2. Analog Input: Seat belt sensor can be connected to Analog input 1 with priority - high and low level value (depending on the voltage from seatbelt, lets say 12 VDC) - 10 VDC and High level - 13 VDC. Idea is to make the voltage fall between low level and high level value and generate event when the voltage enters that range. If the voltage from seat belt sensor is negative, please use relay to convert to positive voltage. Please find screenshot below for reference.

|<strong>How to connect the fuel gauge sensor to the Analog input of the FMx and calibrate for accurate results? </strong>
 
|-
 
|-
| Connect the analog input of the FMx to the vehicle fuel gauge data wire.
+
| We can measure the fuel level using analog input by matching the voltage coming from the fuel level sensor already mounted in the car, with the fuel level in the tank.
 
+
More information on how the AIN has to be connected and calibrated can be found here: [[Analog Fuel Sensor]]
Connect the device to the PC and open the configurator under IO Locate the Analog input connected ie Analog input 1 or Analog input 2.
 
 
 
Turn on the ignition till the fuel gauge can show the fuel level on the dash.
 
 
 
Empty the tank.
 
 
 
Create a table of voltage against liters.
 
 
 
Add liters in batches of for instance 2 liters if the capacity is small like 40 liters or 5 litres if the capacity is above 80, while checking the voltage in the configurator.
 
 
 
After adding, give it a little time for the fuel gauge to read the voltage before adding a new batch.
 
 
 
Do this until the fuel tank is full.
 
 
 
Implement the table on the tracking platform using the AVL ID of the analog input connected.
