256

257

258

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.

259

260

261

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

262

263

264

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.

266

268

269

270

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.

271

272

273

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

274

275

=== 2.3.4 Probe Model ===

413

414

415

PS-LB has different kind of probe, 4~~20mA represent the full scale of the measuring range. So a 12mA output means different meaning for different probe.

For example.

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

421

|**Part Number**|**Probe Used**|**4~~20mA scale**|**Example: 12mA meaning**

422

|PS-LB-I3|immersion type with 3 meters cable|0~~3 meters|1.5 meters pure water

423

|PS-LB-I5|immersion type with 5 meters cable|0~~5 meters|2.5 meters pure water

424

|PS-LB-T20-B|T20 threaded probe|0~~1MPa|0.5MPa air / gas or water pressure

425

426

The probe model field provides the convenient for server to identical how it should parse the 4~~20mA sensor value and get the correct value.

427

428

429

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

430

431

432

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

433

434

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

435

436

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

437

438

439

Instead of pressure probe, User can also connect a general 4~~20mA in this port to support different types of 4~~20mA sensors. below is the connection example:

447

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

448

449

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

450

451

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

576

577

578

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

579

580

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

581

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

582

583

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

584

585

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

586

587

These commands are to configure:

588

589

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

590

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

591

592

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

Users need to configure this parameter according to the type of external probe. In this way, the server can decode according to this value, and convert the current value output by the sensor into water depth or pressure value.

740

741

**AT Command: AT** **+PROBE**

AT+PROBE=aabb

When aa=00, it is the water depth mode, and the current is converted into the water depth value; bb is the probe at a depth of several meters.

746

When aa=01, it is the pressure mode, which converts the current into a pressure value;

748

749

bb represents which type of pressure sensor it is.

819

== 4.1 Battery Type ==

820

821

822

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.

823

824

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

825

826

[[image:1675146710956-626.png]]

827

828

829

Minimum Working Voltage for the PS-LB:

PS-LB: 2.45v ~~ 3.6v

== 4.2 Replace Battery ==

835

836

837

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

838

839

And make sure the positive and negative pins match.

=== 4.3.1 Battery Note ===

872

873

874

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.

875

876

877

=== 4.3.2 Replace the battery ===

878

879

880

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.

881

882

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)
