| Currently Teltonika is providing beacons with pre-calibrated RSSI at 1m for iBeacon and RSSI at 0m for Eddystone that should be suitable for most use cases, however we plan to introduce user calibration in the future. | | Currently Teltonika is providing beacons with pre-calibrated RSSI at 1m for iBeacon and RSSI at 0m for Eddystone that should be suitable for most use cases, however we plan to introduce user calibration in the future. |

| + | === <big>EN12830 modification related questions</big> === |
| + | |
| + | ==== What does having EN12830 mean? ==== |
| + | EN12830 certification indicates that our device is suitable for cold-chain temperature monitoring. It features an accurate temperature sensor, food-grade casing, and the ability to store historical temperature data. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Are sensors calibrated? ==== |
| + | Yes, our sensors are calibrated. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Can you re-calibrate the sensors? ==== |
| + | Yes, recalibration is possible. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ==== Do you need to recalibrate the sensors? ==== |
| + | |
| + | Recalibration is not mandatory under EN12830. The standard states that the frequency of verification is governed by EN13486, which specifies: |
| + | |
| + | The frequency of checks depends on the user’s needs and the manufacturer’s guidelines. If the temperature measuring instrument is installed on a vehicle that undergoes annual or periodic maintenance, it is recommended (but not required) to check the instrument during those inspections. |
| + | |
| + | Some countries may have additional regulations that go beyond EN12830. In such cases, we expect clients to submit their devices for periodic verification, which our devices are designed to pass without needing recalibration. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Our re-calibration guidelines:''' |
| + | |
| + | The temperature sensor has a long-term drift of less than 0.01°C per year, meaning it should maintain its 0.5°C accuracy class throughout its expected service life. In other words, recalibration is not expected to be needed after purchase. |

| |
− | ==== Can you calibrate the sensors? ====
| |
− | Temperature / Humidity sensors are pre-calibrated from factory.
| |
− | For example, temperature long term drift is 0.03 Celsius/year, so the sensor should remain accurate within expected service-life time.
| |
− | It would be cheaper to purchase new sensor then to re-calibrate it. Therefore, there is no manual calibration option available/planned at the moment.
| |
− | If there are any specific requirements why the sensor be must be recalibrated, please contact your sales manager with detailed description of your use case.
