== 1.1 What is LoRaWAN Pressure Sensor ==

14

15

16

The Dragino PS-LB series sensors are **LoRaWAN Pressure Sensor** for Internet of Things solution. PS-LB can measure Air, Water pressure and liquid level and upload the sensor data via wireless to LoRaWAN IoT server.

17

18

The PS-LB series sensors include **Thread Installation Type** and **Immersion Type**, it supports different pressure range which can be used for different measurement requirement.

19

20

The LoRa wireless technology used in PS-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.

21

22

PS-LB supports BLE configure and wireless OTA update which make user easy to use.

23

24

PS-LB is powered by **8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**, it is designed for long term use up to 5 years.

25

26

Each PS-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.

180

181

**Working Mode:** In this mode, Sensor will work as LoRaWAN Sensor to Join LoRaWAN network and send out sensor data to server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodically, sensor will be in IDLE mode), in IDLE mode, sensor has the same power consumption as Deep Sleep mode.

= 2. Configure PS-LB to connect to LoRaWAN network =

244

245

== 2.1 How it works ==

246

247

248

The PS-LB is configured as **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.

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

253

254

255

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.

256

257

258

[[image:1675144005218-297.png]]

259

260

261

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.

262

263

264

**Step 1**: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from PS-LB.

265

266

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

267

268

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

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

288

[[image:1675144143021-195.png]]

**Add APP KEY**

[[image:1675144157838-392.png]]

294

295

**Step 2**: Activate on PS-LB

296

297

298

Press the button for 5 seconds to activate the PS-LB.

299

300

**Green led** will fast blink 5 times, device will enter **OTA mode** for 3 seconds. And then start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. **Green led** will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.

301

302

After join success, it will start to upload messages to TTN and you can see the messages in the panel.

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

307

308

309

Uplink payloads have two types:

310

311

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

312

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

313

314

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

315

316

317

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

318

319

320

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

321

322

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

Check the battery voltage for PS-LB.

Ex1: 0x0B45 = 2885mV

Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV

=== 2.3.4 Probe Model ===

415

416

417

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" %)

423

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

424

|(% style="width:111px" %)PS-LB-I3|(% style="width:158px" %)immersion type with 3 meters cable|0~~3 meters|1.5 meters pure water

425

|(% style="width:111px" %)PS-LB-I5|(% style="width:158px" %)immersion type with 5 meters cable|0~~5 meters|2.5 meters pure water

426

427

The probe model field provides the convenient for server to identical how it should parse the 0~~20mA sensor value and get the correct value.

428

429

430

=== 2.3.5 0~~20mA value (IDC_IN) ===

431

432

433

The output value from Pressure Probe, use together with Probe Model to get the pressure value or water level.

**Example**:

27AE(H) = 10158 (D)/1000 = 10.158mA.

438

439

440

=== 2.3.6 0~~30V value ( pin VDC_IN) ===

441

442

443

Measure the voltage value. The range is 0 to 30V.

**Example**:

138E(H) = 5006(D)/1000= 5.006V

448

449

450

=== 2.3.7 IN1&IN2&INT pin ===

451

452

453

IN1 and IN2 are used as digital input pins.

**Example**:

09 (H) :(0x09&0x08)>>3=1 IN1 pin is high level.

458

459

09 (H) :(0x09&0x04)>>2=0 IN2 pin is low level.

460

461

462

This data field shows if this packet is generated by **Interrupt Pin** or not. [[Click here>>path:#Int_mod]] for the hardware and software set up. Note: The Internet Pin is a separate pin in the screw terminal.

**Example:**

09 (H) : (0x09&0x02)>>1=1 The level of the interrupt pin.

467

468

09 (H) : 0x09&0x01=1 0x00: Normal uplink packet.

469

470

0x01: Interrupt Uplink Packet.

471

472

473

=== 2.3.8 Decode payload in The Things Network ===

474

475

476

While using TTN network, you can add the payload format to decode the payload.

495

496

497

**Step 1: **Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the network at this time.

781

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.

782

783

784

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

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

795

796

797

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

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

Dragino Battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.

806

807

808

Instruction to use as below:

809

810

811

**Step 1:** Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:

**Step 2:** Open it and choose

* Product Model

* Uplink Interval

* Working Mode

And the Life expectation in difference case will be shown on the right.

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

837

838

839

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.

840

841

842

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

843

844

845

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.

846

847

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)
