1. Introduction
1.1 What is LoRaWAN Soil pH Sensor
The Dragino LSPH01 is a LoRaWAN Soil pH Sensor for IoT of Agriculture. It is designed to
measure the soil PH and soil temperature, so to send to the platform to analyze the soil acid
or alkali level. The probe is IP68 waterproof.
LSPH01 probe is made by Solid AgCl reference electrode and Pure metal pH sensitive
electrode. It can detect soil’s pH with high accuracy and stable value. The LSPH01 probe can
be buried into soil for long time use.
The LoRa wireless technology used in LSPH01 allows device to send data and reach
extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum
communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.
LSPH01 is powered by 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery, it is designed for long term use up to 5
years.
Each LSPH01 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these
keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

2. Configure LSPH01 to connect to LoRaWAN network
2.1 How it works
The LSPH01 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to
join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA
keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and power on the LSPH01. It will automatically join the
network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20
minutes.
In case you can’t set the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN OTAA server, and you have to use the
keys from the server, you can use AT Commands to set the keys in the LSPH01.
2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)
Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network. Below is the network
structure; we use the LG308 as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.
The LG308 is already set to connected to TTN network , so what we need to now is configure
the TTN server.
Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LSPH01.
Each LSPH01 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

2.6 Installation and Maintain
2.6.1 Before measurement
If the LSPH01 has more than 7 days not use or just clean the pH probe. User should put the probe
inside pure water for more than 24 hours for activation. If no put in water, user need to put
inside soil for more than 24 hours to ensure the measurement accuracy.
2.6.2 Measurement
Measurement the soil surface
Choose the proper measuring position. Split the
surface soil according to the measured deep.
Put pure water, or rainwater to make the soil of
measurement point to moist mud. Remove rocks
or hard things.
Slowly insert the probe to the measure point.
Don’t use large force which will break the probe.
Make sure not shake when inserting.
Put soil over the probe after insert. And start to
measure.
Measurement inside soil
Dig a hole with diameter > 20CM.
Insert the probe inside, method like measure the surface.
2.6.3 Maintain Probe
1. pH probe electrode is fragile and no strong. User must avoid strong force or hitting it.
2. After long time use (3~ 6 months). The probe electrode needs to be clean; user can use
high grade sandpaper to polish it or put in 5% hydrochloric acid for several minutes. After
the metal probe looks like new, user can use pure water to wash it.
3. Probe reference electrode is also no strong, need to avoid strong force or hitting.
4. User should keep reference electrode wet while not use.
5. Avoid the probes to touch oily matter. Which will cause issue in accuracy.
6. The probe is IP68 can be put in water.

4.1 Battery Type
LSPH01 is equipped with a 8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery. The battery is un-rechargeable
battery with low discharge rate targeting for 8~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly
used in IoT target for long-term running, such as water meter.
The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below
is the battery performance.
Minimum Working Voltage for the LSPH01:
LSPH01: 2.45v ~ 3.6v
4.2 Replace Battery
Any battery with range 2.45 ~ 3.6v can be a replacement. We recommend to use Li-SOCl2 Battery.
And make sure the positive and negative pins match.
4.3 Power Consumption Analyze
Dragino Battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery
calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to
check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.
Instruction to use as below:
Step 1: Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:
https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.pHp?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/
Step 2: Open it and choose

● Lithium-Thionyl Chloride Battery datasheet
● Lithium-ion Battery-Capacitor datasheet, Tech Spec
4.3.1 Battery Note
The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period application. It is not good to
use a high current, short period transmit method. The recommended minimum period for
use of this battery is 5 minutes. If you use a shorter period time to transmit LoRa, then the
battery life may be decreased.
4.3.2 Replace the battery
You can change the battery in the LSPH01.The type of battery is not limited as long as the
output is between 3v to 3.6v. On the main board, there is a diode (D1) between the battery
and the main circuit. If you need to use a battery with less than 3.3v, please remove the D1
and shortcut the two pads of it so there won’t be voltage drop between battery and main
board.
The default battery pack of LSPH01 includes a ER26500 plus super capacitor. If user can’t
find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most
case. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high frequency use (update period below 5
minutes)

5. Use AT Command
5.1 Access AT Commands
LSPH01 supports AT Command set in the stock firmware. You can use a USB to TTL adapter
to connect to LSPH01 for using AT command, as below.
Connection:
USB TTL GND <----> GND
USB TTL TXD <----> UART_RXD
USB TTL RXD <----> UART_TXD
In the PC, you need to set the serial baud rate to 9600 to access the serial console for
LSPH01. LSPH01 will output system info once power on as below:
Valid AT Command please check Configure Device.

6. FAQ
6.1 How to change the LoRa Frequency Bands/Region
You can follow the instructions for how to upgrade image.
When downloading the images, choose the required image file for download.
7. Trouble Shooting
7.1 AT Commands input doesn’t work
In the case if user can see the console output but can’t type input to the device. Please check
if you already include the ENTER while sending out the command. Some serial tool doesn’t
send ENTER while press the send key, user need to add ENTER in their string.
