= <big>'''General information'''</big> =
When working with the '''Sokol-M1 station''', data can be retrieved not only '''via GSM or a direct USB''' connection, but also by polling using '''third-party software and various RS-485 converters.'''

Below are '''instructions''' for '''configuring, connecting, and polling the station''' using an '''RS-485''' interface converter, as well as for polling '''via Modbus.'''

= '''Configuring the station for Modbus operation''' =
To connect the '''meteo station''' for '''Modbus''' polling via a computer or '''third-party hardware/software''' using an '''RS-485 converter''', you must configure '''the station itself.'''

Install the '''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/meteo-kontrol/sokol-m/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9A%D0%9E%D0%9B-%D0%9C.zip Sokol CFG]''' configurator, as well as the '''system component and library files from Microsoft''' if necessary. '''The drivers''' can be found in '''the folder containing the Sokol CFG configurator''' or downloaded from [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/other/Component_registration.zip?v=270519154504 '''this link'''.] When these files are installed, a message should appear stating, '''“RuntimePack installed!”'''

You must also install '''the drivers''' to properly connect the station '''via USB''' and configure it.

'''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/Driver_for_Escort_C-200.zip?v=200320144623 Link to download drivers for the Sokol-M1 station]'''

When you connect the '''USB cable''' from the station to '''the computer,''' the device should be recognized as '''"STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port":'''
[[File:Device manager window.png|center|frameless|608x608px]]
<blockquote>'''''If the port is detected but marked with an exclamation point, either the device is out of power and there isn’t enough power for the COM port to function, or you need to switch USB ports and reconnect it several times. Do not connect the device via a USB hub.'''''</blockquote>Launch the Sokol Meteo Configurator, select the appropriate COM port, and click '''“Open Port.”''' Enter the password by clicking the '''“Enter Password”''' button. The default password is '''222.'''
[[File:Sokol-CFG+Sokol-M1 password.png|center|frameless|662x662px]]

Next, select '''“Transmission Channel”''' as '''MB Only or GSM.'''

'''Important! In firmware version 1.3.5 and later, you must check the “Do not sleep” box.'''

Then click the '''“Set”''' button.
[[File:Sokol-CFG+ Sokol-M1 settings 2.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]

By default, the station is set to '''"1 network address."''' You can '''change or check this setting''' in the configurator under the '''"Server"''' tab.

To ensure the station operates correctly '''via Modbus''', verify the following connection points:

* Station power supply. Be sure to turn the switch as follows: from the '''OFF position to ON''', then back to '''OFF''', and then to '''ON again'''. '''An external power supply''' must also be connected to the station

== '''Pinout and Connection of RS-485 Converters (C200M2)''' ==
To ensure the station operates correctly via the '''C200M2 or Bolid RS-485 converter''', you must verify that the '''wires are connected correctly''' and that the '''pinout is correct'''. You must also install the '''correct drivers''' so that the converters are recognized by the computer system.

[[File:Image2.png|thumb|'''<big>Current design: central unit, measurement unit</big>''']]
The load monitoring system '''eCargosens''' (hereinafter - '''“System”''') for vehicles with air suspension is designed to monitor the load of every axis of the vehicle’s chassis based on the measurement of the air pressure in the air suspension’s system.

The '''eCargosens''' system consists of one eCargosens '''DS central unit''' (hereinafter - “'''central unit'''”) and several measurement units or '''eCargosens Air''' sensors (hereinafter - '''“Sensor”''' or '''“Sensors”'''). The number of Sensors installed on the vehicle depends on the '''number of axes''' the vehicle has

The Sensors measure the air pressure and - subsequently - the weight (load). The '''central unit''' perfoms the function of receiving data from '''sensors''' via the '''BLE 5.0 LR''' channel (data transfer protocol - '''Escort BLE eCargosens''') and their further transmission to a tracker device (for example, a '''GPS/GLONASS''' navigation terminal) via '''RS-485''' interface (data transfer protocol - '''LLS''').

More detailed technical specifications (central unit) are presented in [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/eCargosens-wireless-axle-load-monitoring-system/Datasheet%20Escort%20Central%20Unit%20eCargosens%20DS.pdf?v=050623133704 the device's data sheet.]

More detailed technical specifications (sensor) are presented in [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/eCargosens-wireless-axle-load-monitoring-system/Datasheet%20Escort%20Axle%20Load%20Sensor%20eCargosens%20Air.pdf?v=050623133704 the device's data sheet.]

= '''<big>Operating and data transmission principles</big>''' =
The Sensors must be connected to the air suspension system of the vehicle. They measure the air pressure in the air suspension and calculate the weight that is distributed onto a particular axis based on a calibration table that must be created and saved in their memory.
[[File:Imag1.png|center|frameless|754x754px]]

The Sensor(s) transmit their parameters to the central unit via '''Bluetooth 5.0''' in accordance with the '''Escort BLE eCargosens''' data communication protocol.

The Sensors transmit their data packages '''every 2 seconds'''.

The air pressure is measured '''every 30 seconds''' but the measurement are filtered ('''median filtration''' 5) and then processed by a '''special algorithm'''.

The central unit then retransmits the data received from the Sensor(s) to a GPS tracker/gateway via the '''RS-485''' interface in accordance with the '''LLS''' communication protocol.

'''<big>The parameters transmitted by the Sensor(s):</big>'''

- '''Weight''' or axle load in '''kg''' (provided that the '''calibration table''' is stored in a Sensor’s memory);

- Air pressure in '''Pa''';

- Battery charge in '''V''';

'''<big>The parameters retransmitted by the central unit:</big>'''

- '''Weight''' or axle load in '''kg''' (provided that the '''calibration table''' is stored in a Sensor’s memory); as received from the Sensor(s);

- Air pressure in '''Pa'''; as received from the Sensor(s);

- Battery charge in '''V'''; as received from the Sensor(s);

- '''RSSI''' as calculated by the central unit for every Sensor in particular;

==== '''<big>Note for developers</big>''' ====
The central unit retransmits the parameters as per the LLS protocol in response to the request for level and temperature (because the LLS protocol was initially designed for the transmission of fuel level sensor)

31$XX$06$CRC-8 Maxim (XX stands for the network address from 00 to FF in HEX (0…255 in DEC));

The data output is transmitted as 3E$XX$06$TT$LVLV$CRC-8 Maxim, where

XX -network address,

TT - temperature parameter (1 byte, HEX value),

LVLV - level value (2 bytes, little endian);

Thus, one network address is used to transmit one pair of parameters sent by the Sensor(s) and retransmitted by the central unit.

The Pressure readings is transmitted after it is divided by 100. F.e. the Pressure reading is 700345 Pa but the value transmitted via the RS-485 interface will be 7003.

'''ATTENTION!''' The tracker/gateway you plan to connect the central unit to must have the RS-485 interface, the LLS protocol and support as many network addresses as you need for the transmission of all relevant Sensor’s parameters.

= '''<big>Installation and configuration</big>''' =
'''<big>Before installing the sensor you need to:</big>'''

- Inspect the air suspension system;

- Measure the diameter of the tubes that connect the air springs of the air suspension and buy the fittings to be able to connect the Sensors’ tubes to the air suspension’s tubes;

The standard diameter of the Sensor’s tubes is ⌀ '''10mm'''.

The Sensor’s connecting to the air spring is shown on the figures below:
[[File:123.png|center|frameless|631x631px]]
[[File:Imagesad.png|center|frameless|674x674px]]

[[File:Imagege.png|center|frameless|726x726px]]
[[File:Imagedasd2.png|center|frameless|764x764px]]
Before installing the sensor be sure to write down their serial numbers and MAC addresses and what axis every Sensors is to be installed at:
[[File:Imagefdsfe.png|center|frameless|536x536px]]

== '''<big>Pairing Sensors with central unit</big>''' ==
Once the sensors are installed, you need to pair them with the '''central unit''' and configure them.

To connect the central unit and configure it via the app, connect its '''red (PWR)''' and '''black (GND)''' wires to a power supply.

Run the '''app''' (available in '''AppStore''' and '''Play Market'''), ensure that the '''geolocation''' service of your smartphone is On and the app has the '''permission to access''' it. Enable the '''Bluetooth'''.

'''<big>Android eCargosens:</big>''' [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weightcontrol.config&hl=en download here.]

