  • Page 3: Definition And Purpose Of The Sensor

    Wireless tilt angle sensor DU-BLE (hereinafter - ‘sensor’, ‘device’, ‘article’, ‘angle sensor’ or ‘DU-BLE), manufactured by the Escort Monitoring Systems, is designed to measure the angle at which certain parts of machinery and mechanisms tilt and to determine the direction in which such parts rotate (if set to the corresponding mode) relative to the gravity.

  • Page 7: Description Of Operating Modes

    5 Description of operating modes 5.1 Vertical rotation control This mode has 2 formats of transmitted data: 1) Direction only - used, for example, to control the direction of rotation of a concrete mixer. The sensor is installed according to fig. 2. Depending on the direction of rotation around the axis, a trigger event is transmitted: when rotating to the right the transmitted value is 1, when rotating to the left - the value is 2.

    Fig.3 Vertical rotation mode settings. You can select the values that will be transmitted during operation. 5.2 Horizontal rotation control This mode also has 2 transmission data formats: 1) Direction only - used, for example, to control the direction of rotation of a concrete mixer. The sensor is installed on the side surface (Fig.4).
  • Page 9 The rotation speed will be calculated by the sensor after the first three full rotations. You can learn more about how to set up speed recognition on the monitoring platform in this manual https://docs.google.com/document/d/13xV8zCP8JVlJ-dzKR4HQJ8sr28X-L5w_0APE2Nq293E/edi t?usp=sharing Fig. 4 DU-BLE placement on a concrete mixer in horizontal rotation mode.

  • Page 12 In “2 axes” measurements mode, you can track rotation about the pitch and roll axes. If you place the sensor on the surface, set it to 0 and point the convex part away from you, then the roll axis will pass through the center of the sensor away from you and forward, and the pitch axis will pass from left to right through the center of the sensor.

  • Page 13: Vertical Inclinometer

    5.4 Vertical inclinometer In vertical mode, the sensor is installed on the edge, with the convex part to the right. The pitch axis passes through the center of the sensor away from you and forward. The roll axis is from left to right through the center of the sensor.

    5.5 Container This mode is used to control unloading and loading of containers moved by such machinery units as waste-management trucks, dump trucks, etc., as well as for more precise control of the opening of the hatch cover. After installing the sensor, you should set 0. During this procedure the machinery unit must be placed on an even area with the working arm(s) folded.

    This mode is designed for use on excavators and for monitoring bucket’s (excavator arm’s) operating time. (Fig.11) 0 is set via the mobile application after installing the DU-BLE on the excavator. The excavator should be placed on an even surface with the arm folded.
  • Page 16 These settings help to separate the operating and idle time of the machinery unit, preventing the sensor from sending false status. Parameters can be selected in the appropriate ranges (Fig. 12, Example of operating in “Bucket” mode The first measurement marked by the blue line.

  • Page 19 Fig 14.1 Set required values When the mechanism moves from the stowed position to the working position, the sensor crosses the "Upper limit" and "Lower limit». The Upper limit is recommended to be set as “The angle at the stowed position - 10 °”.
  • Page 20 Fig. 14.1 Once the blade is lowered, the timer starts. Its duration is set in the Turn ON Delay parameter. When crossing the border "Upper limit" towards a smaller angle, the Turn ON delay timer starts. If, after the Turn ON delay timer expires, the current angle does not exceed the "Upper limit", then the event notification will be sent (the transmitted value is «1», or another value that you set).

    6 Filtration In some of the DU-BLE’s operating modes there is a setting of the “Filtration Level”. There are several types of filtering: 1) Mow; 2) Medium; 3) High; 4) Very high. It is recommended to select a low or medium level. A higher filtration level should be set only if your machinery unit experiences a high level of vibration without the actual movement of the mechanism that is monitored by the sensor..
