4. Instruccions de configuració

4.1 LoRaWAN Registration

1. Each LDS12-LB/LS sensor is pre-loaded with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration.
2. Register these keys (DevEUI, AppEUI/JoinEUI, AppKey) with your local LoRaWAN Network Server. Refer to your LoRaWAN Network Server documentation for specific registration procedures.
3. Once registered and powered on, the device will automatically attempt to connect to the LoRaWAN network.

4.2 Instal·lació física

1. Muntatge: Securely mount the sensor unit in the desired location using appropriate fasteners. Ensure the unit is stable and protected from excessive vibration.
2. Antena: Attach the external antenna to the sensor unit. Ensure it is tightened securely to optimize signal strength.
3. LiDAR Probe Placement: Position the LiDAR probe so that its field of view (3.6°) is unobstructed and directed towards the target object or area for distance measurement. The probe is connected via a 25cm wire.
4. LDS12-LS (Solar Panel): For the solar-powered model, ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging.
5. Consideracions ambientals: The enclosure has an IP65 rating, providing protection against dust and water jets. However, avoid submerging the device or exposing it to extreme conditions beyond its operating temperature range.

4.3 Encès

• LDS12-LB: The device is powered by an internal battery. It should be ready for operation once the antenna is attached and the LiDAR probe is positioned.
• LDS12-LS: The device will power on and begin charging its internal Li-ion battery when the solar panel receives sufficient light.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Transmissió de dades

Once connected to the LoRaWAN network, the sensor will periodically measure the distance and transmit the data to the LoRaWAN IoT Server. The frequency of transmissions can typically be configured via LoRaWAN downlink commands or AT commands.

5.2 Configuració

• Bluetooth (BLE) Configuration: The device supports Bluetooth v5.1 for local configuration. Use a compatible mobile application or tool to connect to the sensor via BLE and adjust parameters.
• Comandes AT: Parameters can be changed using AT commands. Refer to the detailed Dragino AT Command manual for specific commands and syntax.
• LoRaWAN Downlink: Remote configuration is possible by sending downlink commands from your LoRaWAN Network Server. This allows for parameter adjustments without physical access to the device.

5.3 actualitzacions de microprogramari

The LDS12-LB/LS supports wireless Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates. This allows for future enhancements and bug fixes to be applied remotely. Follow the instructions provided by Dragino for performing OTA updates.

6. Manteniment

• Neteja: Periodically clean the LiDAR probe lens to ensure accurate measurements. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Monitorització de la bateria: Monitor the battery level through the LoRaWAN network. For LDS12-LB, plan for battery replacement when levels are critically low. For LDS12-LS, ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed for efficient charging.
• Inspecció física: Regularly check the sensor unit, antenna, and probe for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or environmental wear.
• Firmware: Keep the device firmware updated to the latest version to benefit from performance improvements and new features.

7. Solució De Problemes

• No LoRaWAN Connectivity:
  • Verify that the device keys are correctly registered on your LoRaWAN Network Server.
  • Assegureu-vos que l'antena estigui ben connectada.
  • Check if the device is within range of a LoRaWAN gateway.
  • Confirm the correct frequency band is configured for your region.
• Lectures de distància inexactes:
  • Clean the LiDAR probe lens.
  • Ensure the target object is within the specified measurement range and reflectivity.
  • Check for any obstructions in the LiDAR probe's field of view.
  • Verify the sensor is securely mounted and not subject to movement.
• Battery Depletion (LDS12-LB):
  • The Li/SOCl2 battery is un-chargeable. Replace the battery when it reaches end-of-life.
  • High transmission frequency or frequent BLE usage can increase power consumption. Adjust settings if necessary.
• Low Battery (LDS12-LS):
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving adequate direct sunlight.
  • Check for any shading on the solar panel.
  • Verify the solar panel and battery connections are secure.

9. Consells d'usuari

• For optimal LoRaWAN performance, ensure the sensor's antenna has a clear line of sight to the nearest gateway.
• When using the LDS12-LS (solar-powered) model, regularly check that the solar panel is free from dirt, snow, or other obstructions that could reduce charging efficiency.
• Utilize the BLE configuration feature for initial setup and minor adjustments when the device is easily accessible, as it can be quicker than remote LoRaWAN downlink commands.
• Consider the reflectivity of the target surface when evaluating measurement accuracy. Highly reflective surfaces generally yield better results.
