1. Introduction R718PQA is a long-range wireless occupancy and door sensor for Netvox Class A type devices based on LoRaWAN open protocol. LoRa Wireless Technology LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long-distance and low power consumption. Compared with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation method greatly increases to expand the communication distance.
⚫ Configuration parameters can be configured through third-party software platforms, data can be read and alarms can be set via SMS text and email (optional) ⚫ Available third-party platforms: Actility / ThingPark, TTN, MyDevices/Cayenne ⚫ Low power consumption and longer battery life Note: Please visit http://www.netvox.com.tw/electric/electric_calc.html for more information about battery life.
4. Setup Instructions On/Off Power on Insert batteries. (Users may need a screwdriver to open) Turn on Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds till the green indicator flashes once. Turn off Press and hold the function key for 5 seconds until the green indicator flashes 20 times. (Reset to factory setting) Power off Remove Batteries.
* IRDisableTime must ≥ 5 s and IRDectionTime ≥ IRDisableTime Occupancy alarm: (1) R718PQA reports status =1 when both of the conditions are satisfied: (a) the PIR is triggered, and (b) the reed switch is closed in the following 10 seconds.

5.4 Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. BatteryVoltageChange=0.1V MaxTime MaxTime sleeping (MinTime) sleeping (MinTime) Wakes up and collect data Wakes up and collect data Wake up and collect data REPORTS 3.6V REPORTS 3.5V REPORTS 3.6V...

Notes: (1) The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime Interval. When it is sleeping, 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.
30% of IRDisableTime, IRDetectionTime restarts and continues until no motion is detected. R718PQA only reports status =1 when both of the conditions are satisfied: (a) the PIR is triggered, and (b) the reed switch is closed in the following 10 seconds.
7. Installation 2. Peel the backings off the double-sided tapes on reed switch 1. R718PQA has a built-in magnet (as the figure below). and magnet. Fix the reed switch and magnet on the door. When installed, it can be attached to the surface of an object with iron.

When installing the device, the magnet must move along the X axis relative to the sensor. If the magnet moves along the Y axis relative to the sensor, it will cause repeated reports due to the magnetic field. Note: a. Please do not disassemble the device unless it is required to replace the batteries. b.
8. 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.
9. Important Maintenance Instructions Kindly pay attention to the following in order to achieve the best maintenance of the product: • Keep the device dry. Rain, moisture, or any liquid might contain minerals and thus corrode electronic circuits. If the device gets wet, please dry it completely.
