1. Introduction
1.1 What is LTC2 LoRaWAN Temperature Transmitter
The Dragino LTC2 Industrial LoRaWAN Temperature Transmitter is designed to monitor temperature for different
environment. It supports to read PT100 probe and convert the value to temperature and uplink to IoT server via
LoRaWAN protocol.
LTC2 supports Datalog feature. User can retrieve the sensor value via LoRaWAN downlink command.
LTC2 is powered by 8500mA Li-SOCI2 battery for long time measurement. The battery can run 2~10 years
depends on the network environment and working mode.
Each LTC2 has two internal 24-bit ADC interfacesand are calibrated on 12 set resistors to make sure the
accuracy measurement on wide range.
LTC2 is LoRaWAN v1.0.3 compatible. Each LTC2 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration,
register these keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

2. How to use LTC2?
2.1 Connect to PT100 sensors
LTC2 has different probe option provided for ordering, if user has LTC2 with probe, just skip this step. If user want
to connect to a 3rd party PT100 probe, please see CONNECT A 3rdPARTY PT100 probe.
2.2 How it works?
The LTC2 is working in LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode. Each LTC2 is shipped with a worldwide unique set of
OTAA and ABP keys. User needs to input the OTAA or ABP keys in the LoRaWAN network server so to register.
LTC2 will join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
On each uplink, LTC2 will check its two ADC Interfaces and get the temperature from the sensor and send out to
server.
2.3 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)
Here is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWANServer. Below is the network structure, in this demo we
use DLOS8 as LoRaWAN gateway.

User Manual for LoRaWAN End Nodes - LTC2 - LoRaWAN Temperature Transmitter User Manual
The DLOS8 is already set to connect to TTN. Rest we need to is register the LTC2 to TTN v3:
2.3.1 Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LTC2
Below is TTN screen shot:
• Create Application first.
• Manually Add a LoRaWAN End Device device. Choose OTAA and MAC v1.0.3
