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'''.

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'''.

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.

# 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''').

To delete the sensor, push on it and swipe to the left. Then tap on the delete button and then disable.

== '''<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>
