VAQA'O Lite series sensors

Presentation

The VAQA'O Lt series devices are LoRaWAN Class A environmental sensors, powered by two 2600 mAh AA lithium batteries housed in internal slots.

The VAQA'O Lt can measure several environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), and continuously monitor sensor movement.

The VAQA'O+ Lt expands on this by adding room illuminance measurement and human presence detection, capable of detecting movement up to 12 meters away through an embedded passive infrared sensor.

The VAQA'O Multi Lt further enhances functionality with the addition of atmospheric pressure and volatile organic compound (VOC) measurement, utilizing an RMOX sensor.

Installation and operation

Installation

Manual and QuickStart guide are available in our download center.

The housing should be installed inside a building, must be protected from any water spray and must be used in environnement with less than 80% relative humidity. The product should not be installed in direct heat source (Heater, sunlight, ...) to avoid local heating effects that may alter a global estimation of environmental parameters in the measured room. The product should be installed in a representative position in regard of the required environemental parameters survey. Usualy, it should be installed between 1m50 and 2m50 from floor.

The product has 1 Green Led, 1 Red led, 1RGB led and two "magnetic switches" as human to machine interface. These elements should positioned as shown below when installing the sensor.

To correctly install the sensor:

Open the product from the two clips at the bottom using a small flat screwdriver.
Use the base as a template and obtain horizontality using a level. Then hang the base on the wall using screws or double-sided tape. Thanks to the noticeably light weight of the product, you can use only two screws.
Once done you can clip back the front, containing electronic parts, on the base.
Please, DO NOT USE centered holes for the screws as their heads may interfere with the batteries!

Once installed, the two LEDs are visible through the bottom vertical windows and the magnetic switches can be actuated like simple buttons using a magnet.

It is important to start the device once fixed to the wall. The tilt box's pull-out alert function is based on the angle with the vertical. This initial angle is taken at startup, and a periodic check of the angle is performed. If the angle varies by more than 4 degrees from the initial position, then the alert is triggered. It is necessary to return to the initial angle ±2 degrees for the alert to be deactivated.

About CO2 and VOC/Indoor Air Quality index:

CO2 concentration is measured with a dedicated CO2 gaz sensor using NDIR technology. This measurement can be normative.
A separated MOX sensor embeded in VAQAO, is used to estimate an Indoor Air Quality Index. This AQI (or IAQ) is deduced from the measurement of the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the air. The compounds taken into account are numerous, such as formaldehydes, ethanol, acetone or others, coming from paints, cleaning products, solvents, alcohol, glues, etc and even CO2 itself. The concentration attribute for IAQ gives an estimator of air polution with the following scale:

Note about the "Indoor Air Quality" index: The device uses a "Static IAQ" index of the MOX sensor". This index is suitable for "non-mobile" use. The VOC sensor gradually adapts to its environment, and the value read is "normally" between 0 and 500. However, it can make excursions, greater than 500, in the event of "significant/sudden" variations in the environment. As an indication, the "IAQ" value (rather for mobile use) is really constrained between 0 and 500, by specific filtering. This value is available on Concentration cluster Endpoint 2, but it is not part of the default reporting configuration.

Following table summarize Classifications, default values and HMI display for CO2 and/or VOC.

Level Value	level name	CO2	VOC	IAQ Led blink
0	EXCELLENT	< 500	50	GREEN (Default blinks each 30s)
1	GOOD	[500, 700]	[50, 100]	GREEN (Default blinks each 30s)
2	AVERAGE	[700, 1100]	[100, 150]	ORANGE (Default blinks each 15s)
3	BAD	[1100, 1300]	[150, 200]	ORANGE (Default blinks each 15s)
4	VERY BAD	[1300, 1700]	[200, 300]	RED (Default blinks each 7s)
5	UNHEALTHY	> 1700	> 300	RED (Default blinks each 7s)

VAQAO+Lt / Multi Lt : PIR sensor detection area:

Warning: The PIR sensor should not be exposed directly to hot air flow (such as from a split air conditioning unit) as it may cause false detections.

Replacing batteries

Batteries should be replaced with lithium-thionyl-chloride (Li-SOCI2) LR6/AA of 2600mAh each (example: SAFT LS14500). The batteries can be replaced on the fly, one after each other, as each battery slot is protected against side overvoltage.

However, operator must carefully avoid any short circuit or electrostatic discharge during battery replacement.

Steps to replace batteries are:

Open the product from the large center clip at the bottom using a small flat screwdriver.
Use a plastic spludger to extract batteries from their slots and replace them with new ones.
BEWARE that batteries must all be placed in the same direction. Notice the "+" sign on the PCB.
Renew this operation for the 2 other batteries.
Once done you can clip back the front containing electronic parts, on the base starting from upper side.

