Installation

This guide will walk you through the installation process of the Spirit LoRaWAN Radon Detector.

What you need

• Spirit LoRaWAN Radon Detector
• Power adapter and USB cable
• LoRaWAN Network at the installation site (e.g., ChirpStack, The Things Network, etc.)

Environmental Requirements

• Avoid large metal objects or thick walls that may obstruct the LoRaWAN signal
• Ensure stable temperature and humidity within the device’s operating range

Step-by-step Installation

1. Unbox the Device
   • Carefully remove the Spirit LoRaWAN Radon Detector from its packaging. Ensure all components are present.
2. Power the Device
   • Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn on the device. The LED indicator will light up, indicating that the device is powered on.
3. Connect a power source
   • Spirit has an internal battery that can last for almost 2 months, but it is recommended to keep it plugged in to a power source for permanent operation. You can either connect it to power using the provided USB cable, or by the internal 12-24V power connector.
4. Install the Device
   • Position the device in a location that is representative of the area you want to monitor. Avoid placing it near windows, doors, or ventilation systems.
5. Connect to LoRaWAN Network
   • Use the device’s unique identifiers (DevEUI, AppEUI, AppKey) to register it with your LoRaWAN network server.
   • Follow the instructions provided by your LoRaWAN network provider to complete the registration process.
6. Verify Connectivity
   • After registration, check the network server dashboard to confirm that the device is successfully connected and transmitting data. For more details, refer to the LoRaWAN Network Server Setup guide.
7. Monitor Data
   • Make sure that our JSON Decoder is set up in your LoRaWAN network server to decode the data sent by the Spirit device.

All done!

• Your Spirit LoRaWAN Radon Detector is now installed and operational. You can monitor radon levels through your LoRaWAN network server.
