2. Introduction

WSLRW-ULC is LoRaWAN Ultrasonic Level Sensor to measure the level of liquid surface of water, oil... This level sensor utilises the ultrasonic technology to measure the surface of liquid, the principle is to measure the time of flight of the ultrasound pulse in the air environment. The ultrasound pulse will be ejected from ultrasonic transducer, go thru the air and reaching the surface of liquid, then reflected back to the ultrasonic transducer, the measuring circuit will measure the time of flight of the Pulse then calculate the distance from transducer to the surface. With Ultra-low Power design and smart firmware allow the sensor can last up to 10 years with 02 x AA-type batteries (depends on configuration). The sensor will transmit data in kilo-meters distance to LoRaWAN gateway, any brand on the market.

4.2 The principle of operation of the LoRaWAN sensor

When starting the power supply, the LoRaWAN sensor has 60 seconds to allow configuration to operate via the Configuration Cable with the Modbus RTU protocol. After 60 seconds, the first packet will be sent, then the LoRaWAN sensor will send the next packets in the following cases:

  • Case 1:
    • When it reaches the frequency of taking data, the LoRaWAN sensor will wake up to measure and calculate. Then:
      • If the measured value exceeds the High or Low setting thresholds, the packet will be sent to the Gateway and then asleep;
      • If NOT then sleep without sending data.

        NOTE:

        Once sending the data to Gateway by this alarm event, the timer of sending time interval will be reset;

  • Case 2: When the sending time interval is reached, the LoRaWAN sensor wakes up to measure and calculate and send data to Gateway immediately, regardless of value.
  • Case 3: By using the magnet key, the LoRaWAN sensor can be triggered to send data to Gateway immediately.

NOTE:

The time between sending data for Class A is at least 3 seconds

WSSFCEX-PPS-H9.png

WSLRW-AG-H12.png WSLRW-AG-H13.png

4.3 Principle of operation LoRaWAN Network

WSLRW-PPS-H6.png

The LoRaWAN Gateway function is Packet Forwarder so:

  • Between Gateway and End Device: Gateway receives data packets from End Device via RF connection, so it is recommended to configure Radio parameters (Note: the packet that Gateway receives is encrypted)
  • Between Gateway and Network Server: Gateway forwards data packets to the Network server via an IP connection, so it is recommended to configure Network parameters such as Server Address, Server Uplink Port, Server Downlink Port,...

LoRaWAN Network is secured as follows:

  • Network section key (NwkSKey) to ensure the security of communications on the Network
  • The application session key (AppSKey) to ensure data security between End Device and Application Server
  • Special keys of the device such as DevEUI, AppEUI, Gateway EUI, Device Address. Therefore, the data packet that the Gateway receives is encrypted and decrypted on the Application server.

To End Device connect to the Network server, you need to register in the following two ways:

  • Activation with OTAA (Over-the-Air activation): is the process of joining the Network automatically. Previously, both End Device and Application Server installed the same DevEUI code, AppEUI, and AppKey. During activation, AppKey will generate 2 security keys for End Device and Network, which are:
    • The network session key (NwkSKey): is the key to secure communication commands on the MAC layer between the End Device and the Network server.
    • The application session key (AppSKey): is the key to secure data packets between the End Device and Application server.

ATTENTIONS:

* OTAA mode must be successfully activated in order for the End Device to send data packets to the Network through the Gateway;

* OTAA mode only need to activate once, if the device is reset or battery replacement, it will activate OTAA again;

* When the End Device is connected to the Network server, whether the Gateway is reset or the power is restarted, it will not need to activate OTAA.

  • Activation by ABP (Activation by Personalization): is the process of joining the Network manually. Device Address, Network session key (NwkSKey), and Application session key (AppSKey) codes must be stored inside the End Device and Application server, so when the End Device sends data packets to the network server, it will also send the security codes to activate.

