== '''<big>Configuring the virtual steering (spring) axle sensor when there are two sensors on the rear axle</big>''' == | |||
In addition, one of the latest firmware versions (1.1.6) introduced a feature for calculating the steering axis when more than one sensor is installed on the drive axles (to calculate the average reading from two sensors per axle). | |||
'''<u>Below are screenshots of the settings</u>''': | |||
After adding a virtual steering axis sensor with '''MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1''', you need to access its settings by clicking on it. | |||
[[File:ECargosens Air sensors page 1.jpg|center|frameless]] | |||
1) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.1"''' field, enter the serial number of '''<u>one of the sensors installed on the truck's rear axle</u>''' (semi-trailer axles are not required). | |||
'''<u>The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.</u>''' | |||
1.2) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.2"''' field, specify the serial number of '''<u>the second sensor installed on the same rear axle of the truck</u>''' (semi-trailer axles are not required). '''(Add by clicking the "+" button.)''' | |||
'''<u>The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.</u>''' | |||
2) Enter '''the rear axle weight''' (without the semi-trailer) in the '''"Rear Axle Load No."''' field. | |||
<u>If the truck has '''multiple rear axles''' and each is equipped with '''two sensors''', you must add '''another rear axle.'''</u> | |||
Use the '''"+" (plus)''' button to specify the serial number of the sensor installed on it and its weight without the semi-trailer. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, click the '''(Trash Can)''' button. | |||

Next, you must specify: | |||
1) '''the weight of the truck''' unit (the sum of the weights of all its axles, excluding the semi-trailer) or the weight of the dump truck | |||
2) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axles | |||
3) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the coupling device (the center of gravity of the dump body). This value '''cannot be greater''' than or equal to the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear | |||
4) '''The distance between''' the front steering axles (if there are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter '''the minimum value of 51 cm''' | |||
5) Select the '''"two-axle truck"''' operating mode if there '''are two''' steering axles | |||
6) Click '''"Save"''' | |||

'''<big>ATTENTION! The cab unit will calculate the weight of the steering axle and the total weight of the truck-trailer combination only if the calibration tables are stored in the sensors' memory!!!</big>''' | |||
'''<big>ATTENTION! To successfully use the "two-axle tractor" mode, you must add a second virtual steering axle to the cab unit with the same settings as the first one. The "two-axle" mode must be selected for both virtual sensors.</big>''' | |||

To '''connect''' a central unit to an '''I5 indicator''' in order to view the sum of all the sensors, including the virtual sensor of a steering axle, '''configure''' the i5 so it’s able to '''read or request''' the network addresses that are set for the certain sensors in the central unit. In the I5’s '''Display settings''' select the '''TD total level''' option. | To '''connect''' a central unit to an '''I5 indicator''' in order to view the sum of all the sensors, including the virtual sensor of a steering axle, '''configure''' the i5 so it’s able to '''read or request''' the network addresses that are set for the certain sensors in the central unit.

= '''Connecting the cabin unit to the I-5 digital display''' = | |||
The eCargosens cabin unit is connected to the '''digital "I-5 Display"''' for data output to the screen in accordance with our general pinout shown below ('''"Connection to the GPS Terminal"'''). Simply connect lines A and B of the display to the cabin unit, and connect the display to the power source in the same way as the cabin unit. | |||
'''NOTE: If the pressure value is displayed on the indicator, due to technical limitations, only the first 5 digits of the pressure value will be shown in the window.''' | |||
'''You can also display the total data from all sensors and the average data for each axis, but only one of the two at a time.''' | |||
== <big>'''Connecting the cabin unit'''</big> == | |||
If you need to connect the '''cabin unit''' only to the '''I-5'''—that is, if there will be no GPS tracker or other device to which the eCargosens system will be connected—you must connect the in-cab unit to the I-5, then select '''"Active Mode"''' in the mode settings and configure the polling interval (the I-5 will send requests). | |||
If, however, the cabin unit will be used in conjunction with the I-5 indicator and a GPS tracker/terminal, you should select '''Passive Mode.''' | |||
To pair the cabin unit and the sensors, tap '''"Connect Sensors"''' (Fig. 13, 2). Then tap the '''"+"''' button (Fig. 14). | |||
