Rushing to deliver results can sometimes lead to compromises in hardware selection or installation quality. For instance, deploying a fuel sensor without full calibration, or installing a GPS device without testing data accuracy, often results in misleading information.
Capacitive fuel level sensors, in particular, must be installed vertically, ideally at the tank’s geometric center, and calibrated at multiple levels. Without this, readings will fluctuate – especially in motion – leading to false alarms or distrust in the data.
Escort sensors offer advanced filtering algorithms that stabilise readings during vehicle motion, helping to eliminate typical noise that leads to false alerts. If installed correctly and paired with the Escort Configurator app, these sensors provide stable, trustworthy fuel data across a wide range of vehicles and machinery.
Signal noise, poor grounding, and sensor incompatibility with vehicle electronics can also introduce errors. These are avoidable issues if integrators allocate time for calibration, use proper mounting hardware, and apply motion-based filtering algorithms.
