== 2.1 How it works ==

258

259

260

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.

261

262

263

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

264

265

266

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.

267

268

269

270

271

272

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.

273

274

275

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

276

277

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

278

279

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

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

== 2.3 Uplink Payload ==

317

318

319

Uplink payloads have two types:

320

321

* Distance Value: Use FPORT=2

322

* Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

323

324

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

325

326

327

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

328

329

330

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

331

332

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

438

439

440

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.

446

|(% 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 =

578

579

580

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

581

582

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

583

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

584

585

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

586

587

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

588

589

These commands are to configure:

590

591

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

592

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

593

594

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 =

800

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

801

802

803

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.

804

805

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

806

807

[[image:1675146710956-626.png]]

808

809

810

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

816

817

818

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

819

820

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

821

823

== 4.3 Power Consumption Analyze ==

824

825

826

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.

827

828

Instruction to use as below:

829

830

(% 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]]

831

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

853

854

855

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.

856

857

858

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

859

860

861

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.

862

863

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)
