1. Available product range
This protocol is suitable for SPT22WS/SPT22S series wireless
pressure/level/temperature transmitters.

2. Wireless type available

Lora、Lorawan、GPRS、LTE、NB-IOT、WIFI、433MHz, etc.
3. Mode of this protocol
The instrument uploads data actively, and the receiving device needs to respond within
2 seconds after receiving the data. There are two types of response content: one is to
confirm that the correct or wrong data is received; the other is to send a parameter setting
command.
4. Instrument upload protocol frame format

Start: 0x69, 1 byte.

Application number: 2 bytes, used to identify customer code, application system
code, or supplier code, high byte first, and low byte last.
Instrument number: 4 bytes, the unique identification code of the instrument, set in
production, high byte first, and low byte last
Data length: 1 byte, identifying the data length (number of bytes) of subsequent
transmission, excluding CRC16 and terminator, length = 17 means there is no
flowmeter data, length ≥ 39 means there is flowmeter data.
Main instrument data: including instrument status, main measurement value,
ambient temperature value, sending period, signal strength, main unit

Flowmeters quantity：1 byte，The number of information contained in the data
frame, that is, the number of devices connected (1-4)。
Flowmeter data：21 byte，Including 1-byte address, 8-byte floating-point standard
total amount (m³), 4-byte floating-point standard instantaneous volume (m³/h), 4-byte
floating-point pressure value (KPa), 4-byte floating-point Temperature value (°C).
All data ff indicates that the flowmeter of this address is failed of connection
Sending time: 6 bytes, sequential year, month, day, hour, minute, second; year first,
second second; year 1 byte, 0-256, century is fixed as 21st century: 0 represents
2000, 1 for 2001, 18 for 2018...n for 20n years.
CRC16 check: 2 bytes, starting from the start character, to the data 6 area; low byte
first, high byte after.
CRC16 calculation method:
(1) Preset a 16-bit register as hexadecimal FFFF (that is, all 1s); call this register a
CRC register;
(2) XOR the first 8-bit binary data (that is, the first byte of the communication frame)
with the lower 8 bits of the 16-bit CRC register, and place the result in the CRC
register;
(3) Shift the contents of the CRC register to the right by one bit (toward the lower bit),
fill the highest bit with 0, and check the shifted out bit after the right shift;
(4) If the shift out bit is 0: repeat step 3 (shift right one bit again);
If the shift-out bit is 1: XOR the CRC register with the polynomial A001 (1010 0000
0000 0001);
(5)Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the right shift is performed 8 times, so that the entire 8-
bit data has been processed;
(6)Repeat steps 2 to 5 to process the next byte of the communication frame until all
bytes are processed;
(7)The content of the obtained 16-bit CRC register is: CRC code;
(8) When the message is finally placed, the low byte of CRC16 is first, and the high
byte is at the end. Terminator: 0x16.
