	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.'''		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>'''<u>Important! The addresses in the eCargosens cabin unit and the I-5 digital display must match for the data to be displayed correctly:</u>'''</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:I-5 sensor settings 3.jpg\|center\|frameless]]


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

			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.
