CAS Dataloggers is pleased to announce the new Radionode LoRaWAN series from Dekist Co. Ltd. The Radionode LoRaWAN series is comprised of battery-operated environmental wireless RN320 transmitters and the RN310 data logger. Using LoRaWAN® technology, Radionode customers can easily set up a wide range of sensor networks in a short time. A three-color LED and ePaper Display allow users to intuitively check the current status of each sensor. Also, a loud buzzer is included to quickly alert anyone nearby of out-of-tolerance conditions. The LoRaWAN series requires the use of a LoRaWAN gateway to utilize the LoRa network configuration.

RN320 transmitters offer a total of 3 versatile installation methods:

1. A metal stand to freely move the product (optional add-on purchase)
2. Attaching the product in place using a magnetic plate without drilling
3. Securely fasten using the wall plate with screws

The LoRaWAN series is currently comprised of 5 models:

• RN310 – Temperature and Humidity Data Logger with a Waterproof Design
• RN320-BTH – Temperature and Humidity Wireless Transmitter
• RN320-CDT – CO2 Wireless Transmitter
• RN320-EX2 – Door Open/Close Sensor and Temperature Wireless Transmitter
• RN320-PMT – Smart Indoor Air Quality Wireless Transmitter

The latest international communication protocol, LoRaWAN®, has the advantage of supporting long-distance communication without additional repeaters while consuming less power. Taking full advantage of this, these devices can transmit data up to 5km. The LoRaWAN series can also transmit measurement data to the cloud-based service Radionode365 or the user’s server. You can easily register the RN310 to the Radionode365 service by scanning the QR code on the back of the product. With Radionode365, you can utilize all aspects of remote monitoring, even in areas with poor radio conditions. Plus, you can keep all your data permanently by using the built-in microSD card.

IoT smart sensors, called Radionodes, have various and complex functions, making it sometimes difficult to understand.
To understand Radionodes, you need to grasp four things: understanding the sensors, knowledge of different communication methods, familiarity with the cloud, and understanding various industrial scenarios. Those receiving this email are part of the special group I manage, and I will continue to send useful information to ensure you have sufficient understanding.

In this month’s RADIONODE TIPS will cover the instant alarm notification feature supported by the RN17X series and the RN400-T2EX, H2EX products.

Radionode Alarm Instant Sending Function

Generally, alarms sent from Radionode365 are dispatched according to the device’s transmission interval. However, some Radionode products have a feature that allows instant alarm notifications when abnormal data is detected, regardless of the device’s transmission interval. The RN17X series and RN400-T2EX, RN400-H2EX are among these products. These devices are designed to independently detect anomalies within the device by setting a normal range for the sensor, enabling them to send an immediate alarm when abnormal data is identified. Utilizing this instant alarm feature allows for quicker and more efficient responses to deviations.

How to Set Up the RN17X Series

1. Connect the RN17X device to your PC using a USB cable.

2.  Open the Radionode Terminal software, and once the green appears, type “Radionode114” to begin the setup.

(Download Radionode Terminal)

3. When the menu list appears, press the number key 3 and then Enter to access the Buzzer/Siren Setup.

4. In the Buzzer/Siren Setup menu, use Menu A to select the channel for which you want to enable instant alarms. To set an alarm only on Channel 1, press 1 to assign the alarm to CH.1.

5. Use Menus B, C, D, and E in the Buzzer/Siren Setup menu to define the normal range for each sensor from Channel 1 to Channel 4 connected to the RN17X device.

6. To set the normal range for Channel 1, press the B key and then Enter.

7. A prompt will appear to enter the minimum and maximum values for the channel’s normal range. To set the range from -8°C to 25°C, type -8, 25 and press Enter.
8. You will see that the normal range for Channel 1 has been successfully set to -8°C to 25°C.
9. Press Q to exit the setup.

How to Set Up the RN400 Series

1. Enter AP mode on the RN400-T2EX or RN400-H2EX.
   (How to Enter AP Mode)

2. Go to the Measurement menu.

3. In the Dry Contact (Relay and Buzzer Setting) menu at the bottom, set the target channel and normal range for which you want instant alarm notifications.
4. Activate the “BUZZER SOUND ON” option in the Relay & Buzzer menu.
5. Press the REBOOT button to exit AP mode settings.

Where Can I Set Up The Alarm?

Radionode365 offers various features to support your data monitoring. The alarm function is one of them and is also a core feature of Radionode365. Therefore, utilizing the alarm function effectively can be considered effective using Radionode365.

This is an example screen of Radionode365. If you look at the left side, you can see that the [Alarm Setup] menu is clicked. In this menu, we can set up and manage alarms. Here, you will see each of the sensor channels you are managing.

If you click the [Add Alarms] button pointed to by the blue arrow in the image, you can configure the detailed settings of the alarm. Additionally, existing alarms can be modified using the [Modify] button.

Now, let’s go ahead and click the [Add Alarms] button.

When you click the [Add Alarms] button, the Data Channel selection window will appear first. Select the channel you want to apply the alarm to, enter the name of the alarm, and then you can proceed to the next step.

The next page is the [Condition] settings. Here, you can make four different settings for the alarm.

If you hover your mouse cursor over the blue Help box, explanations for each setting option will appear. Here are more detailed explanations:

Normal Range (Min~Max): specifies the normal data range where an alarm won’t be triggered. If the monitored data value goes beyond this range, an alarm will be triggered.

Don’t Notify Initially for: prevents alarms from being triggered for a certain period after the data value first deviates from the Normal Range. This is useful to prevent unnecessary alarms in routine situations, such as when opening a refrigerator to retrieve items, causing a temporary rise in internal temperature.

Don’t Notify again for (Snooze): Prevents consecutive duplicate alarms from being triggered for a specific period after an alarm has occurred. This helps to avoid continuous alarms while the person in charge is addressing the issue after the initial alarm trigger.

Don’t Notify Between: Allows you to set a period during which alarms will not be triggered. This can be useful in environments where temperature deviations occur regularly at specific times, such as during scheduled warehouse restocking, to prevent unnecessary repeated alarms.

The next page, the [Notification] tab, allows you to select your preferred alarm methods such as SMS, phone call, email, or simply logging the alarm without notification.

You can also customize the text content of SMS and email alerts, as well as the TTS (Text-to-Speech) content for phone alerts. This enables you to communicate deviations more efficiently and clearly. TTS supports six languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
