Hello,
I have the liquid level sensor LDDS20, I am doing the first tests, but I have a doubt regarding the installation, I tested the sensor directly in the tank, but does not measure, throws "no sensor". 
Is it because you need to put ultrasonic coupling fluid, or should you measure without it?

Hi, Claudio,
 
Please use the new decoder:
 
The problem there is invalid reading. Can you access to the device and run AT+5VT=5000. this will increase the heat time for the sensor. and see if now can detect.
 
Best Regards
Edwin Chen

Hi, Edwin,

I tried using the new decoder in Chirpstack, and I got an invalid reading:
LDDS20_NEW_DECODER.png

Then, I tested with different sensor heating times:
.-  AT+5VT=5000
.-  AT+5VT=10000
.-  AT+5VT=15000
.-  AT+5VT=20000

But I still get the same result.. What could be going on?

Hi, Claudio,
 
Do you add Ultrasonic coupling paste or AB glue between the sensor and the container?
 
Best Regards

Hi Edwin,

between the sensor and the container there is nothing, so I ask: 

.-  Ultrasonic coupling paste or ab glue is required?
.-  the two products have the same function?
.-  which of the two outputs should have measurement results?

Hi, Claudio,
 
Yes, you need to have either one of them. Please check the installation instruction in the LDD20 manual.
 
Both are the same , you can choose either of them.
 
.-  which of the two outputs should have measurement results?
I don;t understand.
 
Best Regards
Edwin Chen
