View source for ITALON FUEL SENSOR

== Introduction to the Product ==
ITALON Fuel Level Sensors (FLS) measure fuel level in fuel tanks of the vehicles and stationary objects. ITALON FLS are connected to GPS devices which in turn transfer all the data along with the fuel information to a server part of the solution.

==Configuration Guide==
 
This guide provides the configuration steps for RS485-based fuel sensors (e.g., '''OMNICOM485''') with Transight Telematics devices using commands.
 
==Step 1: Select and Enable the Fuel Sensor Type==

Defines the fuel sensor model and how many sensors are connected.
 
'''🔹 Command Format'''
<pre>
SET CUFUELTYPE:&lt;Sensor Model&gt;,&lt;Number of Sensors&gt;
</pre>
 
'''🔹 Example'''
<pre>
SET CUFUELTYPE:OMNICOM485,1
</pre>
 
'''🔹 Expected Response'''
<pre>
IMEI: 862942074896044
Command: SET CUFUELTYPE:OMNICOM485,1
Response: OMNICOM485,
Error: 0

</pre>
 
''' Example'''
<pre>

SET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1,MASTER_BINARY,19200,02,12,BINARY,1023
</pre>
 
'''🔹 Expected Response'''
<pre>

IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: SET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1,MASTER_BINARY,19200,02,12,BINARY,1023
 
Response:

Error: 0
</pre>
 
'''🔹 Verification Command'''
<pre>

GET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1
</pre>
 
'''🔹 Expected Verification Response'''
<pre>

IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: GET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1
 
Response: Mode: 1, BaudRate: 19200, Address: 2, Interval: 12, Default Output: 1

Error: 0
</pre>

|}
 
== ⚠️ Mandatory Save Command ==

After completing configuration, execute this command to save settings:
<pre>

SET TSMR:2
</pre>
 
== Step 3: Verify Fuel Data Transmission ==

After configuration, the device starts transmitting real-time fuel data via telemetry packets.
 
'''🔍 Validation Steps'''

* Monitor server-side data packets.

* Confirm:

** Fuel data values are present.

** Updates occur at the configured interval.

** Values are within the expected range.
 
----
 
'''Note:''' If fuel data does not appear in packets, recheck wiring and configuration.
