)))

225

* (((

226

The application server should parse the correct value based on FPORT settings.

230

231

232

== 3.5 temperature and humidity Value, Uplink FPORT~=2 ==

233

234

235

GroPoint Air will send this uplink after Device Status once join the LoRaWAN network successfully. And GroPoint Air will:

236

237

periodically send this uplink every 20 minutes, this interval can be changed.

GroPoint Air's sensors come in six models: GPLP-2，GPLP-3，GPLP-4，GPLP-5，GPLP-6，GPLP-8.

244

245

The amount of temperature and humidity is different for each model, so the payload of each model is different.

Feature: Change the sensor delay time.

370

371

There are six models of GroPoint Air, and each model returns a different number of temperature and humidity. The more bytes of the returned value, the longer the delay. The AT+SDELAY command can adjust the time that the sensor returns data to the node, and can adjust different delays according to different types of sensors.

372

373

The default delay is 1000ms.

GroPoint Air is equipped with a [[8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=datasheet/Battery/ER26500/]]. The battery is an un-rechargeable battery with a low discharge rate targeting more than 5 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT targets for long-term running, such as water meters.

555

The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period applications. 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 to transmit LoRa, then the battery life may be decreased.

558

=== 6.2.2 Replace the battery ===

561

You can change the battery in GroPoint Air. The type of battery is not limited as long as the output is between 3v to 3.6v.

)))

(((

The default battery pack of GroPoint Air includes a ER26500 plus supercapacitor. If users can’t find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most cases. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high-frequency use (update period below 5 minutes).
