ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Operating temperature
-20°C to +60°C / -4°F to +140°F
EN 60068-2-14: 2009, Test N: Change of temperature
Water resistance
Good, tested 5 hours in 1m deep water (IP68)
Vibration resistance
EN 60068-2-6: 2008, Test Fc: Vibration, 10G
EN 60068-2-27: 2009, Test Ea: Shock, 20G
ESD immunity
±8 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (air discharge)
±4 kV according to EN 61000-4-2 (contact discharge)
Chemical resistance ***
No physical or performance changes in:
- 168h Motor oil exposure
- 48h Salt water (salinity 10%) exposure
- 48h Sulfuric acid (10%, pH 2) exposure
- 48h NaOH (10%, pH 13) exposure
Generally good resistance with moderate concentrations
of acids, alcohols, alkalis, detergents, and cleaners.
Acetone should be avoided.
Expected lifetime****
3-4 years with typical operating parameters
***Values are the best recommendations; resistance against
environmental conditions depends on the combination of all influencing
factors, exposure duration and chemical concentrations. Thus, product’s
final suitability for certain environmental conditions is recommended to
be tested. Contact Confidex for more specific information.
**** Beacon lifetime is optimized for long term use, and is highly affected
by operating mode parameters, accelerometer usage and ambient
temperature. Configured TX power level and advertisement interval have
influence on lifetime.
