How to Replace LoRaWAN Sensor Batteries
If your LoRaWAN sensor shows a low battery alert or is no longer working, it’s time to replace the battery. Follow the steps below for different sensor models.
Note: These instructions are specifically for LoRaWAN sensors. For Bluetooth sensors, refer to their respective battery replacement guides.
Jolt Temperature Sensors (Models: JRB301 & JRB004)
Gather Your Tools:
Small screwdriver (Phillips head)
Replacement Panasonic 3V CR123a battery
Open the Sensor:
Use the screwdriver to remove the screws and open the sensor casing.
Press on the side of the sensor without the magnet, then pull away the bottom side.
If needed, use a pen or small tool to depress the connector.
Replace the Battery:
Insert the new battery, aligning the positive (+) and negative (-) ends with the contact points inside the sensor.
Reassemble the Sensor:
Put the sensor casing back together and screw it back in place.
Tip: Always use the recommended Panasonic 3V CR123a battery for optimal performance.
Dragino Temperature & Humidity Sensors (Models: DLHT65 & DLHT65N)
Check Battery Status:
Press the “ACT” button on the sensor. If no lights respond, the battery is likely dead.
Replace the Battery:
For DLHT65N: Unscrew the battery door on the back, replace the battery, and screw the door back on.
For DLHT65: Batteries cannot be replaced without damaging the sensor. Consider replacing the entire sensor if the battery is dead.
Tip: Regularly check the sensor’s battery status to avoid unexpected outages.
LRD01 & LRTD01 Sensors
Gather Your Tools:
Replacement AA batteries (use Lithium-ion batteries if the sensor will be in a freezer)
Open the Battery Door:
Unscrew the battery door on the back of the sensor.
Replace the Batteries:
Remove old batteries and insert new ones, making sure to match the battery type with the sensor’s environment.
Close the Battery Door:
Screw the door back into place.
Tip: Use Lithium-ion batteries for environments below freezing to ensure reliable performance.
Additional Tips
Battery Disposal: Dispose of old batteries properly according to local regulations to protect the environment.
Battery Life: Regularly check battery levels and replace batteries as needed to maintain sensor accuracy.
Sensor Placement: Ensure sensors are placed in environments compatible with the battery type used (e.g., using appropriate batteries for temperature extremes).