[[File:Imagevvfd.png|center|frameless|648x648px]]

Then select the language should it be necessary and press Start. Then tap on the central unit you need.
[[File:Imageczxc.png|center|frameless|659x659px]]

Scroll down and tap '''Sensor settings'''. Enter the integrator’s password '''(666666 by default)'''
[[File:Imagebdftr.png|center|frameless|641x641px]]

Tap on the '''+''' button. Enter the user password '''(000000 by default)'''. Then enter the '''MAC''' of the sensor.
[[File:Imagedasdc.png|center|frameless|630x630px]]

Then enter the '''MAC''' of the sensor. You can add as many sensors as you need (up to '''10''' sensors to one central unit) .
[[File:Image21папв.png|center|frameless|622x622px]]

To disconnect the sensor, press and hold it until the '''Disconnect''' button appears then '''press it''' and delete the sensor.
[[File:Imageпап3.png|center|frameless]]

== '''<big>Sensor calibration</big>''' ==
'''To calibrate''' the Sensor, you need '''to weigh the axis''' it is installed at when the vehicle’s semi trailer or trailer is '''empty''' and when it is '''loaded''' at around '''30-40%''' of '''max load'''. The load must be placed in a '''fashion''' that would ensure that the weight is distributed between the axes '''more or less equally'''.

You will need '''vehicle scales'''. Put them on an '''even''' surface. Make sure that once the axis is placed on the scales it remains on the '''same level''' as the '''other axes'''.

Then write down the Pressure value and the weight value. You need '''two pairs of Pressure''' - Weight values to '''save''' them in every Sensor’s memory.
[[File:Imageваппк.png|center|frameless|647x647px]]

After that, open the app, connect the central unit, open '''Sensor settings''' menu and select the sensor you need to calibrate.

When you connect the Sensor for the '''1st time''', you will be required to '''set up a password'''. From there on every time you connect the sensor the app will require you to enter the previously set password.
[[File:Image6535g.png|center|frameless|631x631px]]

Once the sensor’s menu is open, you can see its current readings. Tap on the '''Calibrate''' button to open the '''calibration menu'''.
[[File:Imagedsaf31.png|center|frameless|646x646px]]

Next, press the '''+''' button. Then enter the Pressure reading (from the screen with the Sensor’s data) and Weight reading (from the scales) and tap '''Enter'''.

To edit the table, '''press and hold''' one of its lines then either add one more line, change the selected one or delete it.

After the table is finished tap on the '''Save button'''. Repeat the procedure of weighing and setting the table for every sensor.

You can add more than '''2 lines''' should you have the possibility to weigh every axis while the load in the semi trailer is different but '''2 lines''' will do in most cases. The max number of lines - '''20'''.
[[File:Imagegt42g.png|center|frameless|643x643px]]

== '''<big>RS-485 settings</big>''' ==
To enable the transmission of the data the central unit receives from the Sensors paired with it via Bluetooth to a GPS tracker/gateway by means of the '''RS-485''' interface, connect the central unit and open the '''RS-485''' settings menu. Select one of the paired Sensors there.
[[File:Imagevzxccw.png|center|frameless|648x648px]]

Then select the pair of parameters you need transmitted and enable it. After that select the network address that will be used for the transmission of that pair from the central unit to the GPS tracker/gateway.
[[File:Imagegvdfg43.png|center|frameless|633x633px]]

'''<big>ATTENTION! Ensure that every pair of parameters in every Sensor’s menu is assigned a unique network address. If you have several other wired sensors connected to the same GPS tracker/gateway via the RS-485 interface, remember that they also already occupy one or several network addresses so you need to avoid assigning the central unit any of those network address.</big>'''

For example, if there’s a wired FLS that had been assigned the network '''address 1''', the address 1 '''cannot be''' assigned to the '''central unit'''.

Note that the app could be reading “'''All network addresses are free'''” but the app cannot check if there any other wired sensors connected to your tracker/gateway. It only checks what network addresses had been assigned to every paired Sensor in the central unit’s configuration.

== '''<big>Data view</big>''' ==
You, your customer or the truck’s driver can access the '''current readings''' transmitted by the Sensors '''via the app'''.

Connect the '''central unit'''.
[[File:Imagegrgt4353.png|center|frameless|656x656px]]

Then tap '''View data'''. On the next screen the app will show the readings of all Sensors paired with the central unit.
[[File:Imagevver5.png|center|frameless|659x659px]]

'''ATTENTION! When selecting the spot at which to install the central unit, be sure to check if the average RSSI of every sensor as measured within 2-3 minutes is within the -35 dBm to -100 dBm range. If it is not, try moving the central unit closer to the sensors to minimize the risks of connection losses in future!'''

== '''<big>How many sensors are required?</big>''' ==
The general recommendation is to install '''as many as sensors as many axes the vehicle has'''. In other words: '''1 axis = 1 sensor'''.

It is possible that in some cases, '''one sensor''' could be used to monitor the load on several axes provided that the air springs that support those axes are united into '''one suspension circuit'''.

'''<big>The following are a few examples of possible installation of several sensors:</big>'''
[[File:Imagedsd13.png|center|frameless|594x594px]]
A and B are possible slots where the '''2 sensors''' would have to be installed to monitor the load of '''every axis'''.

[[File:Imageg546345.png|center|frameless|640x640px]]
In this case it is possible that '''only one sensor''' could be installed either at point '''A or B'''.

However, you would need to be collecting the pressure readings of the sensor and have '''2 virtual sensors''' on your '''monitoring platform''' (the '''calibration tables''' would have to be saved and applied in those virtual sensors).

[[File:Imageп243м2.png|center|frameless|610x610px]]
In this case it is possible that only '''one sensor''' could be installed either at point '''A''' or '''B'''.

However, you would need to be collecting the pressure readings of the sensor and have '''2 virtual sensors''' on your '''monitoring platform''' (the '''calibration tables''' would have to be saved and applied in those virtual sensors).

[[File:Image1241а13.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]
In this case either '''6 or 3 sensors''' could be installed ('''1''' or '''2''' per axis) to monitor the axle load.

It is still possible that the load distributed between the two out of three axes could be '''more or less equal''' and therefore '''1 or 2 sensors''' could be enough.

However, if '''one of the axes is a liftable one''', installing one sensor on it is '''obligatory'''.

== '''<big>Configuration of virtual sensor for steering (spring) axle</big>''' ==
To calculate a '''total weight of a semi-trailer truck''' it’s necessary to weigh both the '''steering and the rear axis of a truck''' ('''dump truck''') without a '''semi-trailer''' (if '''dump truck''', without a '''cargo'''). If there are several front and\or rear axles, it’s necessary to '''weigh each'''.

Next, in the Sensor configuration menu, press '''+''' the button and select the '''Add the head axle''' option.
[[File:Imagewewqe21.png|center|frameless|612x612px]]

After that a virtual sensor for a steering axle will be created and it will have a '''MAC FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1'''
[[File:Image42341.png|center|frameless|530x530px]]
In the settings fill the '''Number of rear axle №1''' with a sensor’s number, that is installed on a '''rear axle'''. A sensor’s number is determined by its position from '''1st to 10th''' in the list.

'''Enter''' the weight of a '''rear axle''' without a semi-trailer in '''Load of rear axle №'''

In case there are '''several rear axles''', '''add another one''' by pressing the button then enter the number of a sensor installed on it and also its weight '''without a semi-trailer'''. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, press the '''+ button'''.
[[File:Image231d1.png|center|frameless|632x632px]]

Then enter the following aspects:

1) a '''weight of a truck''' (calculated by adding up the weight of all its axles without a semi-trailer) or the weight of a dump truck

2) a '''distance''' between the front axle center and the rear axle center

3) a '''distance''' between the front axle center and a trailing arm (or a gravity center of a dumper). The value '''should not be more''' than a distance between the front axle center and the rear axle center or totally equal to it.

4) a '''distance''' between the front steering axles (in case they are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter the '''minimum value of 51 cm'''.

5) select the '''2 rear axles mode''', if there are '''two steering axles'''

6) press the '''Save''' button
[[File:Imageв12в121.png|center|frameless]]

'''WARNING! The central unit computes a weight of a steering axle and a total weight of a semi-trailer truck, only if the calibration tables are saved in the sensors’ memory!!!'''

'''ATTENTION! To successfully use the "2 rear axles" mode, a second virtual steering axle with the same settings as the first must be added to the central unit. Both virtual sensors must have the "two rear axles" mode selected.'''

