  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction R718PE is a Class A device based on LoRaWAN open protocol of Netvox. R718PE is a wireless communication device that can detect liquid level and parking space. The device is connected to an ultrasonic sensor to detect its current liquid level or the status of parking space, and the detected data will be transmitted to other devices through the wireless network for display.

    Notes : 1) The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval. When it is on sleeping mode, it does not collect data. 2) The data collected is compared with the last data reported. If the data variation is greater than the ReportableChange value, the device reports according to MinTime interval.

If the top of the water tank cannot be opened, the hole made on the top of the water tank is recommended to be 45mm diameter. It is recommended to add a gasket (size: 32.4*57.4*3mm) between the hole and the sensor.

  • Page 21: Information About Battery Passivation

    9. Information about Battery Passivation Many Netvox devices are powered by 3.6V ER14505 Li-SOCl2 (lithium-thionyl chloride) batteries that offer many advantages including low self-discharge rate and high energy density. However, primary lithium batteries like Li-SOCl2 batteries will form a passivation layer as a reaction between the lithium anode and thionyl chloride if they are in storage for a long time or if the storage temperature is too high.
