== 2.1 How it works ==

253

254

255

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

256

257

258

== 2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA) ==

259

260

261

Following is an example for how to join the [[TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network>>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]]. Below is the network structure; we use the [[LPS8v2>>url:https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/228-lps8v2.html]] as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.

262

263

264

[[image:1675144005218-297.png]]

265

266

267

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to [[TTN network >>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]], so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

268

269

270

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1:**(%%) Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from PS-LB.

271

272

Each PS-LB is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

273

274

[[image:image-20230131134744-2.jpeg]]

You can enter this key in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

312

313

314

Uplink payloads have two types:

315

316

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

317

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

318

319

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

320

321

322

=== 2.3.1 Device Status, FPORT~=5 ===

323

324

325

Include device configure status. Once PS-LB Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server.

326

327

Users can also use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask PS-LB to resend this uplink.

433

434

435

PS-LB has different kind of probe, 0~~20mA represent the full scale of the measuring range. So a 15mA output means different meaning for different probe.

For example.

(% border="1" cellspacing="4" style="background-color:#f7faff; color:black; width:510px" %)

441

|(% style="width:111px" %)**Part Number**|(% style="width:158px" %)**Probe Used**|**0~~20mA scale**|**Example: 10mA meaning**

= 3. Configure PS-LB via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink =

573

574

575

Use can configure PS-LB via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

576

577

* AT Command Connection: See [[FAQ>>||anchor="H7.FAQ"]].

578

* LoRaWAN Downlink instruction for different platforms: See [[IoT LoRaWAN Server>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]] section.

579

580

There are two kinds of commands to configure PS-LB, they are:

581

582

* (% style="color:#037691" %)**General Commands**

583

584

These commands are to configure:

585

586

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

587

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

588

589

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack. These commands can be found on the wiki:

790

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

791

792

793

PS-LB is equipped with a [[8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery>>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w9l2oa3ytpculph/AAAPtt-apH4lYfCj-2Y6lHvQa?dl=0]]. The battery is un-rechargeable battery with low discharge rate targeting for 8~~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT target for long-term running, such as water meter.

794

795

The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.

796

797

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

806

807

808

Any battery with range 2.45 ~~ 3.6v can be a replacement. We recommend to use Li-SOCl2 Battery.

809

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

843

844

845

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

846

847

848

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

849

850

851

You can change the battery in the PS-LB.The type of battery is not limited as long as the output is between 3v to 3.6v. On the main board, there is a diode (D1) between the battery and the main circuit. If you need to use a battery with less than 3.3v, please remove the D1 and shortcut the two pads of it so there won't be voltage drop between battery and main board.

852

853

The default battery pack of PS-LB includes a ER26500 plus super capacitor. If user can't find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most case. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high frequency use (update period below 5 minutes)