== '''<big>Configuring the virtual steering (spring) axle sensor when there are two sensors on the rear axle</big>''' ==
In addition, one of the latest firmware versions (1.1.6) introduced a feature for calculating the steering axis when more than one sensor is installed on the drive axles (to calculate the average reading from two sensors per axle).

'''Below are screenshots of the settings''':

After adding a virtual steering axis sensor with '''MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1''', you need to access its settings by clicking on it.
[[File:ECargosens Air sensors page 1.jpg|center|frameless]]

1) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.1"''' field, enter the serial number of '''one of the sensors installed on the truck's rear axle''' (semi-trailer axles are not required).

'''The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.'''

1.2) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.2"''' field, specify the serial number of '''the second sensor installed on the same rear axle of the truck''' (semi-trailer axles are not required). '''(Add by clicking the "+" button.)'''

'''The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.'''

2) Enter '''the rear axle weight''' (without the semi-trailer) in the '''"Rear Axle Load No."''' field.

If the truck has '''multiple rear axles''' and each is equipped with '''two sensors''', you must add '''another rear axle.'''

Use the '''"+" (plus)''' button to specify the serial number of the sensor installed on it and its weight without the semi-trailer. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, click the '''(Trash Can)''' button.
[[File:Steering axle settings 1.jpg|left|frameless]]
[[File:Steering axle settings 2.jpg|frameless]]

Next, you must specify:

1) '''the weight of the truck''' unit (the sum of the weights of all its axles, excluding the semi-trailer) or the weight of the dump truck

2) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axles

3) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the coupling device (the center of gravity of the dump body). This value '''cannot be greater''' than or equal to the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear

4) '''The distance between''' the front steering axles (if there are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter '''the minimum value of 51 cm'''

5) Select the '''"two-axle truck"''' operating mode if there '''are two''' steering axles

6) Click '''"Save"'''
[[File:Steering axle settings 3.jpg|center|frameless]]

'''<big>ATTENTION! The cab unit will calculate the weight of the steering axle and the total weight of the truck-trailer combination only if the calibration tables are stored in the sensors' memory!!!</big>'''

'''<big>ATTENTION! To successfully use the "two-axle tractor" mode, you must add a second virtual steering axle to the cab unit with the same settings as the first one. The "two-axle" mode must be selected for both virtual sensors.</big>'''

.

To '''delete''' a virtual sensor of a steering axle, hold its button until the '''Disconnect''' option appears.
[[File:Image45м45.png|center|frameless]]

To view the '''steering axle readings''' from a peripheral device (e.g a GPS tracker) via the '''RS-485 interface''', go to the '''RS-485 configuration''' section to select a '''virtual sensor of a steering axle'''. Enable the '''Weight, RSSI''' parameter and set a certain network address for it.
[[File:Image21312с1.png|center|frameless|615x615px]]

To '''connect''' a central unit to an '''I5 indicator''' in order to view the sum of all the sensors, including the virtual sensor of a steering axle, '''configure''' the i5 so it’s able to '''read or request''' the network addresses that are set for the certain sensors in the central unit. In the I5’s '''Display settings''' select the '''TD total level''' option.

= '''Connecting the cabin unit to the I-5 digital display''' =
The eCargosens cabin unit is connected to the '''digital "I-5 Display"''' for data output to the screen in accordance with our general pinout shown below ('''"Connection to the GPS Terminal"'''). Simply connect lines A and B of the display to the cabin unit, and connect the display to the power source in the same way as the cabin unit.

'''NOTE: If the pressure value is displayed on the indicator, due to technical limitations, only the first 5 digits of the pressure value will be shown in the window.'''

'''You can also display the total data from all sensors and the average data for each axis, but only one of the two at a time.'''

== <big>'''Connecting the cabin unit'''</big> ==
If you need to connect the '''cabin unit''' only to the '''I-5'''—that is, if there will be no GPS tracker or other device to which the eCargosens system will be connected—you must connect the in-cab unit to the I-5, then select '''"Active Mode"''' in the mode settings and configure the polling interval (the I-5 will send requests).

If, however, the cabin unit will be used in conjunction with the I-5 indicator and a GPS tracker/terminal, you should select '''Passive Mode.'''
[[File:+ PLUS .png|left|frame|"+"]]
To pair the cabin unit and the sensors, tap '''"Connect Sensors"''' (Fig. 13, 2). Then tap the '''"+"''' button (Fig. 14).

[[File:Imageeqwe1212.png|center|frameless|624x624px]]

Next, select the '''"Wired"''' option, enter the network address (the value can range from 1 to 255), and click '''"Connect" (Fig. 23)'''. If the I-5 is not configured to operate in active RS-485 mode, or if there is no GPS tracker/gateway or other device that could request data from the sensor so that the I-5 can listen to the sensor’s response and display its readings, the data from the sensor will be displayed as 0 (Fig. 24).

The sensor’s network address can be found and, if necessary, changed in the eCargosens mobile app

'''Important! Each sensor connected via the RS-485 interface must have a unique network address.'''

To have the I-5 send data requests to the cabin unit connected to it, open the '''Settings mode menu (Fig. 27, 4)'''. '''Passive mode''' is set by default '''(Fig. 28).'''

If your eCargosens system will operate together with the '''I-5 indicator''' and a '''GPS terminal,''' leave '''Passive mode''' selected; no changes are necessary.
[[File:Image3123dqw.png|center|frameless|611x611px]]

If the '''eCargosens''' system will operate only with '''the I-5 indicator''', without a '''GPS terminal,''' select '''Active Mode'''. Then enter an interval in seconds ranging from 1 to 65 and click '''“Set”''' '''(Fig. 29).''' Next, click '''Save''' to apply the changes '''(Fig. 30).'''
[[File:Imagedasdcxzc222.png|center|frameless|622x622px]]
After selecting the '''Active RS-485 mode''' and setting the interval, you will see the axle load sensor readings in the app.

== <big>'''RS-485 Configuration'''</big> ==
After selecting the RS-485 polling mode, set the addresses for the sensors in the control unit and the I-5 display

To do this, connect to the '''eCargosens cabin unit''' and go to the '''RS-485 settings.'''
[[File:ECargosens main page app 1.jpg|center|frameless]]

Next, click on the connected axle load sensor and select the addresses for transmitting the sensor data.
[[File:ECargosens settings page app 1.jpg|left|frameless]]
[[File:ECargosens settings page app 2.jpg|frameless]]

'''Example:'''
[[File:ECargosens settings page app 3.jpg|center|frameless]]

Next, connect '''the I-5 digital display''' to the '''eCargosens cabin unit''' via '''RS-485''', and configure the '''RS-485 settings''' to send data to the '''same addresses''' you selected in the '''cabin unit''' for the '''axle load sensor parameters.'''
[[File:I-5 indicator main page settings 1.jpg|left|frameless]]
[[File:I-5 indicator main page settings 2.jpg|frameless]]

'''Example:'''
[[File:I-5 indicator main page settings 3.jpg|center|frameless]]
<blockquote>'''Important! The addresses in the eCargosens cabin unit and the I-5 digital display must match for the data to be displayed correctly:'''</blockquote>
[[File:ECargosens + i-5 addresses setting example.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]

== <big>'''Calibration of trailer axles when only one sensor is installed'''</big> ==
In situations where only one sensor is installed on the semi-trailer but you need to display the weight of each axle separately on the I5 indicator screen or monitoring platform, you can use this method.
[[File:ECargosens settings page app 4.png|center|frameless|618x618px]]

In the app's main menu, go to the RS485 Settings section and select the sensor installed on the semi-trailer. In this menu, you can configure RS485 data transmission to the required addresses. Select the options as shown in the image: '''"Weight, RSSI," "Pressure, RSSI," "Pressure, Battery Voltage(Vbat)"'''

Thus, the I5 display can provide information on the pressure and weight of the semi-trailer’s axles. The weight can be displayed on one of the I5 screens without recalculation, but to obtain the weights of the other axles, a calibration (weighing) table must be added in the corresponding menu of the display. When weighing the axles of a semi-trailer, the scales may show different masses on the axles even with the same load in the semi-trailer; therefore, the weighing tables for different axles may vary.

<blockquote>It is important to remember that pressure values transmitted via RS-485 are reduced by a factor of 100. For example, 65,000 Pa will be transmitted as 650; '''therefore, when creating the calibration table in the I5 indicator, the pressure value must be divided by 100 before entering it into the table.'''</blockquote>

You can upload the table itself to the '''I-5 display.'''

