Complete model meaning

The complete meaning of KS328-A1-AS923-N is:

This is a second-generation IP65 dry-contact input module in the 800 MHz-and-above RF class. It provides six digital inputs, includes a 10800 mAh battery, supports the LoRaWAN AS923 regional standard, and uses the default final version code N.

Instructions for use

Network topology

KS32 is a standard LoRaWAN device and needs LoRaWAN network support to work properly. You can use the LoRaWAN gateway of ManThink or a third-party LoRaWAN gateway with the support of LoRaWAN NS.

KS32 supports accessing standard LoRaWAN networks such as ThinkLink, Chirp stack, and TTN. You can use the ThinkLink configuration model to implement business functions, card view presentation, and other business logic.

The LoRaWAN network topology is as follows:

Working mode

Periodic Upload and trigger Upload

- [x] KS32 has 6 DI interfaces. KS32 monitors the Accessed DI signals in real time. When the state of any DI interface changes, it will record the number of overturns and send a packet of data to the state of the DI interface.
- [x] When no trigger event occurs, KS32 periodically reports the status and count values of six DI interfaces 
- [x] The Upload cycle of KS32 is set according to the heartbeat cycle address.

Note: KS32 can only be connected to dry contacts*.*

Communication Test

Use a magnet to stick the loction of QR code on KS32 to trigger 2S-4S, which can trigger a packet of upstream measurement data.

Network access

Use a magnet to stick the location of QR code on KS32 to trigger 6s-8s, which can trigger a packet of network access data.

Installation and fixing

• [x] Use the drill to fix the back plate to the Wall (keep the back plate Arrow Up)

• [x] Hatch the product on the back plate (slide down after aligning the groove on the back of the sensor with the convex part of the back plate)

Communication Protocol

According to the standard

Reference: PTL-D01 ManThink Technology IoT Terminal Application Layer General Protocol V1.5
