===== '''<big>Ladder shape tank's tank calibration</big>''' =====
When calibrating, it is necessary to create two tables, one for "'''FLS 1'''" and the second for "'''FLS 2'''"
Let's assume that the calibration step is 10 liters.
At the beginning of calibration, when the fuel is in the "'''Red Zone'''", the level changes will only occur on "'''FLS 2'''", so we directly add calibration steps of 10 liters to the table for "'''FLS 2'''".
When the fuel is in the "'''Yellow Zone'''" changes will occur on both "'''FLS 1'''" and "'''FLS 2'''", during this period we record changes in both tables with half a step, that is, we also fill in 10 liters, but we record 5 liters in the table of each sensor.
When the fuel is in the "'''Green Zone'''" the changes will only occur on "'''FLS 1'''" so we directly add calibration steps of 10 liters to the table for "'''FLS 1'''".
On the platform "'''FLS 1'''" and "'''FLS 2'''" are started as separate sensors with their own tables and then a third virtual sensor is created with the sum of liters for two sensors, an example of starting two FLS on the platform is shown [https://docs.google.com/document/d/14p9GYmY0D1Wjz0ZfJXO-soVfxRBP7EiY7TgibD6vmZQ/edit?usp=sharing in this instruction.]

</gallery>Proceed to tank calibration. This procedure will result in a "level-liters" (or "level-gallons") table that will allow your monitoring platform to convert the level values that the sensor provides into liters/gallons that are displayed in the monitoring platform reports. You can save the table to the sensor's memory so that the sensor immediately outputs volume values in liters/gallons. You do not need to enter a calibration table on the monitoring platform. The internal memory of the TD BLE sensor can hold up to 50 lines of the calibration table. The capacity of the table on the monitoring platform is usually larger.<blockquote>In addition, it is easier to change the table or correct errors in the calibration table when it is downloaded to the platform than if the table is stored in the sensor's memory</blockquote>In order to create such a table, you need to fill the tank by step by step adding fuel to the tank batch by batch and recording level-liter(/gallon) value pairs after each batch using the Tare menu in the application.

If this error occurred after the start of operation of the sensor, it means that most likely these impurities got into the sensor tubes from the tank and in this case it is also necessary to flush the tank.  
If this error occurred after the start of operation of the sensor, it means that most likely these impurities got into the sensor tubes from the tank and in this case it is also needed to ensure that the tank itself doesn't contain any contaminations. Clean the tank, if necessary. Note that a fuel level sensor installed outside a contaminated tank may function correctly, but the same sensor installed in such a tank may generate this error code.

== '''<big>Loss of communication with the tracker or error codes 65530, 0, 65532, -4</big>''' ==
The most common cause of communication loss is low signal strength between the tracker and the sensor.
It is recommended to measure the average signal strength at the tracker (RSSI) during installation. A good signal strength is considered to be between -35 dBm and -85 dBm.
If the signal strength is lower than optimal, it can be improved by pointing the sensor antenna towards the receiving device.
[[File:Antenna direction.png|frameless|585x585px]]
The main factor that affects the strength of signal reception is obstacles. Therefore, it is important to place the tracker in a location with as few obstacles as possible between it and the sensor.
If you cannot improve the signal quality of the tracker, you can use '''RS-485 BLE''' base or '''[[BA-BLE]]'''.With a base station, the signal should become more stable. If necessary, the base can be placed in a remote location away from the tracker where there is less obstruction to the signal, or it can be moved outside the cabin, as the base motherboard is protected with compound and has wind and moisture protection.
You can unload the data from the black box to check if there is data transmission from the sensor during moments of communication loss.
== '''<big>Tracker Communication Error Codes</big>''' ==
65530 - error code of Navtelecom trackers, it means loss of connection.
Some of the trackers can send 0 in the fuel level parameter as a loss of communication error code, the sensor can only send values 1-4095 and error codes 7000 and 6500.
Teltonika trackers can send 0 in the level parameter and -4\65532 in the temperature parameter as a loss of communication error code.

Remove the battery. When replacing the battery, please note that the current TD-BLE may use a battery model that is different from the one that corresponds to the previous sensor housing; namely: Saft LS17500 (ordered as a separate option).

   After you have replaced the battery and checked the functionality of the sensor using a mobile application, the holder with the battery inside should also be filled with lithol.
