250

251

The PS-LB is configured as (% style="color:#037691" %)**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) ==

255

256

257

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.

259

261

262

263

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.

264

265

266

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1:**(%%) Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from PS-LB.

=== 2.3.4 Probe Model ===

409

410

411

PS-LB has different kind of probe, 4~~20mA represent the full scale of the measuring range. So a 12mA output means different meaning for different probe.

For example.

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

417

|**Part Number**|**Probe Used**|**4~~20mA scale**|**Example: 12mA meaning**

420

|PS-LB-T20-B|T20 threaded probe|0~~1MPa|0.5MPa air / gas or water pressure

421

= 3. Configure PS-LB via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink =

567

568

569

Use can configure PS-LB via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

570

571

* AT Command Connection: See [[FAQ>>||anchor="H7.FAQ"]].

572

* LoRaWAN Downlink instruction for different platforms: See [[IoT LoRaWAN Server>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]] section.

573

574

There are two kinds of commands to configure PS-LB, they are:

575

576

* (% style="color:#037691" %)**General Commands**

577

578

These commands are to configure:

579

580

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

581

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

582

583

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack. These commands can be found on the wiki:

724

Users need to configure this parameter according to the type of external probe. In this way, the server can decode according to this value, and convert the current value output by the sensor into water depth or pressure value.

725

726

**AT Command: AT** **+PROBE**

AT+PROBE=aabb

When aa=00, it is the water depth mode, and the current is converted into the water depth value; bb is the probe at a depth of several meters.

731

When aa=01, it is the pressure mode, which converts the current into a pressure value;

733

734

bb represents which type of pressure sensor it is.

802

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

803

804

805

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.

806

807

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

808

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

818

819

820

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

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

855

856

857

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.

858

859

860

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

861

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

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)
