(% style="color:blue" %)** Wiring:**

51

52

~1. WSC1-L and sensors all powered by solar power via MPPT

53

54

2. WSC1-L and sensors connect to each other via RS485/Modbus.

55

56

3. WSC1-L read value from each sensor and send uplink via LoRaWAN

57

58

59

WSC1-L is shipped with a RS485 converter board, for the easy connection to different sensors and WSC1-L. Below is a connection photo:

63

64

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice 1:**

65

66

* All weather sensors and WSC1-L are powered by MPPT solar recharge controller. MPPT is connected to solar panel and storage battery.

67

* WSC1-L has an extra 1000mAh back up battery. So it can work even solar panel and storage battery Fails.

68

* Weather sensors won’t work if solar panel and storage battery fails.

69

70

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice 2:**

71

72

Due to shipment and importation limitation, user is better to purchase below parts locally:

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

77

* Mounting Kit includes pole and mast assembly. Each weather sensor has it’s own mounting assembly, user can check the sensor section in this manual.

* Cabinet.

85

(((

86

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use WSC1-L in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN network server. After finish installation as above. Create WSC1-L in your LoRaWAN server and Power on WSC1-L , it can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

154

155

Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.

156

157

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

158

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

159

160

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT~=5, Device Status ===

161

162

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once WSC1-L Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After first uplink, WSC1-L will uplink Device Status every 12 hours

(((

User can also use downlink command(0x2301) to ask WSC1-L to resend this uplink