4.4 Configure the LoRaWAN Network

4.4.1 Configure End Device operation according to OTAA

Configuration parameters for the End Device to be activated by OTAA as the table below:

=> Used to install for both the Device and Application Server End

ATTENTIONS:

* The AppEUI number from Application Server => then installed for the End Device. AppEUI is randomly generated by the Application server or by the user;

* The number of AppKeys during OTAA activation will generate two security keys, Lora NwkSKey and AppSKey, which are used for both End Device and Network.

4.5 LED meaning

  • RED LED: 

    • Fixed ON: due to noise caused peripheral components (i2c, spi, uart, timer, rtc, wdt, ...) do not initialize.
    • Flashing 10ms ON / 10s OFF: Activation by OTAA on the Network server failed.
    • Flashing 10ms ON / 2s OFF:  Sending a data packet to Gateway failed.
  • GREEN LED: Flashing 100ms ON / OFF when sending a data packet to Gateway.
  • BLUE LED:
    • Flashing 1s ON / 1s OFF for the first 60 seconds when booting (insert batteries or connected external sources), after 60 seconds OFF.
    • ON during the LoRaWAN sensor receives data packets from the Network server and OFF when received.

4.6 The Effective Detection Range

WSSFC-ULC-H18.png

4.7 Process of measurement

When the LoRa sensor wakes up, it will supply power to the internal or external sensor so that the sensor can start measuring. After measuring successfully it will turn off the power to the sensor for energy saving.

The measured value is the raw value of the sensor. The measured value can be scaled according to the following formula:

Y = aX + b

          • X: the raw value from the sensor
          • Y: the calculated value will be sent to LoRaWAN Gateway in the payload data.
          • a: constant (default value is 1)
          • b: constant (default value is 0)

So, if there is no user setting for a and b ==> Y = X

The Y value will be compared with Lo and Hi threshold. Please refer below the graph of alarm processing.

4.8 Calibration

WSSFC-ULC-H19.png

Figure – Ultrasonic Level Transmitter Calibration

  • DB: Dead band 0..280 mm (This is a short range in front of the ultrasonic sensor can not measure distances)
  • H: Maximum measuring distance ( Span )
  • D: Distance

WSSFC-ULC-H21.png

For example: Water tank with maximum height to be measured 3000mm (H) and Dead band (DB) is 280 mm, then:

WSSFC-ULC-H20.PNG

From here we can look up the water level corresponding to the measured distance of the sensor by the formula: Y = aX + b.

Where: X is the measured distance (mm) and Y is the level (‰)

Distance (mm) Level (‰)
280 1000
500 919
1000 735
1500 552
2000 368
2500 184
3000 0

Use the offline configuration tool to configure sigfox sensor. Write in the sensor the parameters a and b.

Refer to Resigter table for more details.

6. Installation

6.1 Example application

WSLRW-ULC-H3.png WSLRW-ULC-H2.png

6.2 Process mounting

WSLRW-ULC-H5.png

WARNINGS:

1. Please make sure the fluid is suitable with the wetted materials of the sensor. Please refer sensor specification;
2. Please make sure that the operating ambient temperature is right for the sensor. Please refer to the sensor's specifications;
3. Prepare the professional tools for installation. The inappropriate tools may cause damage to the sensor.

WSLRW-ULC-H6.png

6.3 Installation location

To maximize the distance of transmission, the ideal condition is Line-of-sight (LOS) between the LoRaWAN sensor and Gateway. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the LoRaWAN sensor still communicates with Gateway, but the distance will be reduced significantly.

ATTENTION:

DO NOT
install the LoRaWAN sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because the RF signal can not pass through the metallic wall. The housing is made from Non-metallic materials like plastic, glass, wood, leather, concrete, cement…is acceptable.

