22 == 1.1 What is LoRaWAN Ultrasonic liquid level Sensor ==
23
24
25 The Dragino DDS20-LB is a (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN Ultrasonic liquid level sensor**(%%) for Internet of Things solution. It uses (% style="color:blue" %)**none-contact method **(%%)to measure the (% style="color:blue" %)**height of liquid**(%%) in a container without opening the container, and send the value via LoRaWAN network to IoT Server.
26
27 The DDS20-LB 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 none-contact measurement makes the measurement safety, easier and possible for some strict situation. 
28
29 DDS20-LB uses (% style="color:blue" %)**ultrasonic sensing technology**(%%) for distance measurement. DDS20-LB is of high accuracy to measure various liquid such as: (% style="color:blue" %)**toxic substances**(%%), (% style="color:blue" %)**strong acids**(%%), (% style="color:blue" %)**strong alkalis**(%%) and (% style="color:blue" %)**various pure liquids**(%%) in high-temperature and high-pressure airtight containers.
30
31 The LoRa wireless technology used in DDS20-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.
32
33 DDS20-LB (% style="color:blue" %)**supports BLE configure**(%%) and (% style="color:blue" %)**wireless OTA update**(%%) which make user easy to use.
34
35 DDS20-LB is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long term use up to 5 years.
36
37 Each DDS20-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.

214
215
216 * 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.
217
218 * 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.
219
220 * 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.

297
298 The DDS20-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 press the button to activate the DDS20-LB. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20 minutes.

500 Datalog Feature is to ensure IoT Server can get all sampling data from Sensor even if the LoRaWAN network is down. For each sampling, DDS20-LB will store the reading for future retrieving purposes.
501
502
503 === 2.6.1 Ways to get datalog via LoRaWAN ===
504
505
506 Set PNACKMD=1, DDS20-LB will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network,DDS20-LB will mark these records with non-ack messages and store the sensor data, and it will send all messages (10s interval) after the network recovery.
507

509 a) DDS20-LB will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.

511 * (((
512 b) DDS20-LB will send data in **CONFIRMED Mode** when PNACKMD=1, but DDS20-LB won't re-transmit the packet if it doesn't get ACK, it will just mark it as a NONE-ACK message. In a future uplink if DDS20-LB gets a ACK, DDS20-LB will consider there is a network connection and resend all NONE-ACK messages.

515 Below is the typical case for the auto-update datalog feature (Set PNACKMD=1)

542 Once DDS20-LB Joined LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to DDS20-LB. If DDS20-LB fails to get the time from the server, DDS20-LB will use the internal time and wait for next time request (AT+SYNCTDC to set the time request period, default is 10 days).
543
544 (% style="color:red" %)**Note: LoRaWAN Server need to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature, Chirpstack,TTN V3 v3 and loriot support but TTN V3 v2 doesn't support. If server doesn't support this command, it will through away uplink packet with this command, so user will lose the packet with time request for TTN V3 v2 if SYNCMOD=1.**
