PS-LB -- LoRaWAN Air Water Pressure Sensor User Manual

The Dragino PS-LB series sensors are **LoRaWAN Pressure Sensor** for Internet of Things solution. PS-LB can measure Air, Water pressure and liquid level and upload the sensor data via wireless to LoRaWAN IoT server.

27

28

The PS-LB series sensors include **Thread Installation Type** and **Immersion Type**, it supports different pressure range which can be used for different measurement requirement.

29

30

The LoRa wireless technology used in PS-LB allows device to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.

31

32

PS-LB supports BLE configure and wireless OTA update which make user easy to use.

33

34

PS-LB is powered by **8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**, it is designed for long term use up to 5 years.

35

36

Each PS-LB is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

= 2. Configure PS-LB to connect to LoRaWAN network =

254

255

== 2.1 How it works ==

256

257

258

The PS-LB is configured as **LoRaWAN OTAA Class A** mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and activate the PS-LB. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20 minutes.

== 2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA) ==

263

264

265

Following is an example for how to join the [[TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network>>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]]. Below is the network structure; we use the [[LPS8v2>>url:https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/228-lps8v2.html]] as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.

266

267

268

[[image:1675144005218-297.png]]

269

270

271

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to [[TTN network >>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]], so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

272

273

274

**Step 1**: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from PS-LB.

275

276

Each PS-LB is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

277

278

[[image:image-20230131134744-2.jpeg]]

You can enter this key in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:

304

305

**Step 2**: Activate on PS-LB

306

307

308

Press the button for 5 seconds to activate the PS-LB.

309

310

**Green led** will fast blink 5 times, device will enter **OTA mode** for 3 seconds. And then start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. **Green led** will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.

311

312

After join success, it will start to upload messages to TTN and you can see the messages in the panel.

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

317

318

319

Uplink payloads have two types:

320

321

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

322

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

323

324

The application server should parse the correct value based on FPORT settings.

325

326

327

=== 2.3.1 Device Status, FPORT~=5 ===

328

329

330

Include device configure status. Once PS-LB Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server.

331

332

Users can also use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask PS-LB to resend this uplink.

=== 2.3.4 Probe Model ===

425

426

427

PS-LB has different kind of probe, 0~~20mA represent the full scale of the measuring range. So a 15mA output means different meaning for different probe.

For example.

(% border="1" cellspacing="4" style="background-color:#f7faff; color:black; width:510px" %)

433

|(% style="width:111px" %)**Part Number**|(% style="width:158px" %)**Probe Used**|**0~~20mA scale**|**Example: 10mA meaning**

434

|(% style="width:111px" %)PS-LB-I3|(% style="width:158px" %)immersion type with 3 meters cable|0~~3 meters|1.5 meters pure water

435

|(% style="width:111px" %)PS-LB-I5|(% style="width:158px" %)immersion type with 5 meters cable|0~~5 meters|2.5 meters pure water

436

437

The probe model field provides the convenient for server to identical how it should parse the 0~~20mA sensor value and get the correct value.

438

439

440

=== 2.3.5 0~~20mA value (IDC_IN) ===

441

442

443

The output value from Pressure Probe, use together with Probe Model to get the pressure value or water level.

**Example**:

27AE(H) = 10158 (D)/1000 = 10.158mA.

448

449

450

=== 2.3.6 0~~30V value ( pin VDC_IN) ===

451

452

453

Measure the voltage value. The range is 0 to 30V.

**Example**:

138E(H) = 5006(D)/1000= 5.006V

458

459

460

=== 2.3.7 IN1&IN2&INT pin ===

461

462

463

IN1 and IN2 are used as digital input pins.

**Example**:

09 (H) :(0x09&0x08)>>3=1 IN1 pin is high level.

468

469

09 (H) :(0x09&0x04)>>2=0 IN2 pin is low level.

470

471

472

This data field shows if this packet is generated by **Interrupt Pin** or not. [[Click here>>path:#Int_mod]] for the hardware and software set up. Note: The Internet Pin is a separate pin in the screw terminal.

**Example:**

09 (H) : (0x09&0x02)>>1=1 The level of the interrupt pin.

477

478

09 (H) : 0x09&0x01=1 0x00: Normal uplink packet.

479

480

0x01: Interrupt Uplink Packet.

481

482

483

=== 2.3.8 Decode payload in The Things Network ===

486

While using TTN network, you can add the payload format to decode the payload.

506

507

**Step 1: **Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the network at this time.

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

789

790

791

PS-LB is equipped with a [[8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery>>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w9l2oa3ytpculph/AAAPtt-apH4lYfCj-2Y6lHvQa?dl=0]]. The battery is un-rechargeable battery with low discharge rate targeting for 8~~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT target for long-term running, such as water meter.

792

793

794

The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.

799

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

805

806

807

Any battery with range 2.45 ~~ 3.6v can be a replacement. We recommend to use Li-SOCl2 Battery.

808

809

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

11. Power Consumption Analyze

815

816

Dragino Battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.

817

818

819

Instruction to use as below:

820

821

822

Step 1: Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:

823

824

[[https:~~/~~/www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/]]

825

826

827

Step 2: Open it and choose

* Product Model

* Uplink Interval

* Working Mode

And the Life expectation in difference case will be shown on the right.

111. Battery Note

The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period application. It is not good to use a high current, short period transmit method. The recommended minimum period for use of this battery is 5 minutes. If you use a shorter period time to transmit LoRa, then the battery life may be decreased.

1.

11.

111. Replace the battery

862

863

You can change the battery in the PS-LB.The type of battery is not limited as long as the output is between 3v to 3.6v. On the main board, there is a diode (D1) between the battery and the main circuit. If you need to use a battery with less than 3.3v, please remove the D1 and shortcut the two pads of it so there won’t be voltage drop between battery and main board.

864

865

866

The default battery pack of PS-LB includes a ER26500 plus super capacitor. If user can’t find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most case. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high frequency use (update period below 5 minutes)