    WSLRW-ULC-H4.png

    6.4 Battery installation

    WSLRW-AG-H7.png

    Steps for battery installation:

    Step 1: Using L hex key to unscrew M4 screws at the side of the housing and carefully pull out the top plastic housing in the vertical direction

    WSLRW-ULC-H9.png

    Step 2: Insert 02 x AA 1.5VDC battery, please take note the poles of the battery

    ATTENTION:

    REVERSED POLARITY OF BATTERIES IN 10 SECONDS CAN DAMAGE THE SENSOR CIRCUIT!!!

    WSSFC-ULC-H17.png

    Step 3: Insert the top plastic housing and locking by L hex key

    ATTENTION:

    When reinstalling the cover, pay attention to put the PCB edge into the middle slot of the box inside as shown below)

    7. Troubleshooting

    No. Phenomena Reason Solutions
    1 The BLUE LED does not blink when the battery is installed

    Insert the battery in the opposite direction

    Insert the battery in the correct way

    2 The RED LED is always on Due to noise, the peripheral components (i2c, spi, uart, ..) of RF module cannot be initialized After 30s the node will automatically reset. If the noise causes the Watchdog not to initialize, remove the battery and wait for more than 10 seconds, then insert the battery again
    3 The RED LED blinks continuously (10ms ON / 2s OFF) and the Node does not send RF. After more than 10 sending cycles, the Node will automatically reset
    • Operating frequency in that country is prohibited
    • Operating frequency in that country is limited to Data rate, Tx Power
    • Reconfigure the allowed frequency of operation
    • Reconfigure Data rate = DR5 / SF07, Tx Power
    4 RED LED blinks continuously (10ms ON / 2s OFF) and Node sends RF continuously 3s / time but no data. After more than 10 sending cycles, the Node will automatically reset

    Node runs dummy sending mode

    => sent by Gateway to send Downlink packets when users clear Uplink and Downlink counter values on Network Server (build-in Gateway) when activated by ABP

    Configuration enabled by OTAA
    5 The RED LED flashes 10ms ON / 10s OFF and the Node does not send RF Node activation by OTAA on Network server has not been successful

    Using Magnet-Key to force Node to send RF continuously for 3 seconds/time

    => when activating by OTAA successfully, the GREEN LED will blink after sending RF

    6 The node sent RF successfully but the GREEN LED did not blink LED is broken Warranty to replace LED
    7 The data packet taken from the Gateway has an incorrect value The data package is encrypted Get the decoded packet on the Application Server
    8 The node sends RF and activates by ABP, on Gateway receives data but the Application server has no data The application server still stores the counter values of the previous Uplink and Downlink Delete the counter values of Uplink and Downlink on the Application server
    9 The node does not send RF and the RF module is hot
    • Insert the battery in the opposite direction
    • Short circuit
    Warranty or replacement
    10

    The node does not send RF to Gateway according to the alarm, LED does not blink

    • The alarm configuration is incorrect
    • Running out of the number of alarms set for the day
    • Check alarm configuration
    • Check the configuration for the maximum number of alarms per day
    11

    The node does not send RF to Gateway when activated by the magnetic key, LED does not blink

    The magnetic sensor has malfunctioned

    Read the status of the magnetic sensor via Modbus (when powering or attaching the battery) to see if the magnetic sensor is working.

    12

    Node has blinked LED GREEN when sending RF but the Gateway or Application server cannot receive

    • LoRa module on the Gateway is faulty
    • The IP connection (4G / WiFi / ...) on the Gateway is faulty
    • Check Gateway's LoRa status lights on Gateway
    • Check 4G / WiFi status lights on Gateway
    13 The value of the sensor is 0 and sensor_type = 0xFF Lost connection with the sensor
    • Check sensor connection
    • Replace the module sensor
    14 RSSI is weak and often loses data
    • The distance between Node and Gateway is far or there are many obstructions
    • Connection to Antenna problem
    • Install metal nodes or in metal cabinets
    • Configure Data rate = DR0 / SF12
    • Check Antenna position
    • Install Node in a well-ventilated location
