3. LoRaWAN Registration: Each S31B-LB unit is pre-loaded with unique keys (DevEUI, AppEUI, AppKey). Register these keys with your local LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS). Refer to your LNS documentation for specific registration procedures.
4. Yatsani: The device is powered by an internal 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery. Once the probe is connected and keys are registered, the device will automatically attempt to connect to the LoRaWAN network upon power-on.
5. BLE Configuration (Optional): For initial configuration or parameter adjustments, you can use a compatible mobile application to connect to the S31B-LB via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This allows for easy setup without needing a direct physical connection.
6. Kuyika: Position the sensor and its external probe in the desired location for temperature and humidity monitoring. Ensure the probe is exposed to the environment you wish to measure, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources that could skew readings.

Once set up and connected to the LoRaWAN network, the S31B-LB operates autonomously:

• Data Measurement: The SHT31 probe continuously measures temperature and relative humidity.
• Kutumiza kwa Data: Measured data is periodically transmitted to your LoRaWAN network server. The transmission interval can typically be configured via BLE or the LoRaWAN network server.
• Alamu ya Kutentha & Chinyezi: You can configure specific temperature and humidity thresholds. If the measured values exceed or fall below these thresholds, the sensor can trigger an alarm, sending an immediate notification to your IoT platform.
• Datalog Function: In instances where the LoRaWAN network connection is temporarily lost, the S31B-LB will store measurement data internally. Once the network connection is re-established, the stored data will be uploaded to ensure no data loss.

6. Kusamalira

The S31B-LB is designed for low maintenance:

• Moyo Wa Battery: The internal 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery provides an estimated operational life of up to 5 years under typical usage conditions. Battery replacement should be performed by qualified personnel if necessary.
• Zosintha za Firmware: The device supports wireless Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates. Check the Dragino official website or your LoRaWAN network provider for available updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
• Probe Cleaning: While the SHT31 probe is housed in a waterproof, anti-condensation casing, occasional gentle cleaning of the probe's exterior may be necessary to remove dust or debris that could accumulate over time. Use a soft, damp nsalu ndi kupewa abrasive zipangizo.

If you encounter issues with your S31B-LB sensor, consider the following:

• Palibe Kutumiza Deta:
  • Verify that the device's unique keys (DevEUI, AppEUI, AppKey) are correctly registered on your LoRaWAN Network Server.
  • Ensure the sensor is within range of a LoRaWAN gateway. Obstructions or distance can affect signal strength.
  • Check the battery status. Although designed for long life, extreme conditions or prolonged high-frequency transmissions can reduce battery life.
• Kuwerenga Molakwika:
  • Ensure the external probe is securely connected to the main unit.
  • Verify the probe's placement. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with poor air circulation that could affect readings.
  • Clean the probe gently to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
• BLE Connection Issues:
  • Onetsetsani kuti Bluetooth yayatsidwa pa foni yanu yam'manja.
  • Make sure you are using the correct mobile application for Dragino devices.
  • Ensure the sensor is powered on and within close proximity to your mobile device.
