Connecting fuel level sensors
Fuel level sensors manufactured by Omnicomm are connected to the TDC device via
the RS485 interface. The device is supplied with all the required connecting cables.
On the basis that TDC-M100 TDC devices cannot supply GPS information revealing the
vehicle location, it is recommend that the fuel level sensor is only operated with TDC-
B100 /TDC-B200 TDC devices. Otherwise, the signal from the fuel level sensor for the
TDC-M100 will only be supplied with a time stamp and no position determination.
▸
Use the connecting cable included in the delivery.
