4. Functionality
The NV-R718Y operates as a multi-parameter environmental sensor within a LoRaWAN® network. Its primary function is to detect smoke particles using a photoelectric sensing chamber. When smoke enters the chamber, light scattering triggers an internal signal that is processed by the device’s microcontroller. If the smoke concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, the device sends an alarm message via LoRa® to the network gateway.
In addition to smoke detection, the NV-R718Y continuously measures differential air pressure and ambient temperature. The differential pressure sensor monitors the pressure difference between two points, which can be used to assess ventilation efficiency, detect filter blockages, or maintain positive/negative pressure environments. The temperature sensor provides real-time thermal data for environmental monitoring or HVAC optimization.
The device transmits data periodically or upon threshold events. It can be configured to send regular status updates (e.g., every 10 minutes) and immediate alerts when smoke or abnormal pressure/temperature conditions are detected. The LoRaWAN® communication enables integration with IoT platforms for data visualization, analytics, and automated control.
Typical Use Cases:
- Fire detection and early warning in commercial buildings, warehouses, and residential complexes
