To use this product, please refer step by step to the below instructions.

1.  Quick Guide

Reading time: 10 minutes
Finish this part so you can understand and put the sensor in operation with the default configuration from the factory.

1.1 What is the LoRaWAN AG Tilt Sensor and its principle of operation?

WSLRW-AG is a LoRaWAN Tilt Sensor that can measure 3 tilt angles X, Y, and Z of any object such as a Tower, Building, Tree, Electricity Tower, Telecom Tower, Bridges... The Tilt sensor utilizes the combination of an advanced Accelerometer and Gyro meter to deliver high accuracy and stable measurement of the Tilt angle of 03 axis X, Y, and Z. With Ultra-low Power design and smart firmware allows the sensor can last up to 10 years with 02 x AA-type battery (depends on configuration). The sensor will transmit data in kilo-meters distance to the LoRaWAN gateway, any brand on the market.

Please refer to this link for the AG Tilt Sensor's principle operation.

1.1.1 What are the typical applications of this sensor?

Please refer to this link for typical applications.

1.1.2 When does the device send uplink messages?

The device will send uplink messages in the following cases:

  • Case 1: After power-up in the 60s, the device will send the first message called START_UP. The payload will tell the user the HW version, FW version, and current configuration of the device;

  • Case 2: Then, in every interval time (pre-configured), for example, 10 minutes, it will send the message called CYCLIC_DATA. The payload will tell the user the following data like measured values, battery level, alarm status...

To change the cycle of data sending, you can change the value of the parameter: CYCLIC_DATA_PERIOD (default is 600 seconds).

  • Case 3: During commissioning, testing, or calibration sensor, the user can force the device to send the uplink message to get the data immediately. This message is called FORCE_DATA. The payload will provide data like raw measured value, scaled measured values, battery level, alarm status... It can be forced by applying the magnet key on the reed switch in 1s;

  • Case 4: If users want to change the configuration immediately, they don't need to wait until the next cyclic data sending message, instead they can force the device to send a special uplink message so that the device can get the new downlink message. This uplink message is named PARAMETERS_UPDATE. It can be forced by applying the magnet key in more than 5s.
1.1.3 The important configuration parameters

The sensor was pre-configured at the factory with default values for configuration parameters that meet most use cases. However, depending on the specific use case, the customer can adjust those parameters. Please refer to section 3.2 for more details.

    1.1.4 What kind of battery is used for this sensor?

    The sensor is powered by 2 x AA 1.5V batteries for many years of operation. We recommend using Energizer L91 battery which is very popular and high performance. This battery has a capacity of up to 3500mAh with a working temperature range from -40 to +60 oC. The instruction for installing the batteries is in this link.

    1.2 What's in the package?

    The package includes:
    01 x Main device
    01 x Magnet key
    01 x Wall mounting bracket and screws

    1.3 Quick Test for LoRaWAN Sensor

    With the default configuration, the device can be connected quickly to the Network Server by the following steps.

    Step 1: Prepare the values of communication settings:
    Frequency zone Most of the sensor was configured the frequency zone to suit customer application before delivery
    DevEUI Get the DevEUI on the product nameplate
    AppEUI Default value: 010203040506070809
    AppKey Default value: 0102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F10
    Activation Mode OTAA with local join server
    Network Mode Public
    LoraWAN Protocol version 1.0.3
    Class  A

    Note: If the above settings do not match your network server/application, please refer to section 3.2 Sensor configuration to change the settings

    Step 2: Register the device on the LoRaWAN network server.

    Input the above settings on your device registration page of the network server.

    Note: Different network server software will have different device registration processes. Please refer to the manual of the network server software used for more details.

    Please visit this link to get the instructions for adding the LoRaWAN sensors to some common network servers such as Actility, TTN...

    Step 3: Install the batteries to the device

    Refer to this link for details.

    After installing the battery in 60 seconds, the first data packet will be sent to the LoRaWAN gateway. After receiving the first data packet, the time of another packet depends on the value of the parameter: cycle_send_data. Additionally, you can use a Magnet Key to force the device to send data instantly.

    Step 4: Decode the payload of receiving package

    Please refer to section 1.4 Uplink Payload and Data Decoding for details of decoding the receiving packet.

    1.4 Uplink Payload and Data Decoding 

    Note: Please select the right Payload document to suit the FW version of the sensor

    3. Advanced Guide 

    3.1 Operating principle of LoRaWAN AG Tilt Sensor

    3.1.1 Operating principle of the complete device

    The Daviteq LoRaWAN AG Tilt Sensor comprises 02 parts linked internally:

    - The Daviteq LoRaWAN wireless transmitter;
    - The Daviteq AG tilt sensor; 

    WSLRW-AG_en_1-3.jpg

    TZS111_Using_An_Fig_12.jpg

    The AG Tilt sensor module measures the Acceleration of the 3-axis.

    The LoRaWAN wireless transmitter is to read the measurement values from the AG sensor and performs the calculation to deliver the desired output values, then it sends data to the gateway in the following cases:

    -        Case 1: when the time of the Data sending cycle is reached.

    -        Case 2: when the device is forced to send data by a Magnet key.

    3.1.2 Operating principle of AG Tilt sensor

    To understand how the AG Tilt sensor work, please refer to this link for a complete understanding of this measuring technique.

    3.1.3 Some important configuration parameters

    Below are some important configuration parameters which affect the operation of the device.

    • measure_period | Default = 600s
      This is the time period for the wireless transmitter to wake up and take the measurement from the sensor. The default value is 600s. Users can reduce this value, but smaller value, shorter battery life!

    • cyclic_data_period | Default = 600s
      Interval time to send an uplink message regardless of any conditions

    Those configuration parameters can be changed by downlink or offline tools. For more other configuration parameters, please refer to the next section.

    3.2 Sensor Configuration

    3.2.1 How to configure the LoRaWAN sensor?
