Benefits of Escort TD-BLE Wireless Fuel Level Sensor
Modern wireless fuel level sensor technology is seen as an innovative solution to achieve your fleet’s fuel efficiency goals. Replacing traditional wired sensors, these advanced sensors are valued for their ease of installation, scalability, and flexibility. There are several advantages of switching over to these latest sensors, such as the Escort TD-BLE.
Explore the key features and specifications of the Escort TD-BLE.
The Escort TD-BLE is a pioneering creation in the wireless capacitive fuel level sensing technology market featuring Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Ease of Installation
With the Escort TD-BLE, it becomes easy to install your fuel monitoring system. There is no more need to lay cables through each vehicle’s system. Thus, this new fuel sensor saves valuable time that is otherwise required for installing and configuring conventional sensors.
Since the sensors do not require any wiring, there is no risk of tampering. Besides, wireless technology transmits data instantly to the control system in a more reliable way.
Thus, wireless sensors help reduce both initial installation and maintenance costs. Your vehicles can navigate the roughest terrain and still maintain connectivity.
Wireless Fuel Sensor Applications
Escort TD-BLE is designed for fuel level monitoring in different industries. Its wide-ranging application scenarios include:
Construction
In the construction industry efficient resource management is essential for a business’s sustainability and bottom-line. This is because this industry relies on the use of heavy machinery, making fuel consumption a major expense. This is where wireless fuel sensors such as Escort TD-BLE come into the picture and simplify the challenge of fuel management.
Logistics & Transportation
When it comes to logistics and transportation, fuel saving is the benchmark for successful operations. The use of wireless fuel sensors such as TD-BLE can help bring groundbreaking changes. The technology helps address immediate challenges such as fuel theft and various inefficient practices.
Agriculture
Agricultural operations involve the use of various types of heavy vehicles and machinery. Irrigation pumps, tractors, and harvesters are common fuel-consuming units on farms. When you switch over to wireless sensors, you can improve your operations’ efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
Some of the key features of the TD-BLE are as follows:
7 Years of Reliable Operation
This fuel level sensor is fitted with lithium-thionyl chloride batteries that deliver consistent and long-lasting power to the unit. When combined with low-energy, Bluetooth 4.0, this power source can enable the sensor to operate continuously for up to 7 years. Once installed, this fuel level sensor will require a battery replacement only after 7 years.
Durable Protection
The TD-BLE features an extra layer of protective cover of polyamide. This impact-resistant casing has been tested for its high level of endurance against different types of mechanical damage. This level of protection shields the sensor against all kinds of treatments it receives whether in a vehicle, storage tank, container, or machinery.
Tamperproof Design
Electrical and electromagnetic interference are common factors that can affect different types of sensors. However, that is not the case with Escort TD-BLE. So, the following incidences do not interfere with the sensor’s functioning:
- Surges in voltage
- Polarity inversion
- Voltage interference
Even intentional interference using stun guns and similar electrical devices cannot affect this fuel level sensor’s performance. Interestingly, any attempt by someone to tamper or interfere with this fuel sensor gets recorded within the system.
Protection from the External Factors
The sensor’s casing has IP69 protection under GOST 14254. Thus, moisture and dust cannot interfere with its functioning. It can also continue operating and transmitting accurate data in extreme temperatures. The fuel level sensor has been configured and tested for use in a temperature range of -60°C and +85°C. Besides, it can also operate in a wide range of pressure variations. Its operational pressure range is 84 kPa to 106.7 kPa.
In fact, the Escort TD-BLE has a unique thermal compensation algorithm programmed into it. It will automatically correct its fuel level to compensate for the external conditions.
Versatile Connectivity
Reliable connectivity is a must-have for any wireless fuel sensor to work effectively. TD-BLE is compatible with all the commonly used trackers. It relies on Bluetooth Low Energy to maintain connectivity with all the popular GPS and GLONASS trackers from Teltonika, Queclink, Navtelecom, GlonassSoft, Fort Telecom, Galileosky, Neomatica, Vega-Absolute, and Glomos.
