LIGO Air Configuration
This page describes how to configure the LIGO AIR fuel level sensor, including BLE mobile application setup, calibration procedure (Set Empty / Set Full), calibration table options, and advertising protocol integration.
Mobile Application
To configure the LIGO AIR fuel sensor, download the LIGO BLE Configurator app:
- iOS: Available on App Store
- Android: Available on Google Play (CH Play)
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 (Camera, Location, Nearby devices, Bluetooth).
Connecting Sensor
- Run the application
- Open the device list and select the sensor you want to connect to
- Wait for the sensor to appear in the discovered devices list
- Press Connect next to the desired sensor
Each sensor in the list shows:
- Device name (e.g., LIGO AIR_7EEF7E7F)
- RSSI (signal strength)
- Temperature
- Current fuel level
- Battery voltage (Vbat)
- Firmware version (FW)
Recommendation: Signal strength (RSSI) at the receiving device must be ≥ -80 dBm. For weak signal cases, use LIGO AIR PRO or LIGO AIR ADAPTER.
Calibration: Set Empty / Set Full
After installation, the sensor must be calibrated to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 1: Set Full
- Immerse the sensor in fuel until the fuel reaches the sensor flange
- Wait for the C_working value to stabilize
- Press Set Full button in the app
Step 2: Set Empty
- Remove the sensor from the fuel
- Wait for 1–2 minutes to allow the fuel to drain from the measuring probe
- Press Set Empty button in the app
Reference Values
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| C_working_compensated | Current capacitance value (temperature compensated) | 19747 |
| C_Min | Captured "empty" reference value | 4000 |
| C_Max | Captured "full" reference value | 200000 |
Calibration Table
Volume measurement can be obtained in two ways:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Calibration table on the Platform (Server) | The sensor sends raw level values (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 the calibration table on the platform.
Configurable Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default / Range |
|---|---|---|
| Device name | Sensor BLE name shown in scan list | LIGO AIR_<MAC> |
| Advertising protocol | Protocol used in advertising packet | SOJI (default) / Mielta / Escort |
| Measurement interval | Sampling rate | 5 to 10 seconds |
| Advertising message interval | How often the sensor broadcasts | LIGO AIR: 5–10s, LIGO AIR PRO: 10–15s |
| Output mode | Raw value or liters | 0–1023 / 0–4095 (default) / Liter 0–65535 |
| Password | Access password | Must change default password to prevent unauthorized access |