Autonomy

The information in the table below represents how long the batteries can last. It is based on the default configuration at ambient temperature (+25°C) within the optimal operating range of the sensor via a LoRaWAN network (one uplink frame), when the spreading factor used is SF12.

Following estimations are given with default reporting configuration and using two 2.6Ah capacity 3,6v AA Li-Ion batteries installed, of which 85% is used.
With the default configuration the sensor will record all significative measurements up to once each 10 minutes and at least once per hour. Then batch reports will be regularly send containing all these last measurements. It may contain several sample for any of the measured parameters (T, H, CO2). Some specific reports/alarms may also be sent because of default configuration (case opening, threshold crossing for Temperature, Humidity, CO2, ...). Due to all these possibly reported information, consumption estimation is based on a periodic transmission in range from 20 minutes to one hour.

Battery life expectancy :

Transmission periodicity	Spreading factor	VAQAO Lt VAQAO+Lt : 1 or 2 months less
1 Frame / Hour	SF12	5 years
3 Frames / Hour	SF12	3,5 Years
1 Frame / Hour	SF9	7 Years
3 Frames / Hour	SF9	6 Years

Note: Activating Buzzer and TAP HMI can reduce the battery life expectancy by up to 1 year.

Human Machine Interface

3 LEDs are available on VAQA'O Lt. 2 LEDs Green and Red are visible through the down ears of the sensor. These are the usual leds of Watteco sensors giving indication about current "Network status and running modes". One more led (RGB) is available in the front of the sensor mainly used as a "CO2 level visual indicator" and can also be used during "Operator calibration actions" when "Calibration and IAQ button" on the right side of the sensor is used.

Common configuration actions:

Network status and running modes HMI (Watteco sensors common behaviour)

Video Tutorials - WATTECO

There are, 1 magnetic switch ("Gear ") and two LEDs to interact with the product:

GREEN LED : LoRaNetwork status, mainly working when sensor try to join a network.
RED LED : mirror for actuating the "magnetic switch" by flickering, and blinking during configuration mode.

- - When unused the sensor should be set in storage mode (Deep sleep mode) to avoid battery consumption. By the way, notice that when sent from factory the sensor should always be in Storage mode. The table below describes the actions to be performed on the magnetic switch (Gear) to disable or enable the storage mode.
    
    Action Magnet
    
    Switch ON
    (disable storage mode) 1 second
    
    Switch OFF
    (enable storage mode) 5 seconds
  - After Power on or Factory reset or Wakeup from storage mode the GREEN LED will blink until network could be joined.

Action	Magnet
Switch ON (disable storage mode)	1 second
Switch OFF (enable storage mode)	5 seconds

association

- - During regular working mode, a configuration mode can be activated through one "user button" press (same as one pass of magnet on magnetic switch (Gear)), to enter the configuration mode.
    Consequently, "Void" frames are then sent every minute for 10 minutes allowing to probe uplink communication and send quickly downlink frames (configurations, requests, ...) to the class A sensor.

Standard reports are disabled during this configuration mode.

Configuration mode
Way to trigger it	One press on the USER button or specific ZCL command
Way to stop it	Another press on the USER button or specific ZCL command
Effects on the sensor	The CONF led (red) blinks (3 sec. OFF, 3 sec. ON) and the sensor sends an uplink frame every minute. The blinking is illustrated below this table.
Duration	The configuration mode lasts 10 minutes when it is triggered by pressing the USER button

- - A reassociation procedure can be fired either manually (see table below) or automatically if no downlink frame is received by the sensor during a given periodicity (4 days by default) or if a given number (100 by default) is reached or in case of failure (no acknowledgement received) by sending an applicative frame to the sensor.

The sensor keeps the AppEUi and DevEUI configured, Confirmed/Unconfirmed configuration and all applicative configurations. However, LoRaWAN configurations (channel, data rate…) are lost.

ReAssociation Mode
Way to trigger it	Three short presses on the USER button or ZCL command from LoRaWAN cluster.
Effects on the sensor	The ASSO LED (green) blinks as the “no commissioned sensor” LED is lit.

- - A factory reset, available on Watteco’s sensors, can be fired manually (see table below). It deletes all the applicative settings saved in the flash memory (i.e.: newly configured batches and reports will be replaced by the factory reporting configuration).

The sensor keeps the AppEUi and DevEUI configured. However, LoRaWAN configurations (channel, data rate…) and applicative configurations are lost.

Factory reset
Way to trigger it	Two short presses and one long press for approximately 7 seconds on the USER button.
Effects on the sensor	The CONF LED (red) and ASSO LED (green) blink at the same time briefly. All the applicative settings (for batches and reports) are deleted. The blinking is illustrated below this table.

IAQ actions:

Automatic CO2 Level indicator HMI

Below the Default automatic display of current CO2 level.

