.5. Periodic data). Temperature and humidity data measured a�er a product test are also available in NFC. — 03. Product maintenance The product must be dusted every year to ensure correct opera�on.
10/10/2023 IV. Reverse butons and LEDs The secondary buton is located at the rear of the product. An object (pen, paper clip, etc.) is required to ac�vate the buton. The sequence of ac�ons induced by the use of the reverse buton can be observed on the reverse LED, located next to the reverse buton.
10/10/2023 V. Product opera�on – Normal mode Product is working locally as a standalone smoke alarm by ac�va�ng its sounder and LED when smoke is detected. A LoRa “Smoke Alarm” message (Refer to sec�on XI.4.3. Smoke alarm status) is sent twice at 20 seconds intervals a�er the smoke alarm ac�va�on occurs.
10/10/2023 VI. Interconnec�on with DAAF and accessories The detectors provide an interconnec�on func�on that allows to connect others detectors and accessories (e.g remote control, terminals). This func�on allows the alarm to be spread throughout a network of detectors and to be silenced remotely. 1.

10/10/2023 VII. Product opera�on – Specific features to interconnected mode Glossary for interconnected mode: Detecting devices: products that detect smoke. Smoke detec�on triggers sounder and LED. Repeating devices: products that repeat the alarm without detec�ng smoke. The red LED remains OFF as long as no smoke is detected.
10/10/2023 2. Main push buton — 01. Short press PAUSE ALARM IN ADVANCE Pressing the buton only pauses the local smoke detec�on. Having paused a product won't avoid its alarm to be triggered if another product detects smoke in the network. Example- STOP ALARM ONCE ACTIVATED Short press on a repea�ng product only stops its own smoke alarm.
10/10/2023 Example- — 02. Long press To test all the products in a network, press the buton of a single product un�l all the alarms sound (within 1 minute maximum). A LoRa “Smoke alarm” message is sent by all products to indicate a test has been done (Refer to sec�on XI.4.3. Smoke alarm status).
10/10/2023 VIII. Air quality analysis ORIGIN+ and GUARD+ embeds a temperature/humidity sensor that enables air quality analysis. Depending on the use-cases, you can select the appropriate func�on to get temperature / humidity. More details are available on sec�on XI.3. Descrip�on of data transmission modes). Precision Measuring Type...
2. Es�ma�ng my product’s autonomy An online calcula�on tool is available : https://nexelec-support.fr/n/volt/ It allows you to evaluate product autonomy according to transmission modes, network parameters. You can also access it by scanning the Qr Code: 3. Factors influencing product autonomy —...

10/10/2023 — 02. LoRaWAN network coverage quality LoRaWAN technology uses a mechanism called ADR, which adapts radio transmission parameters according to the level of network coverage. A product placed in an environment with very good radio coverage can consume up to 20 �mes less energy than a sensor placed in a less favorable environment. Your product’s radio coverage is therefore a decisive factor in determining its autonomy.

10/10/2023 — 03. Schedule a recommissioning You can schedule a join request via a downlink command. The typical use case is when you want to switch from a server to another. A configura�on message is sent twice to confirm the ac�va�on of the scheduling (Refer to sec�on XI.4.1.