To do this, you need to:

1) Select the sensor in the '''I-5 display''' on the connection page and click on it; this will open the sensor settings menu:
[[File:I-5 sensor settings 1.jpg|center|frameless]]

2) Then click the red '''"Go to Calibration"''' button
[[File:I-5 sensor settings 2.jpg|center|frameless]]
<blockquote>Please note that you can import the table using an existing calibration file or enter the data manually.</blockquote>

3) If you select '''"Select a file"''' the file explorer on your smartphone will open. Navigate to the folder where you saved the calibration file and select the desired file.
[[File:File directory example 1.png|center|frameless|539x539px]]

4) Then select the '''"Apply calibration table"''' checkbox.

[[File:Image2.png|thumb|'''<big>Current design: central unit, measurement unit</big>''']]
The load monitoring system '''eCargosens''' (hereinafter - '''“System”''') for vehicles with air suspension is designed to monitor the load of every axis of the vehicle’s chassis based on the measurement of the air pressure in the air suspension’s system.

The '''eCargosens''' system consists of one eCargosens '''DS central unit''' (hereinafter - “'''central unit'''”) and several measurement units or '''eCargosens Air''' sensors (hereinafter - '''“Sensor”''' or '''“Sensors”'''). The number of Sensors installed on the vehicle depends on the '''number of axes''' the vehicle has

The Sensors measure the air pressure and - subsequently - the weight (load). The '''central unit''' perfoms the function of receiving data from '''sensors''' via the '''BLE 5.0 LR''' channel (data transfer protocol - '''Escort BLE eCargosens''') and their further transmission to a tracker device (for example, a '''GPS/GLONASS''' navigation terminal) via '''RS-485''' interface (data transfer protocol - '''LLS''').

More detailed technical specifications (central unit) are presented in [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/eCargosens-wireless-axle-load-monitoring-system/Datasheet%20Escort%20Central%20Unit%20eCargosens%20DS.pdf?v=050623133704 the device's data sheet.]

More detailed technical specifications (sensor) are presented in [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/eCargosens-wireless-axle-load-monitoring-system/Datasheet%20Escort%20Axle%20Load%20Sensor%20eCargosens%20Air.pdf?v=050623133704 the device's data sheet.]

= '''<big>Operating and data transmission principles</big>''' =
The Sensors must be connected to the air suspension system of the vehicle. They measure the air pressure in the air suspension and calculate the weight that is distributed onto a particular axis based on a calibration table that must be created and saved in their memory.
[[File:Imag1.png|center|frameless|754x754px]]

The Sensor(s) transmit their parameters to the central unit via '''Bluetooth 5.0''' in accordance with the '''Escort BLE eCargosens''' data communication protocol.

The Sensors transmit their data packages '''every 2 seconds'''.

The air pressure is measured '''every 30 seconds''' but the measurement are filtered ('''median filtration''' 5) and then processed by a '''special algorithm'''.

The central unit then retransmits the data received from the Sensor(s) to a GPS tracker/gateway via the '''RS-485''' interface in accordance with the '''LLS''' communication protocol.

'''<big>The parameters transmitted by the Sensor(s):</big>'''

- '''Weight''' or axle load in '''kg''' (provided that the '''calibration table''' is stored in a Sensor’s memory);

- Air pressure in '''Pa''';

- Battery charge in '''V''';

'''<big>The parameters retransmitted by the central unit:</big>'''

- '''Weight''' or axle load in '''kg''' (provided that the '''calibration table''' is stored in a Sensor’s memory); as received from the Sensor(s);

- Air pressure in '''Pa'''; as received from the Sensor(s);

- Battery charge in '''V'''; as received from the Sensor(s);

- '''RSSI''' as calculated by the central unit for every Sensor in particular;

==== '''<big>Note for developers</big>''' ====
The central unit retransmits the parameters as per the LLS protocol in response to the request for level and temperature (because the LLS protocol was initially designed for the transmission of fuel level sensor)

31$XX$06$CRC-8 Maxim (XX stands for the network address from 00 to FF in HEX (0…255 in DEC));

The data output is transmitted as 3E$XX$06$TT$LVLV$CRC-8 Maxim, where

XX -network address,

TT - temperature parameter (1 byte, HEX value),

LVLV - level value (2 bytes, little endian);

Thus, one network address is used to transmit one pair of parameters sent by the Sensor(s) and retransmitted by the central unit.

The Pressure readings is transmitted after it is divided by 100. F.e. the Pressure reading is 700345 Pa but the value transmitted via the RS-485 interface will be 7003.

'''ATTENTION!''' The tracker/gateway you plan to connect the central unit to must have the RS-485 interface, the LLS protocol and support as many network addresses as you need for the transmission of all relevant Sensor’s parameters.

= '''<big>Installation and configuration</big>''' =
'''<big>Before installing the sensor you need to:</big>'''

- Inspect the air suspension system;

- Measure the diameter of the tubes that connect the air springs of the air suspension and buy the fittings to be able to connect the Sensors’ tubes to the air suspension’s tubes;

The standard diameter of the Sensor’s tubes is ⌀ '''10mm'''.

The Sensor’s connecting to the air spring is shown on the figures below:
[[File:123.png|center|frameless|631x631px]]

[[File:Imagege.png|center|frameless|726x726px]]
[[File:Imagedasd2.png|center|frameless|764x764px]]
Before installing the sensor be sure to write down their serial numbers and MAC addresses and what axis every Sensors is to be installed at:
[[File:Imagefdsfe.png|center|frameless|536x536px]]

== '''<big>Pairing Sensors with central unit</big>''' ==
Once the sensors are installed, you need to pair them with the '''central unit''' and configure them.

To connect the central unit and configure it via the app, connect its '''red (PWR)''' and '''black (GND)''' wires to a power supply.

Run the '''app''' (available in '''AppStore''' and '''Play Market'''), ensure that the '''geolocation''' service of your smartphone is On and the app has the '''permission to access''' it. Enable the '''Bluetooth'''.

'''<big>Android eCargosens:</big>''' [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weightcontrol.config&hl=en download here.]

'''<big>IOS eCargosens:</big>''' [https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/ecargosens/id1578223350?l=en-GB download here.]

[[File:Imagevvfd.png|center|frameless|648x648px]]

Then select the language should it be necessary and press Start. Then tap on the central unit you need.
[[File:Imageczxc.png|center|frameless|659x659px]]

Scroll down and tap '''Sensor settings'''. Enter the integrator’s password '''(666666 by default)'''
[[File:Imagebdftr.png|center|frameless|641x641px]]

Tap on the '''+''' button. Enter the user password '''(000000 by default)'''. Then enter the '''MAC''' of the sensor.
[[File:Imagedasdc.png|center|frameless|630x630px]]

Then enter the '''MAC''' of the sensor. You can add as many sensors as you need (up to '''10''' sensors to one central unit) .
[[File:Image21папв.png|center|frameless|622x622px]]

To disconnect the sensor, press and hold it until the '''Disconnect''' button appears then '''press it''' and delete the sensor.
[[File:Imageпап3.png|center|frameless]]

== '''<big>Sensor calibration</big>''' ==
'''To calibrate''' the Sensor, you need '''to weigh the axis''' it is installed at when the vehicle’s semi trailer or trailer is '''empty''' and when it is '''loaded''' at around '''30-40%''' of '''max load'''. The load must be placed in a '''fashion''' that would ensure that the weight is distributed between the axes '''more or less equally'''.

You will need '''vehicle scales'''. Put them on an '''even''' surface. Make sure that once the axis is placed on the scales it remains on the '''same level''' as the '''other axes'''.

Then write down the Pressure value and the weight value. You need '''two pairs of Pressure''' - Weight values to '''save''' them in every Sensor’s memory.
[[File:Imageваппк.png|center|frameless|647x647px]]

After that, open the app, connect the central unit, open '''Sensor settings''' menu and select the sensor you need to calibrate.

When you connect the Sensor for the '''1st time''', you will be required to '''set up a password'''. From there on every time you connect the sensor the app will require you to enter the previously set password.
[[File:Image6535g.png|center|frameless|631x631px]]

Once the sensor’s menu is open, you can see its current readings. Tap on the '''Calibrate''' button to open the '''calibration menu'''.
[[File:Imagedsaf31.png|center|frameless|646x646px]]

Next, press the '''+''' button. Then enter the Pressure reading (from the screen with the Sensor’s data) and Weight reading (from the scales) and tap '''Enter'''.