Excellent to Good
(Period: 30s)

Average to Bad
(Period/2: 15s)

Very Bad to Unhealthy
(Period/4: 7s)

Notice that VAQA'O Lt gives the visual indication about co2 level on its "IAQ led" according to some tunable parameters like Period or Thresholds. Please refer to "Concentration levels classification attributes" to learn more about that function.

User triggered CO2 Level indicator HMI

User can require an immediate display of current CO2 level indication by one TAP or one magnet pass or on the right magnetic switch (IAQ) of the sensor. After that the current level will be displayed through 7 blinks with the current CO2 level indication.

CO2 Calibration HMI and fresh air calibration selection

The calibration can be managed through magnet HMI. During this process the user can,

- - have a look at current Automatic BaseLine calibration state (activated or not)
  - activate or deactivate ABC on the sensor
  - start an immediate fresh air calibration.

These functions can be actuated by starting the Calibration configuration process with 3 passes on the right (IAQ) (magnetic switch) with the Magnet. When started the IAQ Led indicator will chase across the 3 colors Orange, Green, Blue during 30s. From there the device is waiting for action selection.

Each action can now be successively required by one more short pass with the magnet. The first short pass will show the current ABC calibration state: Blue => ABC ON; Orange ABC OFF. The next short passes will turn around the four following states:

- 1. Blue: Set (or Keep) ABC ON
  2. Orange: Set (or Keep) ABC OFF
  3. Green: Require an immediate "Fresh air" calibration. Using this function, the user should have ensured that air in the targeted room is correctly refreshed for a while (a few minutes) and avoid any human breathing close to the sensor.
  4. Orange, Green, Blue led chasing: Back to a state waiting for an action requirement. if kept at the end no action will be started.

The following animation shows a case where the user, looks at current ABC state (First pass => gives Orange so ABC is OFF), then roll over possible actions, and finally actuate an immediate "fresh air calibration" (Green).

Once any action is selected, this one will startup about 10s later without any new action (pass) from the user. And notice that any multiple quick passes with the magnet during this selection will interrupt current calibration process.

CO2 Calibration HMI : Example of calibration running

Below shows a "calibration process running". It can occur after having selected an "immediate fresh air calibration" or "when a periodic ABC is running ". It will then display successively following states:

- 1. Slow Blue Blink (2s period during 1mn): Sows that calibration will start soon (in case of manual fresh air calibration required). In this state, a multiple magnet passes can still stop all the process.
  2. Fast Blue Blink (0,5s period): Calibration is running; This state cannot be stopped and lasts a few seconds, depending on the number of iterations of calibrations tries.

About CO2 calibration capabilities:

On VAQA'O Lt and VAQA'O+Lt, calibration requests are limited to target contexts of 400 to 1500 ppm. Please do not attempt to set a calibration that takes the current measurement outside of this range.
Instead of using HMI, calibrations can be initiated trhough downlink specific commands. See Concentration cluster specfic commands.

Default "Main" configuration

VAQA'OLt sensors implements a default Batch and Standard configuration that manages all embedded measurements through a periodic reporting of up to 2 frames per hour. This default configuration can be summarized as follow:

The "Batch" part

It records environmental parameters with a 10 minutes max time sampling and sends them once or twice per hour:

On VAQA'O Lt :

- - Temperature with a resolution of 0.1°C
  - Humidity with a resolution of 1%
  - CO2 in a range of 0 to 5000 ppm, with a resolution of 10 pmm

In addition on VAQA'O+Lt :

- - Illuminance with a resolution of 10 Lux
  - Occupancy status

In addition on VAQA'O Multi Lt:

- - Atmosphéric pressure
  - Indoor Air Quality indicator (COV)

The "Standard" part

It monitors critical events on environnemental parameters

- - a report on case moving (violation)
  - an alarm/report on power supply lowering down to 2,9v and once each 5 days
  - an alarm on concentration of CO2 if 1500 ppm is crossed
  - In Addition VAQA'O+Lt produces an occupancy report each time a presence is detected
  - In Addition VAQA'O Multi Lt produces an alarm on IAQ if Indicd 300 is crossed

Any of these configurations can be removed or modified, and some different ones can be set. However, every change made to the default configuration must comply with the legal duty cycle. For example, the most restrictive in the EU is 0.1%, corresponds to approximately 2 frames per hour with the most constrained Spreading Factor : SF12.

Detailed default configurations

Note that each frame is preceded by a one-byte size prefix. When used for downlink on port 125 within most LoRaWAN infrastructures, this size prefix should be removed.

Alternate 'No Batch' configuration

VAQA'O Lt sensors has got an alternate default configuration that can be activated instead of default one. In this alternate configuration Batch is not used. Beware that this configuration is more verbose on radio and will drain battery faster.

Following configuration commands can be used to swap between default configuration and alternate one:

- - Set 'No Batch' default configuration: 11500050F101
  - Set Back default configuration : 11500050F100
