== 2.1 How it works ==

248

249

250

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.

251

252

253

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

254

255

256

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.

257

258

259

[[image:1675144005218-297.png]]

260

261

262

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.

263

264

265

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

266

267

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

268

269

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

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

(% 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.

302

303

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

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

308

309

310

Uplink payloads have two types:

311

312

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

313

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

314

315

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

316

317

318

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

319

320

321

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

322

323

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

429

430

431

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" %)

437

|(% 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

440

441

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.

442

443

444

=== 2.3.6 0~~20mA value (IDC_IN) ===

445

446

447

448

449

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

464

=== 2.3.8 IN1&IN2&INT pin ===

465

466

467

IN1 and IN2 are used as digital input pins.

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

569

570

571

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

572

573

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

574

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

575

576

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

577

578

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

579

580

These commands are to configure:

581

582

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

583

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

584

585

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 =

780

781

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

782

783

784

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.

785

786

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

787

788

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

797

798

799

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

800

801

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.

808

809

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

834

835

836

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.

837

838

839

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

840

841

842

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.

843

844

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)
