''This section documents all safety-related information per IEC/IEEE 82079-1 and ANSI Z535.6 standards.''
== Product Overview ==
LIGO Fuel level sensor is produced and developed by SOJI Electronics Join Stock Company. The device is designed to measure the level of liquid fuels and other non-conductive liquids in vehicle's tanks and stationary fuel storages, applicable in different fields. The measured values will be t transformed into output signal in the form of: Analog, Frequency, RS232, RS485… and transmitted to a connected external device
 
Under particular conditions, the device can reach a high accuracy up to 99.5%. At present, on the market there are several lines of sensor using different technologies to measure fuel level such as: magnetically operated switches (reed switches), ultrasound wave (ultrasonic sensor), capacitive sensing (capacitive sensor). Among these ones, capacitive sensing technology is considered to have highest accuracy and greatest lifespan.

After installation, the sensor must be calibrated to ensure accurate volume measurement. Calibration table can be performed either on the platform (server) or locally on the sensor.
* '''Calibration table on the Platform (Server):''' The sensor sends raw level values (ranging from 0 to 4095) to the server via the telematic device. The platform uses a calibration table to convert these values into volume (liters).
* '''Calibration table on the Sensor:''' The sensor directly sends volume values (liters) based on the internal calibration table.
Note: For LIGO AIR sensors, the manufacturer recommends performing calibration table on the platform.

Safety Information

ℹ️ NOTICE — Installer Qualifications and Safety
  • LIGO SP Fuel Level Sensor measures the accurate fuel level in fuel tanks, therefore the device installation process also needs to be extremely accurate.
  • Installation technicians should be well-trained by specialists or experts in this field before installing the device.
  • Implement protection against electric shocks and electrical fires, labour safety and hygiene.
  • List of installing tools is provided in section APPENDIX A below.
  • List of accessories is provided in section APPENDIX B below.

Product Overview

LIGO Fuel level sensor is produced and developed by SOJI Electronics Join Stock Company. The device is designed to measure the level of liquid fuels and other non-conductive liquids in vehicle's tanks and stationary fuel storages, applicable in different fields. The measured values will be t transformed into output signal in the form of: Analog, Frequency, RS232, RS485… and transmitted to a connected external device

Under particular conditions, the device can reach a high accuracy up to 99.5%. At present, on the market there are several lines of sensor using different technologies to measure fuel level such as: magnetically operated switches (reed switches), ultrasound wave (ultrasonic sensor), capacitive sensing (capacitive sensor). Among these ones, capacitive sensing technology is considered to have highest accuracy and greatest lifespan.

  • Drill out four mounting holes according to the diagram:

The mounting hole diameter depends on the tank material:

  • ø 4 mm – for metal tank with wall thickness over 3 mm (cut M5 self screw M4.8)
  • ø 7 mm – for plastic and metal tank with wall thickness up to 3 mm (for rivets)

Measuaring the tank depth and cutting sensor'measuring probe

  • Cut the sensor's measuring probe so that its length is 25 mm less than the depth of the tank. Ensure that shearing line is perpendicular to the sensor longitudinal axis

Notes: Minimum allowable length of the measuring probe is 150 mm.

Installing screen filter

Screen filter is mounted on the measuring probe of sensor to protect measuring probe electrodes from mud and water. Using the filter extends significantly faultless lifetime of the sensor.

Screen filter mounting order: firstly put on fixator, then put on bottom stop and fix it with two side screws. Put the screen filter over bottom stop and fasten it with a fixator locks.

Installing and connecting

  • Applying oil-and-petrol resistant non-conductive sealant to ruber gasket

  • Put the sensor into the tank and fix: when fixing with rivets, use a rivet driver when bolting, put on a seal (per bolt), a spacer and a spring washer when fixing to plastic tanks with wall thickness over 3 mm, use vendor furnished self-tapping screws and a seal (per self-tapping screw)
  • Connect the sensors to an external device using 7m cable

  • Connect the fuse holder to LIGO sensor power cable (brown wire) in close vicinity to the vehicle power supply circuit
  • Installing the fuse in the fuse holder

Sealing

  • Install the bolt through a hole in the seal.

Configuration

Connecting sensor to smartphone and setting

To configure the LIGO AIR fuel sensor, download the LIGO BLE Configurator app on Appstore (for IOS) or CH Play (for Android devices).

Hereinafter LIGO BLE Configurator is referred to as the "application" or "app".

Note: For full operation, you must grant all the permissions requested by the app

Grant all the permissions request by program as above

Connecting sensor

Run the application and select the sensor you want to connect to, as shown in the pictures below:

  • Figure 19. Selecting sensor type
    Figure 19. Selecting sensor type
  • Figure 20. Connecting sensor
    Figure 20. Connecting sensor

Set Empty and Set Full

Step 1: Set Full

  • Immerse the sensor in fuel until the fuel reaches the sensor flange
  • Wait for C_working value to stablize and then press Set Full button

Step 2: Set Empty

  • Remove the sensor from the fuel and wait for 1-2 minutes allow the fuel drain from the measuring probe and then press Set Empty button.

Figure 22. Set Empty

Calibration table

After installation, the sensor must be calibrated to ensure accurate volume measurement. Calibration table can be performed either on the platform (server) or locally on the sensor.

  • Calibration table on the Platform (Server): The sensor sends raw level values (ranging from 0 to 4095) to the server via the telematic device. The platform uses a calibration table to convert these values into volume (liters).
  • Calibration table on the Sensor: The sensor directly sends volume values (liters) based on the internal calibration table.

Note: For LIGO AIR sensors, the manufacturer recommends performing calibration table on the platform.
