SW3L-NB -- NB-IoT Flow Sensor User Manual

The Dragino SW3L-NB is a (% style="color:blue" %)**NB-IoT Flow Sensor**(%%). It detects water flow volume and uplink to IoT server via NB-IoT network. User can use this to (% style="color:blue" %)**monitor the water usage for buildings**.

28

29

The SW3L-NB will send water flow volume every 20 minutes. It can also detect the (% style="color:blue" %)**water flow status and send Alarm**(%%), to avoid the waste for water usage such as broken toilet case.

30

31

SW3L-NB is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It has a weatherproof enclosure and industrial level battery to (% style="color:blue" %)**work in low to high temperatures**.

32

33

SW3L-NB supports different uplink methods including (% style="color:blue" %)**MQTT, MQTTs, UDP & TCP**(%%) for different application requirement, and support uplinks to various IoT Servers.

34

35

SW3L-NB (% style="color:blue" %)**supports BLE configure **(%%)and(% style="color:blue" %)** OTA update**(%%) which make user easy to use.

36

37

SW3L-NB is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long-term use up to several years.

38

39

SW3L-NB has optional built-in SIM card and default IoT server connection version. Which makes it works with simple configuration.

== 2.5 Alarm for continuously water flow ==

(((

This feature is to monitor and send Alarm for continuously water flow.

)))

(((

Example case is for Toilet water monitoring, if some one push toilet button, the toilet will have water flow. If the toilet button has broken and can't returned to original state, the water flow will keep for hours or days which cause huge waste for water.

)))

(((

To monitor this faulty and send alarm, there are two settings:

)))

* (((

(% style="color:blue" %)**Stop Duration: Unit: Second**

)))

(((

Default: 15s, If SW3L-NB didn't see any water flow in 15s, SW3L-NB will consider stop of water flow event.

)))

* (((

(% style="color:blue" %)**Alarm Timer: Units: Minute; Default 0 minutes (means Alarm disable)**

)))

(((

**Example:** 10 minutes, if SW3L-NB detect a start of water flow event and didn't detect a stop event within Alarm timer, SW3L-NB will send an Alarm to indicate a water flow abnormal alarm.

)))

(((

So for example, If we set stop duration=15s and Alarm Timer=10minutes. If the toilet water flow continuously for more than 10 minutes, Sensor will send an alarm to platform.

)))

(((

(% style="color:red" %)**Note:** **After this alarm is send, sensor will consider a stop of water flow and count for another new event. So if water flow waste last for 1 hour, Sensor will keep sending alarm every 10 minutes.**