To edit the table, '''press and hold''' one of its lines then either add one more line, change the selected one or delete it.

After the table is finished tap on the '''Save button'''. Repeat the procedure of weighing and setting the table for every sensor.

You can add more than '''2 lines''' should you have the possibility to weigh every axis while the load in the semi trailer is different but '''2 lines''' will do in most cases. The max number of lines - '''20'''.
[[File:Imagegt42g.png|center|frameless|643x643px]]

== '''<big>RS-485 settings</big>''' ==
To enable the transmission of the data the central unit receives from the Sensors paired with it via Bluetooth to a GPS tracker/gateway by means of the '''RS-485''' interface, connect the central unit and open the '''RS-485''' settings menu. Select one of the paired Sensors there.
[[File:Imagevzxccw.png|center|frameless|648x648px]]

Then select the pair of parameters you need transmitted and enable it. After that select the network address that will be used for the transmission of that pair from the central unit to the GPS tracker/gateway.
[[File:Imagegvdfg43.png|center|frameless|633x633px]]

'''<big>ATTENTION! Ensure that every pair of parameters in every Sensor’s menu is assigned a unique network address. If you have several other wired sensors connected to the same GPS tracker/gateway via the RS-485 interface, remember that they also already occupy one or several network addresses so you need to avoid assigning the central unit any of those network address.</big>'''

For example, if there’s a wired FLS that had been assigned the network '''address 1''', the address 1 '''cannot be''' assigned to the '''central unit'''.

Note that the app could be reading “'''All network addresses are free'''” but the app cannot check if there any other wired sensors connected to your tracker/gateway. It only checks what network addresses had been assigned to every paired Sensor in the central unit’s configuration.

== '''<big>Data view</big>''' ==
You, your customer or the truck’s driver can access the '''current readings''' transmitted by the Sensors '''via the app'''.

Connect the '''central unit'''.
[[File:Imagegrgt4353.png|center|frameless|656x656px]]

Then tap '''View data'''. On the next screen the app will show the readings of all Sensors paired with the central unit.
[[File:Imagevver5.png|center|frameless|659x659px]]

'''ATTENTION! When selecting the spot at which to install the central unit, be sure to check if the average RSSI of every sensor as measured within 2-3 minutes is within the -35 dBm to -100 dBm range. If it is not, try moving the central unit closer to the sensors to minimize the risks of connection losses in future!'''

== '''<big>How many sensors are required?</big>''' ==
The general recommendation is to install '''as many as sensors as many axes the vehicle has'''. In other words: '''1 axis = 1 sensor'''.

It is possible that in some cases, '''one sensor''' could be used to monitor the load on several axes provided that the air springs that support those axes are united into '''one suspension circuit'''.

'''<big>The following are a few examples of possible installation of several sensors:</big>'''
[[File:Imagedsd13.png|center|frameless|594x594px]]
A and B are possible slots where the '''2 sensors''' would have to be installed to monitor the load of '''every axis'''.

[[File:Imageg546345.png|center|frameless|640x640px]]
In this case it is possible that '''only one sensor''' could be installed either at point '''A or B'''.

However, you would need to be collecting the pressure readings of the sensor and have '''2 virtual sensors''' on your '''monitoring platform''' (the '''calibration tables''' would have to be saved and applied in those virtual sensors).

[[File:Imageп243м2.png|center|frameless|610x610px]]
In this case it is possible that only '''one sensor''' could be installed either at point '''A''' or '''B'''.

However, you would need to be collecting the pressure readings of the sensor and have '''2 virtual sensors''' on your '''monitoring platform''' (the '''calibration tables''' would have to be saved and applied in those virtual sensors).

[[File:Image1241а13.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]
In this case either '''6 or 3 sensors''' could be installed ('''1''' or '''2''' per axis) to monitor the axle load.

It is still possible that the load distributed between the two out of three axes could be '''more or less equal''' and therefore '''1 or 2 sensors''' could be enough.

However, if '''one of the axes is a liftable one''', installing one sensor on it is '''obligatory'''.

== '''<big>Configuration of virtual sensor for steering (spring) axle</big>''' ==
To calculate a '''total weight of a semi-trailer truck''' it’s necessary to weigh both the '''steering and the rear axis of a truck''' ('''dump truck''') without a '''semi-trailer''' (if '''dump truck''', without a '''cargo'''). If there are several front and\or rear axles, it’s necessary to '''weigh each'''.

Next, in the Sensor configuration menu, press '''+''' the button and select the '''Add the head axle''' option.
[[File:Imagewewqe21.png|center|frameless|612x612px]]

After that a virtual sensor for a steering axle will be created and it will have a '''MAC FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1'''
[[File:Image42341.png|center|frameless|530x530px]]
In the settings fill the '''Number of rear axle №1''' with a sensor’s number, that is installed on a '''rear axle'''. A sensor’s number is determined by its position from '''1st to 10th''' in the list.

'''Enter''' the weight of a '''rear axle''' without a semi-trailer in '''Load of rear axle №'''

In case there are '''several rear axles''', '''add another one''' by pressing the button then enter the number of a sensor installed on it and also its weight '''without a semi-trailer'''. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, press the '''+ button'''.
[[File:Image231d1.png|center|frameless|632x632px]]

Then enter the following aspects:

1) a '''weight of a truck''' (calculated by adding up the weight of all its axles without a semi-trailer) or the weight of a dump truck

2) a '''distance''' between the front axle center and the rear axle center

3) a '''distance''' between the front axle center and a trailing arm (or a gravity center of a dumper). The value '''should not be more''' than a distance between the front axle center and the rear axle center or totally equal to it.

4) a '''distance''' between the front steering axles (in case they are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter the '''minimum value of 51 cm'''.

5) select the '''2 rear axles mode''', if there are '''two steering axles'''

6) press the '''Save''' button
[[File:Imageв12в121.png|center|frameless]]

'''WARNING! The central unit computes a weight of a steering axle and a total weight of a semi-trailer truck, only if the calibration tables are saved in the sensors’ memory!!!'''

'''ATTENTION! To successfully use the "2 rear axles" mode, a second virtual steering axle with the same settings as the first must be added to the central unit. Both virtual sensors must have the "two rear axles" mode selected.'''

== '''<big>Configuring the virtual steering (spring) axle sensor when there are two sensors on the rear axle</big>''' ==
In addition, one of the latest firmware versions (1.1.6) introduced a feature for calculating the steering axis when more than one sensor is installed on the drive axles (to calculate the average reading from two sensors per axle).

'''Below are screenshots of the settings''':

After adding a virtual steering axis sensor with '''MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1''', you need to access its settings by clicking on it.
[[File:ECargosens Air sensors page 1.jpg|center|frameless]]

1) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.1"''' field, enter the serial number of '''one of the sensors installed on the truck's rear axle''' (semi-trailer axles are not required).

'''The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.'''

1.2) In the settings, in the '''"Rear Sensor No. 1.2"''' field, specify the serial number of '''the second sensor installed on the same rear axle of the truck''' (semi-trailer axles are not required). '''(Add by clicking the "+" button.)'''

'''The sensor's serial number is determined by its position in the list, numbered from 1 to 10 from top to bottom.'''

2) Enter '''the rear axle weight''' (without the semi-trailer) in the '''"Rear Axle Load No."''' field.

If the truck has '''multiple rear axles''' and each is equipped with '''two sensors''', you must add '''another rear axle.'''

Use the '''"+" (plus)''' button to specify the serial number of the sensor installed on it and its weight without the semi-trailer. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, click the '''(Trash Can)''' button.
[[File:Steering axle settings 1.jpg|left|frameless]]
[[File:Steering axle settings 2.jpg|frameless]]

Next, you must specify:

1) '''the weight of the truck''' unit (the sum of the weights of all its axles, excluding the semi-trailer) or the weight of the dump truck

2) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axles

3) '''the distance''' from the center of the front axle to the coupling device (the center of gravity of the dump body). This value '''cannot be greater''' than or equal to the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear

4) '''The distance between''' the front steering axles (if there are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter '''the minimum value of 51 cm'''

5) Select the '''"two-axle truck"''' operating mode if there '''are two''' steering axles

6) Click '''"Save"'''
[[File:Steering axle settings 3.jpg|center|frameless]]

'''<big>ATTENTION! The cab unit will calculate the weight of the steering axle and the total weight of the truck-trailer combination only if the calibration tables are stored in the sensors' memory!!!</big>'''

'''<big>ATTENTION! To successfully use the "two-axle tractor" mode, you must add a second virtual steering axle to the cab unit with the same settings as the first one. The "two-axle" mode must be selected for both virtual sensors.</big>'''

.

