16 == 1.1 What is DDS20-NB NB-IoT Ultrasonic liquid level Sensor ==
17
18
19 The Dragino DDS20-NB is a **NB-IoT Ultrasonic liquid level sensor** for Internet of Things solution. It uses **none-contact method **to measure the **height of liquid** in a container without opening the container, and send IoT platform via NB-IoT network.
20
21 The DDS20-NB sensor is installed directly below the container to detect the height of the liquid level. User doesn't need to open a hole on the container to be tested. The none-contact measurement makes the measurement safety, easier and possible for some strict situation. 
22
23 DDS20-NB uses **ultrasonic sensing technology** for distance measurement. DDS20-NB is of high accuracy to measure various liquid such as: **toxic substances**, **strong acids**, **strong alkalis** and **various pure liquids** in high-temperature and high-pressure airtight containers.
24
25 PS-NB-NA supports different uplink methods including **MQTT, MQTTs, UDP & TCP** for different application requirement, and support uplinks to various IoT Servers.
26
27 PS-NB-NA **supports BLE configure **and** OTA update** which make user easy to use.
28
29 PS-NB-NA is powered by **8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**, it is designed for long-term use up to severa years.
30
31 PS-NB-NA has optional built-in SIM card and default IoT server connection version. Which makes it works with simple configuration.

218 * At room temperature, containers of different materials, such as steel, glass, iron, ceramics, non-foamed plastics and other dense materials, have different detection blind areas and detection limit heights.
219
220 * For containers of the same material at room temperature, the detection blind zone and detection limit height are also different for the thickness of the container.
221
222 * When the detected liquid level exceeds the effective detection value of the sensor, and the liquid level of the liquid to be measured shakes or tilts, the detected liquid height is unstable.

470 By default, Sensor will send uplinks (% style="color:blue" %)**every 2 hours**(%%) & AT+NOUD=8
471
472 User can use below commands to change the (% style="color:blue" %)**uplink interval**.
473
474 (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+TDC=600 ** (%%) ~/~/ Set Update Interval to 600s
475
476 User can also push the button for more than 1 seconds to activate an uplink.
477
478
479 == 2.4 Multi-Samplings and One uplink ==
480
481
482 To save battery life, S31-NB will sample temperature & humidity data every 15 minutes and send one uplink every 2 hours. So each uplink it will include 8 stored data + 1 real-time data. They are defined by:
483
484 * (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+TR=900**   (%%) ~/~/ The unit is seconds, and the default is to record data once every 900 seconds (15 minutes, the minimum can be set to 180 seconds)
485
486 * (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+NOUD=8**     (%%)~/~/  The device uploads 8 sets of recorded data by default. Up to 32 sets of record data can be uploaded.

493 == 2.5 Humidity and Temperature alarm function ==
494
495
496 On each sampling define by AT+TR ( default 900s or 15 minutes), when the value exceed the range, it will trigger an Alarm and immediately sends a uplink.

504
505
506 (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+ SHTEMP=min,max**
507
508 Example: AT+ SHTEMP=20,30  ~/~/ Alarm when temperature lower than 20 or higher than 30
509
510
511 (% style="color:red" %)**Notice:**
512
513 * To disable Alarm, user can set min and max to same value , such as (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+SHTEMP=0,0.**
514
515 * If user only want to send only min or max, user can set the alarm to a value that device won’t reach. For example: (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+SHTEMP=-80,0.**
516
517 == 2.6 Trggier an uplink by external interrupt ==
