For successful data communication, LoRaWAN® network coverage
should be available at the deployment location of the LoRAIN device.
This coverage comes from a LoRaWAN® Provider or from the user’s own
LoRa® Gateway. There is no need for a SIM-Card.
In situations where fine tuning of the configuration or parameter
settings are needed, the client should:
1. Remove the USB-Port-cover, labelled PG9 at the button of the
device and connect it using the USB input via a micro-USB cable
connected to the PC using the PI-Service Terminal. The user will
get the service menu and modem configuration scripts.
2. In situations where other services are required, open the case
(after unscrewing the 6 screws at the bottom).
3.
Close the cover to its final position and tighten the screws after
setting of parameters.
INSTALLING LoRAIN LoRA
The LoRAIN has to be fixed to a vertical pole. Located at the back of
the unit is a metal mounting frame. Unscrew the small screws, pass the
pole through the hole in the frame and fix it with the long screws (to
ensure a longer lasting product, use the lining disk).
Make sure that the pole is as vertical as possible by checking the bubble
level on the rain gauge to ensure the right installation verticality of the
pole. Make sure all sensors are installed correctly.
USE YOUR LoRAIN LoRA
To start using services we provide, the station needs to be registered on
the FieldClimate platform, which gives access to the data in graphs and
tables. FieldClimate also provides a powerful decision support system
for growing crops.