To '''delete''' a virtual sensor of a steering axle, hold its button until the '''Disconnect''' option appears.

To view the '''steering axle readings''' from a peripheral device (e.g a GPS tracker) via the '''RS-485 interface''', go to the '''RS-485 configuration''' section to select a '''virtual sensor of a steering axle'''. Enable the '''Weight, RSSI''' parameter and set a certain network address for it.
[[File:Image21312с1.png|center|frameless|615x615px]]

To '''connect''' a central unit to an '''I5 indicator''' in order to view the sum of all the sensors, including the virtual sensor of a steering axle, '''configure''' the i5 so it’s able to '''read or request''' the network addresses that are set for the certain sensors in the central unit. In the I5’s '''Display settings''' select the '''TD total level''' option.

= '''Connecting the cabin unit to the I-5 digital display''' =
The eCargosens cabin unit is connected to the '''digital "I-5 Display"''' for data output to the screen in accordance with our general pinout shown below ('''"Connection to the GPS Terminal"'''). Simply connect lines A and B of the display to the cabin unit, and connect the display to the power source in the same way as the cabin unit.

'''NOTE: If the pressure value is displayed on the indicator, due to technical limitations, only the first 5 digits of the pressure value will be shown in the window.'''

'''You can also display the total data from all sensors and the average data for each axis, but only one of the two at a time.'''

== <big>'''Connecting the cabin unit'''</big> ==
If you need to connect the '''cabin unit''' only to the '''I-5'''—that is, if there will be no GPS tracker or other device to which the eCargosens system will be connected—you must connect the in-cab unit to the I-5, then select '''"Active Mode"''' in the mode settings and configure the polling interval (the I-5 will send requests).

If, however, the cabin unit will be used in conjunction with the I-5 indicator and a GPS tracker/terminal, you should select '''Passive Mode.'''

To pair the cabin unit and the sensors, tap '''"Connect Sensors"''' (Fig. 13, 2). Then tap the '''"+"''' button (Fig. 14).

= <big>'''General information'''</big> =
When working with the '''Sokol-M1 station''', data can be retrieved not only '''via GSM or a direct USB''' connection, but also by polling using '''third-party software and various RS-485 converters.'''

Below are '''instructions''' for '''configuring, connecting, and polling the station''' using an '''RS-485''' interface converter, as well as for polling '''via Modbus.'''

= '''Configuring the station for Modbus operation''' =
To connect the '''meteo station''' for '''Modbus''' polling via a computer or '''third-party hardware/software''' using an '''RS-485 converter''', you must configure '''the station itself.'''

Install the '''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/meteo-kontrol/sokol-m/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9A%D0%9E%D0%9B-%D0%9C.zip Sokol CFG]''' configurator, as well as the '''system component and library files from Microsoft''' if necessary. '''The drivers''' can be found in '''the folder containing the Sokol CFG configurator''' or downloaded from [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/other/Component_registration.zip?v=270519154504 '''this link'''.] When these files are installed, a message should appear stating, '''“RuntimePack installed!”'''

You must also install '''the drivers''' to properly connect the station '''via USB''' and configure it.

'''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/Driver_for_Escort_C-200.zip?v=200320144623 Link to download drivers for the Sokol-M1 station]'''

When you connect the '''USB cable''' from the station to '''the computer,''' the device should be recognized as '''"STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port":'''
[[File:Device manager window.png|center|frameless|608x608px]]
<blockquote>'''''If the port is detected but marked with an exclamation point, either the device is out of power and there isn’t enough power for the COM port to function, or you need to switch USB ports and reconnect it several times. Do not connect the device via a USB hub.'''''</blockquote>Launch the Sokol Meteo Configurator, select the appropriate COM port, and click '''“Open Port.”''' Enter the password by clicking the '''“Enter Password”''' button. The default password is '''222.'''
[[File:Sokol-CFG+Sokol-M1 password.png|center|frameless|662x662px]]

Next, select '''“Transmission Channel”''' as '''MB Only or GSM.'''

'''Important! In firmware version 1.3.5 and later, you must check the “Do not sleep” box.'''

Then click the '''“Set”''' button.
[[File:Sokol-CFG+ Sokol-M1 settings 2.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]

By default, the station is set to '''"1 network address."''' You can '''change or check this setting''' in the configurator under the '''"Server"''' tab.

== <big>'''Dashboard'''</big> ==
'''The “Dashboard” section''' is the main section for visualizing data coming from devices, and also allows you to create your '''own widgets/reports.'''

The section has '''two''' main groups:

'''Meteo Monitoring''' - a section designed for adding or selecting '''devices/widgets''' that monitor meteo parameters '''(temperature, humidity, pressure)''' such as '''[https://sokolmeteo.ru/weather-station/ Sokol-M1]''' and '''[https://sokolmeteo.ru/products/kontroller-sokol-k1/ Sokol-K1.]'''

'''Eco-monitoring''' - a section designed for adding or selecting '''devices/widgets''' that monitor the concentration of '''various gases and dust particles in the air''', such as '''[https://sokolmeteo.ru/products/gazoanalizator-cokol-ga/ Sokol-GA.]'''[[File:Natlogger Desktop 1.png|center|thumb|815x815px|'''Dashboard''']]

'''The algorithm for working''' with the dashboard is as follows:

When you '''first go to the dashboard''' '''(meteo monitoring and eco-monitoring groups)''' and thereafter, if the widgets are not open, you will be prompted '''to select a device''' for viewing '''parameter templates (widgets).'''

'''On the left side''' of the screen, you will see the station search settings. Among them will be the following lines:

'''1) Devices''' - here you can configure the filtering of stations by the teams you are in. You can select a team from '''the pop-up list''' or by typing its name in the '''search bar.'''

'''2) Public''' - setting for visualizing data from devices available to all users of the platform.

'''Private''' - setting for visualizing data from devices that are only available to users of a '''specific team''' to which the device belongs.

= <big>'''Installation and preparation for operation'''</big> =

== '''<big>Preparing the operating site</big>''' ==
The product should be placed in an open area with free access to the equipment. There should be no significant obstacles '''(large buildings, groups of trees)''' within a minimum distance '''of 10 m around the site''' where the station is located.

It is not recommended to install the product near surfaces that heat up significantly, such as roofs covered with roofing felt. It is not recommended to install the station near a motorway, as the vibration caused by the movement of heavy vehicles may affect the measurement results.

Avoid sites on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction '''(especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction)''' so that the selected site does not significantly distort the wind speed and direction.

The installation site should be selected in an area that is typical of the surrounding terrain and does not differ from the surrounding area in terms of heat and moisture exchange characteristics. There should be a natural surface '''(grass, soil)''' near the location of the remote sensors.
[[File:SOKOL-M1 1.png|center|frameless|681x681px]]

For the correct operation of the precipitation, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity sensors built into the weather station, the product should be installed at a height of '''2±0.05 m''' above the ground.

It is recommended to place the external weather vane and anemometer at a height of '''10 m''' above the ground. Wind sensors can be placed on the roof of a house. In this case, they should be placed at a height of at least '''2-3 m above''' the upper edge of the roof.

When installing the '''Sokol-DR 800''' distance sensor, the expected snowfall height in the area should be taken into account, and it should be installed '''no closer than 15 cm''' to the expected snowline.

The order of installation and connection of the weather station's optional elements depends on their list and installation locations '''(mast, pole, tripod)'''. The installation of optional elements should be carried out '''from top to bottom''', starting with the highest sensor '''(device).'''

'''''Note''''' – ''The results of measurements of basic meteorological parameters at stations make it possible to interpolate measured values at any point within a homogeneous territory with a radius of '''50 to 60 km''' (for precipitation and atmospheric phenomena – within a radius of approximately '''15 to 20 km''').''
[[File:SOKOL-M1 2.png|center|frameless|705x705px]]

== '''<big>Installation at the place of operation</big>''' ==
The product should be installed on a support mast on a '''flat surface''' free from obstacles that could affect the product's readings.

'''The maximum angle''' between the point where the weather station is attached to the support and the top of any obstructing objects should be '''45°''' to the horizontal surface.

