Installation Guide

To connect the Box to LoRaWAN sensors
● Install the Box in a central location to ensure the reception of all sensors.
● If the quality of the LoRa signal is good: keep the original antenna installed on the Box. You
can check the quality of the LoRaWAN signal with:
○ A field tester
○ The Wattsense User Console. Once the Box and the LoRaWAN device are paired
you can verify the quality of the signal.
● If the signal quality is insufficient: move the original antenna out of the cabinet; use an RF
extension cord with a SMA connector up to 2 meters + 1 adhesive support to hold the
antenna.
● If the signal quality is still insufficient: use a High-gain antenna with a maximum of 10
meters of cable; this antenna can for example be used outside or in other floors to obtain
the best signal quality.
For each sensor, follow these steps:
1. Add the sensor to the user console (available at https://console.wattsense.com) by naming
it to be identifiable.
2. Save and send the configuration to the Box.
3. Activate the sensor; to do this, use the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
4. Check on the user console that the sensor is detected.
