TKLS: SPECIFICATIONS
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The TKLS fuel level sensor is an electronic gauge of a capacitance type intended to measure fuel level in a vehicle tank (or other volume), convert the readings into a digital form or a frequency signal and transmit them to an external device. Data in a digital form is transferred via RS-485 bus in a user-defined protocol.
In addition, the sensor allows measuring and transmission of a set of parameters such as an ambient temperature, an angle of fuel tank inclination in relation to a horizontal plane, diagnostics codes and etc.
The built-in Bluetooth Low Energy module makes possible wireless configuration and diagnostics of TKLS fuel level sensor using a mobile device running iOS or Android.
