To pair the cabin unit and the sensors, tap '''"Connect Sensors"''' (Fig. 13, 2). Then tap the '''"+"''' button (Fig. 14). | |||

Next, select the '''"Wired"''' option, enter the network address (the value can range from 1 to 255), and click '''"Connect" (Fig. 23)'''. If the I-5 is not configured to operate in active RS-485 mode, or if there is no GPS tracker/gateway or other device that could request data from the sensor so that the I-5 can listen to the sensor’s response and display its readings, the data from the sensor will be displayed as 0 (Fig. 24). | |||
The sensor’s network address can be found and, if necessary, changed in the eCargosens mobile app | |||
'''Important! Each sensor connected via the RS-485 interface must have a unique network address.''' | |||
To have the I-5 send data requests to the cabin unit connected to it, open the '''Settings mode menu (Fig. 27, 4)'''. '''Passive mode''' is set by default '''(Fig. 28).''' | |||
If your eCargosens system will operate together with the '''I-5 indicator''' and a '''GPS terminal,''' leave '''Passive mode''' selected; no changes are necessary. | |||

If the '''eCargosens''' system will operate only with '''the I-5 indicator''', without a '''GPS terminal,''' select '''Active Mode'''. Then enter an interval in seconds ranging from 1 to 65 and click '''“Set”''' '''(Fig. 29).''' Next, click '''Save''' to apply the changes '''(Fig. 30).''' | |||

After selecting the '''Active RS-485 mode''' and setting the interval, you will see the axle load sensor readings in the app. | |||

To do this, connect to the '''eCargosens cabin unit''' and go to the '''RS-485 settings.''' | |||

Next, click on the connected axle load sensor and select the addresses for transmitting the sensor data. | |||

Next, connect '''the I-5 digital display''' to the '''eCargosens cabin unit''' via '''RS-485''', and configure the '''RS-485 settings''' to send data to the '''same addresses''' you selected in the '''cabin unit''' for the '''axle load sensor parameters.''' | |||

== <big>'''Calibration of trailer axles when only one sensor is installed'''</big> == | |||
In situations where only one sensor is installed on the semi-trailer but you need to display the weight of each axle separately on the I5 indicator screen or monitoring platform, you can use this method. | |||
[[File:ECargosens settings page app 4.png|center|frameless|618x618px]] | |||
In the app's main menu, go to the RS485 Settings section and select the sensor installed on the semi-trailer. In this menu, you can configure RS485 data transmission to the required addresses. Select the options as shown in the image: '''"Weight, RSSI," "Pressure, RSSI," "Pressure, Battery Voltage(Vbat)"''' | |||
Thus, the I5 display can provide information on the pressure and weight of the semi-trailer’s axles. The weight can be displayed on one of the I5 screens without recalculation, but to obtain the weights of the other axles, a calibration (weighing) table must be added in the corresponding menu of the display. When weighing the axles of a semi-trailer, the scales may show different masses on the axles even with the same load in the semi-trailer; therefore, the weighing tables for different axles may vary. | |||
<blockquote>It is important to remember that pressure values transmitted via RS-485 are reduced by a factor of 100. For example, 65,000 Pa will be transmitted as 650; '''therefore, when creating the calibration table in the I5 indicator, the pressure value must be divided by 100 before entering it into the table.'''</blockquote> | |||
You can upload the table itself to the '''I-5 display.''' | |||
To do this, you need to: | |||
1) Select the sensor in the '''I-5 display''' on the connection page and click on it; this will open the sensor settings menu: | |||
[[File:I-5 sensor settings 1.jpg|center|frameless]] | |||
2) Then click the red '''"Go to Calibration"''' button | |||
[[File:I-5 sensor settings 2.jpg|center|frameless]] | |||
<blockquote>Please note that you can import the table using an existing calibration file or enter the data manually.</blockquote> | |||
3) If you select '''"Select a file"''' the file explorer on your smartphone will open. Navigate to the folder where you saved the calibration file and select the desired file. | |||
[[File:File directory example 1.png|center|frameless|539x539px]] | |||
4) Then select the '''"Apply calibration table"''' checkbox. | |||
