Major advantage is faster response compared with GPS tracking platform fuel theft detection. Driver can be informed by SMS about fuel theft and it will be not too late.

Usual Dominator RS/Dominator CAN can be used. K-line/OUT wire – alarm output. Depending from connection you can switch built-on Pull-up resistor ON/OFF.
Fuel theft threshold (max. fuel consumption in liters per hour) must be set in confugiration software. And tank calibration table must be stored inside sensor.

Video

As soon as GPS tracker polls sensor to get data and sensor replying - Eurosens Display must work in "passive" mode and make only RS485 line monitoring.

What we need:
1. Eurosens Display firmware v1.2 or newer
2. Eurosens Dominator firmware v.2.5 or newer
3. Eurosens Display configuration software v.0.9 or newer

All latest firmware and software you can download from our website www.mechatronics.by

How it is configured shown below

Fuel level sensor - Dominator RS
But you can use fuel level sensors of another manufactures with same data protocol.

We leave Dominator RS head at deep freeze chamber of the fridge for 18 hours. And then we heated it by industrial dryer.

At this video you can see how Detector value and temperature value of electronic board are changing during experiment.

Detector - internal value, not passed from digital processing altorythms.

Start detector value (-30 Celsius) at the beginning of the experiment : 3318
Maximum detector value during experiment : 3322
Minimum detector value during experiment : 3302 (+29 Celsius)
After video was stopped the sensor was still connected to PC. And we have a full plot

Hot casing still transfer heat to the electronic board at 10 minutes. And last temperature of board : 36 Celsius.
But detector values not excess values mentioned above.

So, maximum change of detector value during experiment (from -30 to +36) is 20 (3322-3302).

How big this value?
For 500 mm sensor, this detector value will change from EMPTY to FULL value approximately by 3000.
For 700 mm : 4500
For 1000 mm  : 6000

So, temperature error of sensor itself is less than 0.7% (at range from -30 to +36 degrees).

Installation manual:

Sensors have absolutely same features, connector , wiring and firmware. Sensors are cross-compatible by mounting place and cable.

Only difference : small height of casing and external connector.

The implemented technical solutions to enterprises of fuel consumption monitoring control depends from a  local provider of GPS tracking installation and services. Local provider carry out equipment installation and assist a customer to integrate GPS tracking system in business. GPS tracking services market has a big competition now and providers must  provide quality service at an affordable price, or leave the market.

Important point : Many customers think that GPS tracking system with fuel monitoring subsystem cost consist from 2 values:
1.    Price of components and installation (one-time buy or lease)
2.    Monthly fee payment for GPS tracking services.

It is a usual scheme in GPS tracking business, may be have some features sometimes but mostly like this.

But it is not all cost factors, at least when we talk about fuel consumption monitoring. When buyer expects that the system will work for 6-10 years – very important cost is system maintenance. Eurosens Dominator fuel level sensor was designed  on the basis of the problem to minimize the total cost of acquisition and maintenance over the life cycle. To be cheaper than China – it is a possible.

1. The cost of a fuel level sensor replacement on-site (driving 400 km away from your office) can exceed the cost of the sensor. If sensor was damaged during inappropriate use it can be compensated by fleet owner.  But someday he will be tired from it. 

Solution: The modular design of the fuel level sensor and byonette quick-mount allows you to make easy remote diagnosis. Than GPS tracking provider can send new sensor head to customer and he will be able to replace it in 5 minutes. Broken sensor head can be examined later in office. This procedure excludes staff driving to site - most costly part of fuel monitoring system maintenance.

2. Fuel level sensor replacement for most models of sensors (in which the electrodes are not detachable from the sensor head) is required to carry out re-calibration of the fuel tank. As a result, the procedure takes at least an hour. Accumulated cost of pause in operation of customer vehicle (sometimes very expensive vehicle) may exceed the value of the fuel level sensor.
Solution :  After replacing  of sensor head is not required to carry out recalibration of the tank – because sensor electrodes still the same.

3. When GPS tracking provider reinstall the GPS tracking system equipment from one vehicle to another is it often required to buy a new fuel level sensor because the old sensor is cutted  to a shorter length.. Accumulated cutted short sensors can not be used again.
Solution : Customer can buy cheap new electrodes for Eurosens Dominator.

4. After several years of operation is very frequent damage of the fuel level sensor is damaged cables at their entry into the sensor head. Sensor replacement is required.
Solution : At the sensors Eurosens Dominator connector is located directly in the sensor head. Only cable can be damaged, which cost significantly less than the sensor.

5. After several years of operation some dirt can be cluttered inside sensor electrodes and affect to sensor operation. Usual sensors have dismountable design and customer can’t clean electrodes inside.
Solution : Eurosens Dominator electrodes can be cleaned even by your customer. Easy disassembling.

6. Driver can create voltage peaks up to 100V in onbord power supply.
Solution : Eurosens Dominator has an unique strong protection circuit. Sensor can be powered by voltage 170 Volt max.

7. When customer replaces a sensor with usual screw mounting – screw installation in same holes becomes worse.
Solution : Replacing of sensor is fast, no need to screw again. New sensor is fixed and sealed in a byonette mount.

Cost of Eurosens Dominator manufacturing is bigger than usual sensors but Eurosens – it is a new brand. So, Eurosens Dominator pricing is lower than well-known Omnicomm sensors, and lower even than such manufacturers as Epsilon or Technoton. Only China fuel level sensors is cheaper. 

But  during operation life of sensor total  (buy and servicing) cost of Eurosens Dominator will be lower.

Examples of data

Even not-smoothed data is good enough for refueling report calculation, data is not worse than well-known diesel fuel measurements.

In this mode you connect acoustic probe directly to PC via USB adapter. While external unit works only as power supply provider for acoustic probe

Fuel Level Sensor Eurosens Dominator
fuel flow sensor Eurosens Direct, Delta

Sensors are powered from USB too, no external voltage source is needed.

For data transfer a single-wire interface K-line is used.

Drivers for Destination 01 service kit are common FTDI drivers with virtual COM-port option.
You can download them in the attachment.

To configure the sensor use the appropriate software (different foe level sensors and flow meters).

Here you can find some proven and tested combinations.
