SSI's Acu-trac™ ultrasonic fuel level sensors are designed specifically to meet the needs of the transportation industry. Acu-trac™ fuel level sensors are configured with two outputs, the first is an analog gauge drive output for driving the fuel gauge and the second is a digital J1708/J1587 serial data link for providing on demand remote fuel information.
The Acu-trac™ fuel level sensors have no moving parts making it a reliable alternative to conventional float sensors. However, the Acu-trac™ sensors are more than just another fuel level sensor choice, it's J1708/J1587 Messaging coupled with it's Off Vehicle Communications capability enable you to capture real time fuel data when you want it and where you want it. Such as:
Average MPG - The running average miles per gallon, MPG, achieved by the vehicle over the last 16 hours of operation.
Fuel Quantity Remaining - The quantity of fuel remaining on board in gallons.
Fuel Tank Capacity - The total capacity of the fuel tank(s) in gallons.
Vehicle VIN Number - For all off vehicle broadcasts the vehicle's VIN number is included in the packet message in addition to the sensor's serial number.
Idle Fuel - The cumulative idle fuel burned by the engine since the last time the fuel data was reset.
PTO Fuel - The cumulative PTO fuel burned by the engine since the last time the fuel data was reset.
Fuel Added - The cumulative fuel added to the tank since the last time the fuel data was reset.
Fuel Lost - The cumulative fuel lost from the tank since the last time the fuel data was reset.
Time and Date Stamp - and reason for the transmitted message.
Vehicle Position - i.e. - Latitude - Longitude and location relative to municipalities.
J1708 Bus or Sensor Tampering - When and amount of fuel used while the J1708 data link was disconnected.
