Configuring IDA-11 or IDA-211 for Air1

Introduction
Both IDA-11 and IDA-211 devices offer the same hardware inputs and outputs and run the same software application and this guide
is common to both devices. The only difference is the housing and the IDA-211 sports a display. The software application is referred
to as IDAX while the two hardware devices are referred to collectively as IDA-x11.

Out of the box, the IDA-x11 will communicate with Yara Telemetry when the SIM is activated however, it will NOT transmit any
data until a mode of operation has been chosen. The mode of operational is determined by, and referred to as a Script. The IDA-x11
is supplied with several scripts for Nitrates, YSM and Air1/AdBlue applications.

Make a local WiFi network connection to the IDA-x11

1. Power the IDA-x11 device.
2. Connect to the IDA-x11 access point. The default WiFi network security key is Hammer1905
3. Open a browser and enter 192.168.2.1 in the address bar. Chrome, Firefox or Edge is recommended.

Alternate connection #1 via Ethernet

1. Power the IDA-x11 device.
2. Connect to the IDA-x11 Ethernet port on your computer with a CAT-5 cross-over network cable.
3. Open a browser and enter 10.0.0.21 in the address bar. Chrome, Firefox or Edge is recommended.

Alternate connection #2 via USB-C

1. Power the IDA-x11 device.
2. Connect to the IDA-x11 USB-C port on your computer with a USB-C cable.
3. Windows 10 may require an additional network driver to enable this interface.
4. Open a browser and enter 192.168.3.1 in the address bar. Chrome, Firefox or Edge is recommended.
Log into the IDA
Use your Yara Telemetry account to log into an IDA-x11. This requires the IDA-x11 to have an active SIM and connection to Yara
Telemetry. It can take some moments to respond. Alternatively, or for offline devices, you can use your IDA-100 username and
password. Contact Yara Telemetry if you need an account.

WebUI
The IDAX Web User Interface (WebUI) is very similar to the IDA-10 and IDA-100 interface however it is a completely new system
and there are differences.
Settings – Site name, Group code and Time zone
Click the Settings tile

Expand the Controller section.

Click on the name and enter a meaningful name. This makes it easier to
locate in Yara Telemetry.
Click the tick to accept the change.

Click on the group code and enter a Business Unit ID.

be.air1
dk.air1
es.air1
fr.air1
lu.air1
nl.air1
no.air1
se.air1
Click the tick to accept the change.

Set the Time zone if necessary and click the tick to accept the change.

Close the Controller section.

Settings – Script type
In Script type, select Adblue telemetry and accept the change. This will configure one analogue input and one Trend for a typical
single-tank Air1 application.

After changing the script, there are 2 essential steps:

1. Click the Script control Start button or reboot the IDA-x11

2. RELOAD THE BROWSER. Press F5 on your keyboard or click the browser reload button. You will have to
log in to the IDA-x11 again.

Alternately, reboot the device and log in again

Inputs – Tank level measurement
Click the Inputs tile.

The AdBlue script enables one input and configures it with default settings. To edit the default settings, click on the AI0: AdBlue
row.

Simple 0-100% signal

The analogue signal represents the volume in the tank where 4mA is empty and 20mA is full. After setting Scaling max to the
capacity of the tank. Click the tick to accept the change.
 Linear signal from a pressure sensor
The analogue signal represents the height of the product in the tank where 4mA is empty and full will not reach 20mA.

1. Set Scaling max to the capacity of the tank.

2. Select the Tank level sensor range. More options will appear.
3. Set the Height of product when the tank if full.
4. Select the Air1 from the Product list.
5. Click the Calculate max mA which will set the measuring range max field.
6. Click the tick to accept the change.

Non-linear signal from a pressure sensor
The analogue signal represents the height of the product in a cylinder-on-it’s-side tank where 4mA is empty and full will not reach
20mA.

1. Set Tank type to Laying cylinder. More options will appear.

2. Select the Tank level sensor range. More options will appear.
3. Select the Air1 from the Product list.
4. Set the Dimensions of the cylinder. Dimensions must be in metres. The calculated capacity will be inserted into the
Scaling max field.
5. Click the Calculate max mA which will set the Measuring range max field.
6. Click the tick to accept the change.

You may have to repeat 4 & 5, adjusting the Radius to get the calculated capacity to match the tank.

Sending a calibrated level signal to an external display
Click the Outputs tile and select AO0: Display output.

1. Set the Scaling max to match the Scaling max of the input.
2. Select appropriate units. This is only for display purposes.
3. Click the tick to accept the change.

NEVER CHANGE THE VALUES OF Measuring range – unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Low and high level switching
Click the Parameters tile and edit the Low_Level parameter or High_Level parameter.

A value of 0 disables switching. Set the value to the level where the switch show activate.

For Low_Level, this might be 200 litres. When the tank level drops below 200 litres, Digital Output 2 will activate (close).

If Tank volume < Low_Level then DO2 = closed, otherwise DO2 = open

For High_Level, this might be 3500 litres for a 4000 litre tank. Digital output 3 will be active (closed) when the level is below
3500 litres. Levels above 3500 litres will deactivate (open) the output. As this might be used for overfill protection, the output will
also deactivate (open) if power is lost or if the device is rebooted.

If Tank volume > High_Level then DO3 = open, otherwise DO3 = closed
Trends
Click the Trends tile.

1. Set the Maximum to the capacity of the tank.

2. Set the Units to LTR
3. Leave Trend type as Tank and Security as Low.
4. Click the tick to save the changes.