To minimize the effect of precipitation splash, '''it is recommended to avoid''' areas with hard surfaces such as metal, asphalt, or concrete. Instead, '''it is recommended''' '''to''' install the product on low grass, gravel, pebbles, or soft soil. '''Avoid sites''' on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction (especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction) so that the selected site '''does not significantly distort''' wind speed and direction. '''It is not recommended to''' install the product on building roofs, as this '''may distort''' the measurement results.

Before installing the '''SOKOL-M1''', it is necessary to prepare a mounting support for the product. Metal pipes or poles with an outer diameter of '''40 to 48 mm''' should be used as supports.

'''The product is installed in the following order:'''

[[File:SOKOL-M1 10.png|center|frameless|715x715px]]

= <big>'''Charging the battery, external power supply'''</big> =
Before starting to use the weather station, and also when the '''battery is low''', it must be '''fully charged.''' The battery installed in the weather station is charged from '''three power sources:'''

− '''sola'''r battery;<blockquote>'''The station’s internal battery is not charged by the solar panel on the station housing at temperatures below 0°C!'''</blockquote>− via a '''USB connector''' from an external power source;

− via an '''8-25 VDC''' connector on the weather station from an external power source.

'''The solar panel''' is an alternative power source that allows the weather station to operate in stand-alone mode. The '''USB and 12 V external power''' connectors are designed to efficiently charge the weather station's built-in rechargeable battery. To do this, it must be connected to a '''PC USB por'''t or a '''12 V DC''' power source.

It takes '''up to 12 hours''' to fully charge the rechargeable batteries from a '''DC power source'''. When the battery is completely discharged, the charging mode can take '''more than 20 hours.''' When charging the station via '''USB,''' charging is very slow '''(from 12 hours),''' and when the battery is '''deeply discharged,''' the charging period can take '''about a day.''' Therefore, the best way to charge is from an '''external power source.'''

The battery charge level can be checked either in the '''SokolCFG configurator''' in the '''Status tab''', in the '''Sokol mobile app''', or on the [[Natlogger]] server '''(Upow field)'''. The battery is considered '''fully charged''' when its voltage is approximately '''4.15±0.05''' V. The battery is considered discharged when its voltage is less than '''3.5 V.'''

'''Please note: if the station is connected to an external power source but the key is not turned to the ON position (i.e., the device's internal battery is not turned on), the station will not be charged.'''

'''To restart or turn off the station, do the following:'''

'''1)''' Disconnect '''external power''' sources.

'''2)''' Turn the key to the '''OFF''' position '''(if restarting is not necessary, skip step 3).'''

'''3)''' Turn the key from the '''OFF''' position to the '''ON''' position, then back to the '''OFF''' position, and then to the '''ON''' position again.

= <big>'''General information'''</big> =
When working with the '''Sokol-M1 station''', data can be retrieved not only '''via GSM or a direct USB''' connection, but also by polling using '''third-party software and various RS-485 converters.'''

Below are '''instructions''' for '''configuring, connecting, and polling the station''' using an '''RS-485''' interface converter, as well as for polling '''via Modbus.'''

= '''Configuring the station for Modbus operation''' =
To connect the '''meteo station''' for '''Modbus''' polling via a computer or '''third-party hardware/software''' using an '''RS-485 converter''', you must configure '''the station itself.'''

Install the '''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/meteo-kontrol/sokol-m/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9A%D0%9E%D0%9B-%D0%9C.zip Sokol CFG]''' configurator, as well as the '''system component and library files from Microsoft''' if necessary. '''The drivers''' can be found in '''the folder containing the Sokol CFG configurator''' or downloaded from [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/other/Component_registration.zip?v=270519154504 '''this link'''.] When these files are installed, a message should appear stating, '''“RuntimePack installed!”'''

You must also install '''the drivers''' to properly connect the station '''via USB''' and configure it.

'''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/Driver_for_Escort_C-200.zip?v=200320144623 Link to download drivers for the Sokol-M1 station]'''

When you connect the '''USB cable''' from the station to '''the computer,''' the device should be recognized as '''"STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port":'''
[[File:Device manager window.png|center|frameless|608x608px]]
<blockquote>'''''If the port is detected but marked with an exclamation point, either the device is out of power and there isn’t enough power for the COM port to function, or you need to switch USB ports and reconnect it several times. Do not connect the device via a USB hub.'''''</blockquote>Launch the Sokol Meteo Configurator, select the appropriate COM port, and click '''“Open Port.”''' Enter the password by clicking the '''“Enter Password”''' button. The default password is '''222.'''
[[File:Sokol-CFG+Sokol-M1 password.png|center|frameless|662x662px]]

Next, select '''“Transmission Channel”''' as '''MB Only or GSM.'''

'''Important! In firmware version 1.3.5 and later, you must check the “Do not sleep” box.'''

Then click the '''“Set”''' button.
[[File:Sokol-CFG+ Sokol-M1 settings 2.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]

By default, the station is set to '''"1 network address."''' You can '''change or check this setting''' in the configurator under the '''"Server"''' tab.

== '''Power supply''' ==
To ensure the station operates correctly '''via Modbus''', verify the following connection points:

* Station power supply. Be sure to turn the switch as follows: from the '''OFF position to ON''', then back to '''OFF''', and then to '''ON again'''. '''An external power supply''' must also be connected to the station

When working with the '''Sokol-M1 station''', data can be retrieved not only '''via GSM or a direct USB''' connection, but also by polling using '''third-party software and various RS-485 converters.'''

Below are '''instructions''' for '''configuring, connecting, and polling the station''' using an '''RS-485''' interface converter, as well as for polling '''via Modbus.'''

= '''Configuring the station for Modbus operation''' =
To connect the '''meteo station''' for '''Modbus''' polling via a computer or '''third-party hardware/software''' using an '''RS-485 converter''', you must configure '''the station itself.'''

Install the '''[https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/meteo-kontrol/sokol-m/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9A%D0%9E%D0%9B-%D0%9C.zip Sokol CFG]''' configurator, as well as the '''system component and library files from Microsoft''' if necessary. '''The drivers''' can be found in '''the folder containing the Sokol CFG configurator''' or downloaded from [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/other/Component_registration.zip?v=270519154504 '''this link'''.] When these files are installed, a message should appear stating, '''“RuntimePack installed!”'''

You must also install '''the drivers''' to properly connect the station '''via USB''' and configure it.

<blockquote>'''''If the port is detected but marked with an exclamation point, either the device is out of power and there isn’t enough power for the COM port to function, or you need to switch USB ports and reconnect it several times. Do not connect the device via a USB hub.'''''</blockquote>Launch the Sokol Meteo Configurator, select the appropriate COM port, and click '''“Open Port.”''' Enter the password by clicking the '''“Enter Password”''' button. The default password is '''222.'''
[[File:Sokol-CFG+Sokol-M1 password.png|center|frameless|662x662px]]

Next, select '''“Transmission Channel”''' as '''MB Only or GSM.'''

'''Important! In firmware version 1.3.5 and later, you must check the “Do not sleep” box.'''

Then click the '''“Set”''' button.
[[File:Sokol-CFG+ Sokol-M1 settings 2.png|center|frameless|669x669px]]

By default, the station is set to '''"1 network address."''' You can '''change or check this setting''' in the configurator under the '''"Server"''' tab.

= <big>'''Installation and preparation for operation'''</big> =

== '''<big>Preparing the operating site</big>''' ==
The product should be placed in an open area with free access to the equipment. There should be no significant obstacles '''(large buildings, groups of trees)''' within a minimum distance '''of 10 m around the site''' where the station is located.

It is not recommended to install the product near surfaces that heat up significantly, such as roofs covered with roofing felt. It is not recommended to install the station near a motorway, as the vibration caused by the movement of heavy vehicles may affect the measurement results.

Avoid sites on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction '''(especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction)''' so that the selected site does not significantly distort the wind speed and direction.

The installation site should be selected in an area that is typical of the surrounding terrain and does not differ from the surrounding area in terms of heat and moisture exchange characteristics. There should be a natural surface '''(grass, soil)''' near the location of the remote sensors.
[[File:SOKOL-M1 1.png|center|frameless|681x681px]]

For the correct operation of the precipitation, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity sensors built into the weather station, the product should be installed at a height of '''2±0.05 m''' above the ground.

