== 2.1 How it works ==

255

256

257

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.

258

259

260

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

261

262

263

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.

264

265

266

[[image:1675144005218-297.png]]

267

268

269

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.

270

271

272

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

273

274

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

275

276

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

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

306

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

307

308

(% style="color:green" %)**Green led**(%%) will fast blink 5 times, device will enter (% style="color:blue" %)**OTA mode**(%%) for 3 seconds. And then start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. (% style="color:green" %)**Green led**(%%) will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.

309

310

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

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

315

316

317

Uplink payloads have two types:

318

319

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

320

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

321

322

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

323

324

325

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

326

327

328

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

329

330

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

=== 2.3.4 Probe Model ===

423

424

425

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" %)

431

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

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

434

435

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.

436

437

438

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

439

440

441

442

443

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Example**:

444

445

456

457

458

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

459

460

461

IN1 and IN2 are used as digital input pins.

462

463

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Example**:

464

465

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

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

563

564

565

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

566

567

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

568

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

569

570

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

571

572

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

573

574

These commands are to configure:

575

576

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

577

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

578

579

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

= 4. Battery & how to replace =

748

749

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

750

751

752

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.

753

754

755

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

756

757

[[image:1675146710956-626.png]]

758

759

760

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

766

767

768

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

769

770

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

771

772

773

== 4.3 Power Consumption Analyze ==

774

775

776

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.

777

778

Instruction to use as below:

779

780

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1:**(%%) Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from: [[https:~~/~~/www.dropbox.com/sh/zwex6i331j5oeq2/AACIMf9f_v2qsJ39CuMQ5Py_a?dl=0>>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zwex6i331j5oeq2/AACIMf9f_v2qsJ39CuMQ5Py_a?dl=0]]

781

782

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

803

804

805

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.

806

807

808

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

809

810

811

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.

812

813

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)
