ESCORT TD-150 FUEL SENSOR: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:07, 22 October 2025

Introduction to the Product

The sensor ESCORT TD-150 determines the fill level of light oils in reservoirs (storage tanks). It is used as a fuel sensor in the automotive engineering field, and also as a level sensor for any light oils in industrial applications. The sensor converts the calculated fuel level into a digital code, frequency, or analog signals. It is a complete, finished solution.

To ensure explosion protection, it is necessary to connect a resistor of the appropriate rating to the power supply circuit. The presence of a resistor depends on the scope of delivery.

Configuration Guide

This guide outlines how to configure the RS485-based ESCORT 485 fuel sensor on Transight Telematics devices using commands.

Step 1: Select and Enable the Fuel Sensor Type

Defines the sensor model and number of sensors.

• Command Format


SET CUFUELTYPE:<Sensor Model>,<Number of Sensors>

• Example


SET CUFUELTYPE:ESCORT485,1

• Expected Response


IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: SET CUFUELTYPE:ESCORT485,1
 
Response: ESCORT485, 

Error : 0

• Verification Command


GET CUFUELTYPE

• Expected Response


IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: GET CUFUELTYPE
 
Response: ESCORT485,1

Error : 0

Step 2: Configure Fuel Sensor Communication Parameters

Set communication mode and output settings.

• Command Format


SET CUFUELDATACFG:<Sensor>,<Index>,<Network Address>,<Mode>,<Filter Type>,<Filter>,<Interval>

• Example


SET CUFUELDATACFG:ESCORT,1,00,PASSIVE1023,SMART,SMART_0

• Expected Response


IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: SET CUFUELDATACFG:ESCORT,1,00,PASSIVE1023,SMART,SMART_0
 
Response:

Error : 0

• Verification Command


GET CUFUELDATACFG:ESCORT,1

• Expected Response


IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: GET CUFUELDATACFG:ESCORT,1
 
Response: Mode: 0, Address: 0, Filter Type: 0, Filter: 0 Interval: 0

Error : 0

Parameter Reference Table

Parameter	Value Example	Description
Param1	ESCORT	Sensor type identifier
Param2	Index = 1	Defines sensor instance (1 to 3 supported)
Param2	Network Address = 0x01	RS485 address (0x00 to 0xE7)
Param3	Mode = PASSIVE1023	Modes: PASSIVE / FREQUENCY / PERIODIC with 1023 or 4095 resolution
Param4	Filtertype = SMART	Type of filtering: SMART or MEDIAN
Param5	Filter = SMART_0	Filter preset: SMART_UPTO_200, SMART_200_1000, MEDIAN_0 to MEDIAN_9
Param6	Output interval = 10	Time between sensor readings (in seconds)

Step 3: Set Fuel Sensor Output Interval

Configures periodic data transmission interval.

• Command Format


SET CUFUELMODE:<SENSOR INDEX>,<Mode (1=Request, 0=Periodic)>,<Interval>

• Example


SET CUFUELMODE:1,1,15

• Expected Response


IMEI: 862942074896044

Command: SET CUFUELMODE:1,1,15
 
Response:

Error : 0

⚠️ Mandatory Save Command

After completing all configurations, save them with:


SET CUMR:2

Step 4: Verify Fuel Data Transmission

Once configured, the device will transmit fuel data via telemetry.

🔍 Validation Checklist

Monitor incoming telemetry on your server

Confirm:

- Fuel level values are present

- Values update periodically

- Readings are consistent and accurate
