How to test a fuel sensor with Pro5 Lite device

This article describes how to check a fuel sensor over serial communication when the data is not shown, or it is intermittent.

Explanation:

The fuel sensor may show data intermittently, especially when there are two fuel sensors and the serial communication protocol uses RS485.

Guidelines:

1. Check the device configuration Ruptela FLS User Manual

2. Check the device connection Ruptela FLS Quick Start Guide

3. If the sensor values are fluctuating unexpectedly or missing, please verify the following configuration:

· In the Advanced Configurator, navigate to "IO events" in the Port C option, set the configuration as “Fixed address polling”.

· Fixed address polling - in this case Digital fuel sensor C1 parameter will show the value from address 0x01, C2 from 0x02, and so on. In other words, with Fixed address polling IO parameter is always assigned to the same address. C1 to 0x01, C2 to 0x02, …. C10 to 0x0A.

Expected outcome: Once the device is configured, the data will be displayed correctly in each sensor.
