BA-BLE Configuration | == '''<big>BA-BLE Configuration</big>''' == | ||
[[File:BA-BLE 1.png|thumb|BA-BLE Adapter (current design)]] | |||
The BA-BLE needs to be configured via Escort Configurator App ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ae.esensor.config&hl=en Android] and [https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/escort-sensor-configurator/id1483425085?l=en-GB iOS]). | |||
Power the BA-BLE up (12 to 24 V power supply): red wire must be connected to the PWR+, black wire - to the GND. | |||
On your smartphone, enable the Bluetooth and geolocation (grant the app access to the geolocation in the Permissions settings of the app on your smartphone). | |||

Press '''Sensor settings button'''. Afterwards, select '''BA-BLE'''. | |||
[[File:Sensor_settings._Main_page.png|frameless]] [[File:BA-BLE_selection.png|frameless]] | |||
Find the required adapter by typing the last 6 digits of its serial number. You can find the serial number on the case. | |||
You can also simply select the required sensor from the list and click the '''Connect''' button. | |||

== '''<big>Setting password</big>''' == | |||
It is strongly recommended that you set a password on the sensor in order to restrict access to its settings. When you connect for the first time, the application will ask you to set a password automatically. | |||
You can set, change and delete a password in the '''Additional Features menu'''. | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_additional_features.png|frameless]] | |||
Then, in the field that appears named "Password for changing settings", enter the password that you want to be used and tap on the '''Install''' button. | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_password_set.png|frameless]]<blockquote>'''<big><u>PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PASSWORD RESET PROCEDURE IS VERY TIME-CONSUMING. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE A RESPONSIBLE APPROACH TO SELECTING YOUR PASSWORD AND MAINTAINING ITS SAFETY.</u></big>'''</blockquote>'''<big>Also note that the password cannot start with 0.</big>''' | |||
To delete a previously set password, you must enter it in the '''Password''' field, then press the '''Enter''' and then the '''Delete''' buttons. | |||
'''Attention!''' By default, there is no password set on the sensor! If you connected the sensor and a password was already set on it, contact technical support. | |||
== '''<big>Main parameters</big>''' == | |||
After connecting the BA-BLE, you will see the main menu. | |||
[[File:Main_parameters_BA-BLE.png|frameless]] | |||
# BA-BLE serial number | |||
# Firmware version (hereinafter '''FW''') | |||
# Connected sensors and their current readings | |||
= '''<big>Sensor connection</big>''' = | |||
To connect sensors in the main menu of '''BA-BLE''' press “'''+'''” ('''1''') and, in the opened window, enter the sensor name or MAC address('''2''') and press “'''Connect'''”('''3'''). | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_adding_device.png|frameless]] | |||
To delete the sensor, push on it and swipe to the left. Then tap on the delete button and then disable. | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_remove_sensors.gif|frameless]] | |||
== '''<big>TD-BLE</big>''' == | |||
To connect a TD-BLE to a BA-BLE, in the main menu, press “+” ('''1''') and, in the opened window, enter the sensor name( TD_******, where ****** are the last 6 digits of the sensor's serial number) or MAC address('''2''') and press “'''Connect'''”('''3'''). | |||
You can find the sensor's name on the sensor's head (the last 6 digits of the serial number) or when searching for or connecting the sensor in the mobile app (viable only on Android devices: Apple's policy forbids the advertising of MAC addresses). | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_TD-BLE_connection.png|frameless]] | |||
After connecting the sensor, go to the settings by taping on its name. | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_TD-BLE_search.png|frameless]] | |||
After the switch, you will see the current sensor data, to configure the data transmission, go to the '''RS-232 or RS-485''' settings depending on which data transmission interface you are going to use. | |||
[[File:BA-BLE_TD-BLE_main.png|frameless]] | |||
Next, enable the transmission of the required parameters and, in the opened window, select the required network address (0-255) through which this parameters will be transmitted and then tap on '''Save'''. '''For the connection with the MettaX MC202X select the network address 1.''' | |||

<blockquote>Due to the RS-232's limitations you can connect only 1 sensor (be it a TD-BLE paired with a BA-BLE or a TD-600) via 1 network address. Be sure to select only the '''Level and Temperature''' option in case of connecting a BA-BLE.</blockquote> | |||
To learn more on how to configure a TD-600 sensor, please, refere to this wiki page: [[TD-600]]. | |||
