About

Connected Inventions Detectify is an

industry grade passive infrared (PIR) sensor
for movement detection indoors. The device
utilises ultra low power two way radio
communications with both Sigfox and LoRa
network technology (user selectable). The
device is battery powered and the batteries
can last up to ten years. There are two
different versions of the device: 90 degree
wide detection angle version (see picture
below) for sensing motion in rooms and 30
degree narrow detection angle version (see
picture below) for more restricted areas like
work desks. The device can be used for
alerting immediately about movement in
space as well as counting movements
periodically and cumulatively

Activity

Detectify R5 has two modes: Activity mode (AM) and Inactivity mode (IM). In Inactivity mode,
the device waits to detect movement. Once movement is detected, the mode is changed to
Activity Mode, Activity Counter and Cumulative Activity Counter are incremented and
message is sent immediately. While in Activity mode, the device counts 3 second time slots
where movement is happening and increments counters accordingly. After Activity Reporting
Period (ARP) has been reached, the device will send a message with incremented counters
and starts a new Activity Reporting Period. Still in Activity Mode, in case no movement was
detected until Inactivity Detection period (IDP) was reached, the last movement counters are
sent and the device goes to Inactivity mode. Once Inactivity Reporting Period (IRP) has
passed without any movement, the device sends periodical inactivity message

Assembly & Installation

Save the identi er and the key of the

device
The Sigfox identi er, LoRa DevEUI and
the PAC key are on the label on the
bottom of the device. You can also read
the identi er and the PAC key using the
QR code. The picture below is an
example of a label

Please provision the device into network management system before

switching the device on

In case the device was switched on before provisioning, it might take 24h
for the device to make re-join to network

Use a small screwdriver to slide the mode switch to

desired network mode. “SF” is for Sigfox and “LR” is
for LoRa.
After network selection, use a small screwdriver to
slide the power switch to “I” position. Please note the
On switch should slide relatively effortlessly

Sigfox ! Do not use excess force to

slide the switch

 • Install the device to a suitable

position to detect movement.
Maximum detection distance is
approximately ve meters.
• The detection angle of the device is
about 30 or 90 degrees depending
on the version.
• You can use direct screw plate
(included) or angle joint support
(included) for attaching the device to
surface.

Please note! Avoid placing device

closer than 15cm from any metal
!
or magnetic object, electric

! cables, electric devices or

selective glass as this will
dramatically reduce radio
performance as well as battery
life of the device

 After attaching the screw plate,

place the device to screw plate
so that the pins fall through
twist-holes on the bottom of the
device and twist clockwise until
the device locks into place

For work desk installation,

make sure the hinge of the
screw plate is pointing to metal
support structure (if any) Antenna

Attach the device to screw plate

pins so that the antenna is
pointing away from metal
structure and twist gently
clockwise until device locks in
place. Avoid placing the
antenna closer than 15cm from
any metal objects

 Uplink messages
There are four types of messages the device will be sending:
• Measurement message without counter

• Measurement message with counters

• Initial system message (only once right after device has been powered on)

• Periodical system message (after every downlink request)

Indexing: bytes are in big-endian order and bits in standard 76543210 "little endian" order.

 Downlink
• Settings of the device can be updated with the downlink message
• Device requests new settings after power switched on and later approximately
every 24 hours
• You must be careful when you update the setting
• settings affect both the network subscription and the battery life of the
device!
• Downlink message is optiona
• If any downlink message is not received, device continues with the current
setting
• Detection interval and how often messages are sent when the space is available or
occupied can be adjusted with the settings
• Device can be made to resend rst periodical activity/inactivity message to make
sure it is receive
• Default settings when device has not been con gured with downlink:
• Default activity reporting period is 22 minute
• When the space is occupied, a message is sent after every activity period
with updated counter values
• When the space becomes available the status will be sent after Inactivity
Detection Period. The default value is 15 minutes.
• After inactivity message has been sent, the device goes to Inactivity mode:
when activity is detected, status message will be sent immediately with
counters increased and activity mode starts
• Default inactivity reporting period is about eight hours
• After inactivity period has expired without activity detected, the status
message is sent without counters increased and new inactivity period

!
• In case the new settings are not valid or the DL message is not received, the
device will continue working with the current settings

Troubleshooting
• Ensure the power is switched o
• Check there is network coverage availabl
• Ensure the device is not installed near metallic objects, electric cables,
electric devices or selective windows
• Metallic roofs, steel reinforced concrete, underground location and other
obstacles can dramatically reduce radio signal
• Check the operation mode of the device
• Incorrect downlink con guration will affect the behaviour of the product
• Ensure the downlink con guration is properly done.
