TECHNOTONE DUT-E 485 FUEL SENSOR
Introduction to the Product
DUT-E fuel level sensor is used for accurate fuel level and volume measurement in tanks of vehicles and stationary units. DUT-E helps determine current fuel volume and detect changes (such as refueling or draining) in the fuel tank.
It is widely used in GPS tracking and vehicle telematics systems, either as an additional fuel sensor or as a replacement for the factory-installed sensor. When integrated into a telematics system, DUT-E provides reliable and precise data on fuel levels, helping detect fuel misuse and theft, and offering a comprehensive view of fuel consumption.

Device Configuration
- Connect the DUT-E sensor to the device via RS-485 ports.
- Open the configurator tool GUI_v2/v3.
- Click on Connect Sensor.
- For **Automatic mode**, set the "Automatic Transmission mode" to hex format with a desired time interval.
- For **Request mode**, disable "Automatic Transmission mode".
- Click on Save to Sensor.
- Now use the QCOM Tool to verify that the fuel data is visible after proper configuration.
