10 The Dragino LHT65N Temperature & Humidity sensor is a Long Range LoRaWAN Sensor. It includes a(% class="mark" %) **built-in Temperature & Humidity sensor**(%%) and has an external sensor connector to connect to an external (% class="mark" %)**Temperature Sensor**(%%)**.**
11
12 The LHT65N allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, building automation, and so on.
13
14 LHT65N has a built-in 2400mAh non-chargeable battery which can be used for up to 10 years*.
15
16 LHT65N is full compatible with LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A protocol, it can work with a standard LoRaWAN gateway.
17
18 LHT65N supports (% class="mark" %)Datalog Feature(%%). It will record the data when there is no network coverage and users can retrieve the sensor value later to ensure no miss for every sensor reading.
19
20 *The actual battery life depends on how often to send data, please see the battery analyzer chapter.

61
62 == How does LHT65N work? ==
63
64 LHT65N is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. Each LHT65N is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use LHT65N in a LoRaWAN network, first, we need to put the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN Network Server and then activate LHT65N.
65
66 If LHT65N is under the coverage of this LoRaWAN network. LHT65N can join the LoRaWAN network automatically. After successfully joining, LHT65N will start to measure environment temperature and humidity, and start to transmit sensor data to the LoRaWAN server. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
67
68
69 == How to Activate LHT65N? ==
70
71 The LHT65N has two working modes:
72
73 * **Deep Sleep Mode**: LHT65N doesn’t have any LoRaWAN activation. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.
74 * **Working Mode**: In this mode, LHT65N works as LoRaWAN Sensor mode to Join LoRaWAN network and send out the sensor data to the server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodically, LHT65 will be in STOP mode (IDLE mode), in STOP mode, LHT65N has the same power consumption as Deep Sleep mode. 
75
76 The LHT65N is set in deep sleep mode by default; The ACT button on the front is to switch to different modes:
77
78 [[image:image-20220515123819-1.png||height="379" width="317"]]
79
80 |**Behavior on ACT**|**Function**|**Action**
81 |**Pressing ACT between 1s < time < 3s**|Test uplink status|If LHT65N is already Joined to the LoRaWAN network, LHT65N will send an uplink packet, if LHT65N has an external sensor connected, blue led will blink once. If LHT65N has no external sensor, red led will blink once.
82 |**Pressing ACT for more than 3s**|Active Device|green led will fast blink 5 times, LHT65N will enter working mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. green led will solid turn on for 5 seconds after join in network.
83 |**Fast press ACT 5 times**|Deactivate Device|red led will solid on for 5 seconds. This means LHT65N is in Deep Sleep Mode.
84
85
86 == LED Indicator ==
87
88 The LHT65N has a triple color LED which for easy shows different stage.
89
90 While pressing ACT button, the LED will work as per LED status with ACT button.
91
92 In a normal working state:
93
94 * For each uplink, the BLUE LED or RED LED will blink once.
95 * BLUE LED when an external sensor is connected
96 * RED LED when an external sensor is not connected
97 * For each success downlink, the PURPLE LED will blink once

118
119 == Battery Type ==
120
121 LHT65N is equipped with a 2400mAH Li-MnO2 (CR17505) battery . The battery is an un-rechargeable battery with low discharge rate targeting for up to 8~~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT devices for long-term running, such as water meters.
122
123 The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.
124 [[image:image-20220515075034-1.png||height="208" width="644"]]
125
126
127 The minimum Working Voltage for the LHT65N is ~~ 2.5v. When battery is lower than 2.6v, it is time to change the battery.
128
129
130 == Replace Battery ==
131
132 LHT65N has two screws on the back, Unscrew them, and changing the battery inside is ok. The battery is a general CR17450 battery. Any brand should be ok.
