The most common mounting method is self-tapping screws with a sealing washer. It is also possible to install on threaded crimp nuts, welded bushings and other structural elements. The sensor can be mounted on pre-prepared places using screws and bolts with strength class not less than 4.8. It is necessary to ensure tightness of the connection between the sensor body and the tank. For additional protection it is allowed to use automotive oil and gasoline resistant sealant. | The most common mounting method is self-tapping screws with a sealing washer.

== '''Connection losses, issues with coordinates, power supply issues''' == | |||
In case TD-Online goes offline for several days, it is necessary to check the messages the device sent before going offline or, if it has come back online, to check the messages sent from the black box. On Wialon platform such messages are marked with blue color. | |||
The dianostic parameters that need to be checked are: | |||
- '''SRN''' - in case it is higher than 30, there is an issue with the GPS connectivity; either the connection with satellites is poor in this area or there is an issue with the device's GPS module or its antenna | |||
- '''RSSI''' - Received Signal Strength Indicator - shows the quality of GSM signal reception; if the values you see are below 20 this means that either the local 2G/4G coverage is poor or there's an issue with the GSM modem or its antenna | |||
- '''msg_num''' - a cumulative counter of the messages sent; it can reset from time to time but if it happens too often then most likely there's an issue with the power supply the sensor is connected to | |||
[[File:TDOnline diagnostic parameters.png|980x980px]] | |||
=== Checking the device manually === | |||
If the TD-Online in question is offline for too long, it is necessary to check it manually. | |||
Once next to the vehicle: | |||
1) Before doing anything with the wiring, try and check if the device can be detected via Escort app (via Bluetooth) | |||
2) If it cannot be detected, there's something with: | |||
* a) the cable | |||
* b) the fuse | |||
* c) the device itself | |||
3) Try and connect the TD-Online to an alternative power supply of 12-24 V (using C200M2 RS485-USB converter is an option) and check if it can be detected via the app; if this works, run a continuity check on the cable and the fuse using a multimeter; replace either or both of them if they are damaged | |||
4) If the TD-Online is detected via the app, try and hard reset it; should it come back online on the platform, be sure to report that to the tech support team | |||
5) If the TD-Online is detected via the app but doesn't come back online on the platform no matter what you try, download the log from it and share the file with the tech support; the log file is saved in the same folder where you previously saved a tank calibraiton table; if you have never saved any tables before, be sure to create and save one (you need only a few lines in the table with whatever values)<gallery widths="250" heights="400"> | |||

= '''<big>Firmware update</big>''' = | |||
To update the firmware, be sure to donwload a .zip file onto your smartphone first. Do not unzip it! | |||
Then, once the sensor is connected, go to the '''Additional Features''' menu, enter the sensor's password (1) and initiate the '''FW update''' (2). You will have 30 seconds to quickly select the FW file and start the update. Otherwise, after 30 seconds, the sensor will restart and you will need to reconnect it. <gallery widths="350" heights="400"> | |||

= '''<big>Connecting slave sensors (BLE and RS-485)</big>''' = | |||
TD-Online can function as a hub to which it is possible to connect up to '''8 slave sensors''' either via BLE or the RS-485 interface (in case of the wired sensors). | |||
== '''Pairing a BLE slave sensor''' == | |||
Go to the '''Additional settings''', once the TD-Online is connected to your smartphone via the app. Hit the '''"+"''' button. Then select '''Bluetooth''' (1), enter the sensor's name or its MAC address (2; both can be found on the sensor's head; the sensor's name is the model's letters TD, DU, TW, TH with a lower dash and the last 6 digits of the serial number f.e. TD_555666 or DU_222444) and tap on '''Connect'''. Or scan the slave sernsor's QR code (4).<gallery widths="300" heights="350"> | |||

== '''Connecting a wired slave sensor via the RS-485 interface''' == | |||
To connect a wired Escort-TD sensor as a slave device via the RS-485 interface, go to '''Additional settings''' menu, tap on the '''"+"''' button, then select the '''Wired''' option (1), enter the slave '''sensor's network address''' (2) and tap '''Connect'''. <gallery widths="300" heights="350"> | |||
