Transceiver RF-LORA
1 Description
The RF-LORA transceiver with iO-LORA and iO-8-LORA wireless expanders increases the number of inputs and outputs of the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel using two-way RF communication. Up to 8 LORA modules (iO-LORA, iO-8-LORA, PB-LORA) can be connected to the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel using the RF-LORA transceiver.
Features
Communication:
Line-of-sight wireless range up to 5000 m. One RF-LORA transceiver can be connected to the “FLEXi” SP3 control
panel. The product comes with a standard antenna suitable for most
applications. In cases where it is necessary to provide high-quality communication at the maximum possible distance, an antenna (AXANT-KIT 433 MHz, AX-ANT01S_SF 868 MHz) with a higher radio signal gain should be used.
Connection:
The RF-LORA transceiver is connected to the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel via the RS485 bus.

1.2 Expander elements
Transceiver RF-LORA
1. SMA connector for RF antenna.
2. Light indicators. 3. Frontal case opening slot. 4. Terminal for external
connections. 5. USB Mini-B connector is for
firmware update. 6. DIP switch “SW”. 7. “DJ1” button to
enable/disable LORA module learning mode.
Note:
DIP switch “SW” settings:
1 – Radio frequency (“OFF” – RF1; “ON” – RF2). Intended for changing the radio channel if the current channel is heavily loaded.
2 – Modulation type (“OFF” – fast; “ON” – slow). The “ON” position allows you to increase the communication distance by about 2 times (depending on the environmental conditions). But if a quality connection is ensured using the “Off” position, it is recommended to use it.
NOTE: In RF-LORA and other LORA modules, switch positions “SW” must match! Otherwise, the radio communication will not work!

3 Registering the LORA wireless expander to the control panel “FLEXi” SP3
1. An RF-LORA transceiver must be connected to the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel. 2. Turn on the power supply of the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel. 3. Turn on the power supply to the iO-LORA and/or iO-8-LORA wireless expanders. 4. Launch TrikdisConfig. 5. Connect the “FLEXi” SP3 to a computer using a USB Mini-B cable or connect to the “FLEXi” SP3 remotely. 6. Click the button Read [F4] for the program to read the parameters currently set for the “FLEXi” SP3 control panel. If a
window for entering the Administrator code opens, enter the six-symbol administrator code. 7. In the “Modules” list, select “iO-LORA expander” (“iO-8-LORA expander”). 8. In the “Serial No.” field, enter the serial number of the module iO-LORA (iO-8-LORA).
9. In the “Zones” tab, make settings for the expander’s input.