It is recommended to place the external weather vane and anemometer at a height of '''10 m''' above the ground. Wind sensors can be placed on the roof of a house. In this case, they should be placed at a height of at least '''2-3 m above''' the upper edge of the roof.

When installing the '''Sokol-DR 800''' distance sensor, the expected snowfall height in the area should be taken into account, and it should be installed '''no closer than 15 cm''' to the expected snowline.

The order of installation and connection of the weather station's optional elements depends on their list and installation locations '''(mast, pole, tripod)'''. The installation of optional elements should be carried out '''from top to bottom''', starting with the highest sensor '''(device).'''

'''''Note''''' – ''The results of measurements of basic meteorological parameters at stations make it possible to interpolate measured values at any point within a homogeneous territory with a radius of '''50 to 60 km''' (for precipitation and atmospheric phenomena – within a radius of approximately '''15 to 20 km''').''
[[File:SOKOL-M1 2.png|center|frameless|705x705px]]

== '''<big>Installation at the place of operation</big>''' ==
The product should be installed on a support mast on a '''flat surface''' free from obstacles that could affect the product's readings.

'''The maximum angle''' between the point where the weather station is attached to the support and the top of any obstructing objects should be '''45°''' to the horizontal surface.

To minimize the effect of precipitation splash, '''it is recommended to avoid''' areas with hard surfaces such as metal, asphalt, or concrete. Instead, '''it is recommended''' '''to''' install the product on low grass, gravel, pebbles, or soft soil. '''Avoid sites''' on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction (especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction) so that the selected site '''does not significantly distort''' wind speed and direction. '''It is not recommended to''' install the product on building roofs, as this '''may distort''' the measurement results.

Before installing the '''SOKOL-M1''', it is necessary to prepare a mounting support for the product. Metal pipes or poles with an outer diameter of '''40 to 48 mm''' should be used as supports.

'''The product is installed in the following order:'''

− unpack the product;

− check the componentss of the product in accordance with this operating manual. If the product is found to be incomplete, notify the supplier or the organization providing comprehensive centralized service, and consider the '''SOKOL-M1''' station not ready for use;

− Check the components of the product for damage. To do this, you must sequentially inspect all components of the product to check the condition of the power cables and interface cables for external mechanical damage. If external mechanical damage to the product components is found, the supplier or the organization providing comprehensive centralized service must be notified, and the weather station must be considered not ready for use;

− assemble the cup anemometer;

− install the '''cups (4)''' on the '''skirt (3)''';

− Install the '''skirt (3)''' on the '''shaft (2)'''.

- Install the anemometer and wind vane on the wing of the weather station and secure them with '''fastening nuts (7)''' as shown in '''Figure 7.'''

- Connect the interface cables of the anemometer and wind vane to connectors '''7 and 11 as shown in Figure 7.''' Optionally, wind sensors can be installed at a distance of '''up to 10 meters''' from the ground. The possible location of wind sensors relative to the '''SOKOL-M1''' weather station is shown in '''Figure 5''';

− Install the antennas in '''connectors 5 and 8 as shown in Figure 7''' according to the markings on the product body;

− Insert the SIM card into connector 4 and turn on the weather station by turning the '''key (12)''' twice. After turning on, LED '''indicator 1''' will start flashing '''at a frequency of 3 times per second''' (the weather station is in time capture mode) or '''1 time every 5 seconds''' (the time is set in the weather station).

− Connect the weather station to a PC using the USB cable included in the kit to connect the weather station to a PC as shown in '''Figure 7, connector 3.'''

− Install the standalone software.

− Establish a connection between the '''SokolCFG software''' and the weather station by opening the corresponding '''COM port.''' The readings from the weather station sensors should appear in the program window;

− Install the base of the product on the '''mounting bracket.''' Use a '''13 mm''' wrench to evenly tighten the mounting screws;

− '''Disconnect the product from the PC''';

− After completing the above steps, the product is '''ready for operation.'''

'''ATTENTION! IN THIS CASE, THE SOLAR PANEL OF THE PRODUCT MUST BE ORIENTED WITH ITS FRONT SIDE STRICTLY TOWARDS THE EQUATOR (SOUTH IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE OR NORTH IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE) TO SET THE WEATHER VANE TO ZERO* AND TO OBTAIN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR. IT IS NECESSARY THAT THERE ARE NO FASTENING ELEMENTS (BRACKETS) UNDER THE RADIATION SHIELD.'''

'''ATTENTION! ACHIEVE A HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE PRODUCT BASE USING THE INDICATIONS IN THE “SOKOLCFG” PROGRAM IN THE ‘POSITION’ WINDOW (THE “STATUS” TAB). THE VALUES OF THE LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSAL ANGLE OF INCLINATION MUST BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ±2 DEGREES.'''

'''Note''' – *The zero position of the wind vane is set when it points in the opposite direction from the front of the solar panel, so when the solar panel faces south, the zero position of the wind vane coincides with north!

[[File:SOKOL-M1 10.png|center|frameless|715x715px]]

= <big>'''Charging the battery, external power supply'''</big> =
Before starting to use the weather station, and also when the '''battery is low''', it must be '''fully charged.''' The battery installed in the weather station is charged from '''three power sources:'''

− '''sola'''r battery;<blockquote>'''The station’s internal battery is not charged by the solar panel on the station housing at temperatures below 0°C!'''</blockquote>− via a '''USB connector''' from an external power source;

− via an '''8-25 VDC''' connector on the weather station from an external power source.

'''The solar panel''' is an alternative power source that allows the weather station to operate in stand-alone mode. The '''USB and 12 V external power''' connectors are designed to efficiently charge the weather station's built-in rechargeable battery. To do this, it must be connected to a '''PC USB por'''t or a '''12 V DC''' power source.

It takes '''up to 12 hours''' to fully charge the rechargeable batteries from a '''DC power source'''. When the battery is completely discharged, the charging mode can take '''more than 20 hours.''' When charging the station via '''USB,''' charging is very slow '''(from 12 hours),''' and when the battery is '''deeply discharged,''' the charging period can take '''about a day.''' Therefore, the best way to charge is from an '''external power source.'''

The battery charge level can be checked either in the '''SokolCFG configurator''' in the '''Status tab''', in the '''Sokol mobile app''', or on the [[Natlogger]] server '''(Upow field)'''. The battery is considered '''fully charged''' when its voltage is approximately '''4.15±0.05''' V. The battery is considered discharged when its voltage is less than '''3.5 V.'''

'''Please note: if the station is connected to an external power source but the key is not turned to the ON position (i.e., the device's internal battery is not turned on), the station will not be charged.'''

'''To restart or turn off the station, do the following:'''

'''1)''' Disconnect '''external power''' sources.

'''2)''' Turn the key to the '''OFF''' position '''(if restarting is not necessary, skip step 3).'''

'''3)''' Turn the key from the '''OFF''' position to the '''ON''' position, then back to the '''OFF''' position, and then to the '''ON''' position again.

[[File:Sokol app gsm setting 2.png|none|frame|Choosing a data transmission channel]]

<blockquote>'''Important:''' In most cases, APN settings are stored on the SIM card itself, so the station usually receives them automatically when reading the SIM card. SIM cards with static white IP addresses (a practice common in corporate mobile service) deserve special attention. The APN for such SIM cards may differ from the publicly available ones and may require manual entry. You can only obtain the APN settings from your system administrator or the person responsible for corporate communications in your organization.</blockquote>

[[File:Sokol app weather station parameters 1.jpg|border|frameless]] [[File:Sokol app weather station parameters 2.jpg|border|frameless]]

The station transmits data at a '''specified interval'''. The default interval is '''30 minutes.''' '''The online data''' shows information from the '''last message.''' If for some reason the message '''was not transmitted,''' the online data will not show the meteo station readings. This most often occurs due to a '''weak GSM signal''' or a '''dead battery.'''

To ensure that the '''station''' transmits data reliably, monitor its readings, especially the '''RSSI''' and '''Voltage''' parameters.

'''RSSI''' is the '''GSM signal level.''' A signal level of '''27-31''' is considered good. At '''lower''' values, data '''may be''' '''missing''' periodically. In this case, you should change your mobile operator, install a reinforced antenna, or use another method of data transmission.

'''Voltage''' is the voltage of the '''internal battery'''. At values below '''3.8V,''' the power of the '''GSM''' antenna may decrease. Therefore, it is important to charge the station from an '''external power source''' when the internal battery voltage drops.
