Calibrate Temperature Sensor

A temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature inside vehicles for temperature-sensitive goods. This data can be used to monitor the condition of the cargo or the refrigerated trailer and can help to prevent damage caused by extreme temperatures.

Temperature sensors can be used in combination with humidity sensors to provide a more complete picture of the environment inside vehicles and to help ensure that the cargo is being transported under optimal conditions.

To Get Started

• Log in to your account.
• Go to Settings > General > Object.
• Double-click on the object record for which you want to calibrate the sensor.
• Navigate to Sensors.
  
  

To Calibrate the Sensor 

• Activate the connection type by clicking on the checkbox given in the Active column.
• Click on the dropdown of Connected Sensor and select Temperature.
  
  
• Click on the Calibration button. A new window will appear.
  
  
• General: Provide the necessary information for temperature calibration in the specified fields.
  • Enter the Multiplication Factor, a unit correction value that adjusts raw data by multiplying it. This factor is determined based on the specific behavior of the device.

• • Select the checkbox for Voltage if the device transmits data in voltage.
    
    • Upon selecting the Voltage option, users can calibrate for voltage data by choosing one of the two available methods:
      
      • Manual Calibration: You can add individual voltage ranges and corresponding Temperature values by clicking on the ➕ icon.
        
      • Upload Calibration via XLS: You can upload an XLS file for calibration mentioning different voltage ranges and Temperature.
        • Download a Sample file and specify the voltage range by entering values in the Voltage From and Voltage To columns, providing the corresponding Temperature readings for each range. 
        • Upload the calibration file with Upload File option.
          

• • Input Scaling: Choose the measurement unit in which the system will receive data from the device.
  • Output Scaling: Select the desired unit for displaying the temperature value within the system.
  • Temperature Violation: The configuration will be used in Alert to generate the Temperature alert based on sensor-wise and object-wise.  
    • Enter the Value and conditions using the dropdown list.
    • Specify the Duration in seconds. If the temperature value remains within the defined range for the specified duration, the system will trigger an alert.  
  • Apply To: This feature allows you to replicate the same fuel calibration settings across different devices or vehicles, streamlining the configuration process.
    • When you click on "Apply To," a dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to select the specific object to which you wish to apply the same calibration settings.
      
• Ports: The temperature calibration process provides users with the option to select specific battery ports. By choosing the appropriate Battery ports and the corresponding Unit during calibration, the system will display battery information along with the temperature information on the live tracking screen widget.
  

• Click on the Save 💾 icon on the temperature calibration window to save the entire configuration.
