1. Description
The MCF-LW12CO2E is a battery powered sensor for indoor applications that reads temperature,
relative humidity, pressure, ambient light, IAQ air quality index and CO2. The device sends collected
data over the LoRaWAN® network. Ideally suited for a wide range of applications such as home
buildings, air quality monitoring and energy saving applications.

2.2 Installation
To ensure correct operation and reliable and consistent measurements, install the MCF-LW12CO2E
sensor away from direct sunlight and heating sources like radiators, conveyors, TV, lights etc. and far
away from doors and windows.
The device must be placed where the LoRaWAN® signal coverage is good (SF = 7 optimal, SF = 12
weak). The sensor must be installed vertically on a wall at about 1.5mt height. It must be at least
30cm away from metal objects, and 1mt away from electronic devices.

2.2.1 LoRa Tool
To deploy the sensor, download the latest LoRa Tool Android App to setup LoRaWAN credentials and
other preferences :
Always validate your settings by reading the NFC data after the sensor has restarted.
2.3 Power ON/OFF
The sensor is shipped completely off to prevent battery consumption during storage. It is therefore
necessary to carry out a first power-on prior to commissioning.
There are two ways to power on the sensor:
With NFC: Move the NFC antenna of the mobile (the exact position varies depending on the
model of the smartphone) to the sensor antenna, in the area shown in the figure:
Mechanical power on:
Open the case using a screw driver as follow:

e n g i n k o . s u p p o r t . c e n t e r - http://enginko.com/support/
By using a screw driver push button for 1s as follow, moving right:
Close the plastic case. Switch-on is visible by flashing of red and green leds.
At the first power-on, sensor will take from 1 to 3 minutes to give an effective measure of CO2.
In case of long period inactivity, if necessary, is possible to shut-off again the sensor to prevent
battery consumption, via downlink or with LoRa Tool App:

2.5 Battery
This sensor contains lithium battery, which must be disposed of separately.
MCF-LW12CO2E is provided with two Li-SOCl2 battery packs:
Code Description
MCF-1S4PE 14400mAh battery pack
MCF-1S2PE 7200mAh battery pack
Sensor needs both battery packs, otherwise performance and battery life are not guarantee.
This is the estimated battery life (in years) in the worst conditions:

2.5.1 Battery replacement
Battery packs must be replaced together, do not let the sensor run with battery packs with different
levels of charge.
remove the back panel of the sensor with a small screwdriver:
detach the batteries from the electronic board (batteries are secured with dual locking tape)
and disconnect both from the connectors:
