LDDS20 - LoRaWAN Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor User Manual

The Dragino LDDS20 is a (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**LoRaWAN Ultrasonic liquid level sensor**(%%) for Internet of Things solution.

The LDDS20 sensor is installed directly below the container to detect the height of the liquid level. User doesn't need to open a hole on the container to be tested. The (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**none-contact measurement makes the measurement safety, easier and possible for some strict situation**.

251

252

* At room temperature, containers of different materials, such as steel, glass, iron, ceramics, non-foamed plastics and other dense materials, have different detection blind areas and detection limit heights.

253

* For containers of the same material at room temperature, the detection blind zone and detection limit height are also different for the thickness of the container.

254

* When the detected liquid level exceeds the effective detection value of the sensor, and the liquid level of the liquid to be measured shakes or tilts, the detected liquid height is unstable.(% style="display:none" %)

(((

The LDDS20 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and power on the LDDS20. If there is coverage of the LoRaWAN network, it will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value.

)))

(((

In case you can't set the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN OTAA server, and you have to use the keys from the server, you can [[use AT Commands >>||anchor="H3.A0UsingtheATCommands"]]to set the keys in the LDDS20.

== 4.1 What is the frequency plan for LDDS20? ==

775

776

777

LDDS20 use the same frequency as other Dragino products. User can see the detail from this link: [[Introduction>>doc:Main.End Device Frequency Band.WebHome||anchor="H1.Introduction"]]

781

782

783

You can follow the instructions for [[how to upgrade image>>||anchor="H2.7A0200BFirmwareChangeLog"]].

== 5.1 Why I can't join TTN V3 in US915 / AU915 bands? ==

790

791

== 5.3 Why i always see 0x0000 or 0 for the distance value? ==

(((

LDDS20 has a strict [[**installation requirement**>>||anchor="H1.5A0InstallLDDS20"]]. Please make sure the installation method exactly follows up with the installation requirement. Otherwise, the reading might be always 0x00.
