TD-150-BLE: Difference between revisions

We do not recommend using this functionality, but you can set the Full and Empty calibration values manually to save time when you are using sensors of the same length in the same tanks.<blockquote>'''<big>Attention!!! Setting calibration values manually will most likely increase the sensor error! We do not recommend doing this!</big>'''</blockquote>To do this, enter the Full and Empty calibration values of the previously calibrated sensor into the appropriate fields in the configurator.

In the main menu, you can change the operating mode of the sensor. The name of the mode coincides with the interface that is used to physically connect the sensor to the GPS terminal

Select the mode you need('''1''') and click '''“Save parameters to device”'''('''2''')

- '''Passive RS485''' should be selected when you plan to connect to line A and B of the terminal's RS-485 interface. The terminal must have the function of polling sensors, for example, requesting information from them. The terminal must be able to interrogate sensors in accordance with the '''LLS protocol'''.

- '''Frequency mode''' is used when connecting to a GPS terminal to inputs that can receive and read signals in the range '''300 Hz … 1323 Hz''' or '''300 Hz … 4395 Hz'''.

- '''Active RS485''' mode should be used if the terminal has an RS-485 connection interface, but cannot independently poll the sensor, for example, request information from it; the sensor will send its readings independently every 2 seconds.<blockquote>'''<big>Note: The analog output of the TD-150 is always active on the green wire in the 0.2-9V range, there is no need to turn it on separately</big>'''</blockquote>

If you are configuring the sensor to operate in RS-485, Active RS-485, or Frequency modes, you can select the range '''1-1023 or 1-4095''' ('''1''') . In frequency mode, the range will be from '''300Hz to 1323Hz or 300Hz to 4395Hz'''.

After changing the range, click “'''Save the parameters to device'''” ('''2''').

'''The range 1-1023''' is most often used for sensors that are '''shorter than 1 meter'''. However, if we are talking about a stationary tank, the height of which is small, but the length and width are more than 2-3 m, it is better to choose the range 1-4095.

The default network address of the sensor is 1; if more than one unit is installed or other LLS devices are added, the network address on the sensor may need to be changed. The network address of each sensor must also be specified in the settings of the receiving device (navigation terminal).<blockquote>'''<big>Attention!!! There cannot be two devices with the same network address on the same line; this will cause a conflict.</big>'''</blockquote>To change the network address, enter a new address in the range '''0-255''' in the '''“Change network address”''' field ('''1''') and click '''“Save the parameters to device”''' ('''2'''), after which the configurator should switch to the new sensor address and display the new sensor address in the field '''"Available units"''' ('''3''') and '''"Poll network address"''' ('''4''').
