Caution: Inputs are not galvanically isolated
from each other.

3. Configuration

Before connecting the device for the first time, please install
LoRaBridge applications and drivers from
iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWeb.

Validate your settings by reading data after the write. enginko
provides user manuals, JavaScript examples, downlink generator,
uplink decoder, firmware updates, and different tools upon free

4. Setup

4.1 Period

Period is the interval (in minutes) between each measurement.
The sensor sends one measurement for every transmission. The value
can be set between 15 and 65535 minutes (default: 30 minutes). The
period interval can be set using LoRaWEB or with a downlink
command.

4.2 Thresholds

On the MCF-LW06010, it is possible to set 4 thresholds for each
channel:

• Th+: Threshold High Rising
• Th-: Threshold High Falling
• Tl+: Threshold Low Rising
• Tl-: Threshold Low Falling

When target values are rising and exceed the positive
thresholds, the device sends an uplink with the latest measurement.
When values are falling below the negative thresholds, the device
sends a new uplink with the latest measurement. Thresholds can be
enabled, disabled, and changed via USB with LoRaWEB or with
downlinks.

5. Firmware Update

To update the firmware, save the new firmware file (.exe) on
your PC. Run the file, select the USB FW port, and start the
update. Wait for the end message.

4. Setup

4.1 Period
Period is the interval (in minutes) between one measure and the next one. The sensor sends one measures for every transmission. Value can be between 15 and 65535 minutes (default: 30 minutes). Period interval can be set with LoRaWEB or with downlink command. 4.2 Thresholds
m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

On the MCF-LW06010 is possible to set 4 thresholds for each channel: Th+ = Threshold High Rising Th- = Threshold High Falling Tl+ = Threshold Low Rising Tl- = Threshold Low Falling
When target values are rising and exceed the positive thesholds, the device sends an uplink with the the latest measure. Whenvalues are falling below the negative thresholds, the device sends anew uplink with the latest measure. Thresholds can be enabled, disabled and changed va USB with LoRaWEB or with downlinks:
m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

4.3 Other settings
DST: set to change DST (default: none). Time sync uplink: set to disable time synchronization request (default: enabled).

Normally sensor asks for atime sync at every power on (uplink starting with 01) or once aweek. If no or wrong reply received, it will retry after 1 week. Ifnot handled in the right way can generate unnecessary traffic on the network.

Please check chapter 2.1

.

Confirmed Uplinks: set for unconfirmed uplinks (default: confirmed uplink).
Single join/day: set for to allow only one join per day (default: multiple join allowed). LED working: Set OFF to turn off the diagnostic led.
USB: Internal use.

6 LoRaWAN network
The sensor is compliant with LoRaWAN® specification 1.0.2, regional 1.0.2b.
6.1 Activation The device supports the following activations on a LoRaWAN® network:
1. NONE: sensor not activated 2. OTAA: the JoinEUI and the AppKey not setted, must be written to the device; 3. OTAA MCF88: Over the air activation, fixed keys: JoinEUI = 904e915000000002, AppKey on request; 4. OTAA ENGINKO: Over the air activation, fixed keys: JoinEUI = 904e915000000002, AppKey on request; 5. ABP: requires writing to the device of NwkSkey, AppSkey, DevAddr.
m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

The device exits factory activated with NONE mode. On request devices can be shipped aleady activated. Note: in OTAAAppKey iswrite only, in reading the field will always be empty, even if set. 6.2 Other settings Network settings: pleasekeep “Any” settings. Change it only if Objenious network isused (default_ any). Network type: LoRa syncword can be setted as “private”(0x12) instead “public” (0x34), butthe NS must be setted accordingly(default: public). Band: select the right LoRaWAN ® band settings accodingly to country requirements.
7 Passwords
The device can be protected by passwords, to avoid unauthorized persons to read data or modify parameters. As default passwords are equal to 0. Allowedvalues range from 0 to 999999999 (only numbers). To change the passwords, set the new values with LoRaWEB:
Once the passwords are setted, to gain access from LoRaWEB to the sensor, set the right values before reading from the device:
m2m Germany GmbH | Am Kappengraben 18-20 | 61273 Wehrheim | 06081 5873860

To bring back the sensor to factory default and reset the passwords, a reset code must be requested to enginko (please provide the DevEUI of the sensor when you ask for that code).
8 General configuration file
WIth LoRaWEB is possible to configure the device using an XML file, instead to manually adjust the parameters (for details about the file format please ask to enginko). This is very useful especially in case of multiple devices configuration. With “Save” button an XML file with the actual configuration of the sensor will be generated. This is useful to store or clone the configuration, or to send it to enginko’s support if needed.
8.1 Multi devices configuration WIth LoRaWEB is possible to configure many devices in an easy way. For multi-configuration is needed at least one XML file with the parameters to set. Settings on this file will be applied to all the sensors. With an additional XLS file is possible to load different LoRa configuration parameters (Activation Type, AppKey, AppEUI, NetKey, DevAddress, Band, Private option) for each sensor, based on DevEUI. XLS is prevailing on the XML, so if both files are enabled, if the DevEUI of the device matches one of the DevEUIs in the XLS file, LoRa parameters will be setted from this one. These configuration can be done in the in the Settings:
Use of the general configuration by file; Use of the specific configuration by file.
