2.3 Digital outputs:

Contact mode	SPDT
Max. power commutable	1250VA
Maximum switching voltage	250Vac
Minimum switching load mW	500mW (10V/5mA)
Min. Number of operation	100.000
Max. current	5A

If driving an inductive load in AC, a Snubber must be provided in parallel to the contacts formed by a RC resistance network = 100Ohm 2w in series with a 100nF 400Volt polyester capacitor. In the case of a DC-controlled load, an anti-parallel diode must be placed on the load (ex. 1N4007). Each line must be protected with a suitable fuse (FUSE).

3. LORAWAN™ ACTIVATION

The device supports the following activations on a LoRaWAN ^™ network:

NONE: sensor not activated

OTAA: needs settings of appkey and appEUI

OTAA MCF88: Over the air activation according to mcf88 specifications

ABP: needs settings of NwkSkey, AppSkey, DevAddr

The device exits factory activated with NONE mode. The devEUI of the device is shown on the product label.

MCF-LW13MIO is a Class C LoRaWAN ^TM device.

4. DEVICE CONFIGURATION

The activation parameters and the device settings can be read and modified via USB using the appropriate "LoRaWEB" desktop application (https://iot.mcf88.cloud/LoRaWeb/#/configuration):
