TIDA-01518: Environmental Limitations

Part Number: TIDA-01518

Dear all,

I have just seen the product TIDA-01518 and it looks like to have an interesting application in our business. Nevertheless, I couldn't find more information about it's environmental limitations. I would like to know what would be the life estimate for your product, considering the presence of water and gases like CO2.
Have you made any tests in such conditions? Does all the elctronic components survive immersed on water with the presence of CO2? Would you need an encapsulation for this case?

Also, I see that you have an antenna for data transmission. If your product is inside a metal case with 50 mm of wall thickness, would it still be able to transmit data? What would be the range?

Thanks in advance for your attention,

Camila

    Hi Camila,

    Thank you for reaching out to TI regarding this design! We do more targeted functional testing than unique environmental testing for this particular design. The design guide details all the testing performed on this design, but we typically leave it to the customer to tailor the design to their specific end product requirements.

    As far as the environmental limitations of the design, the leak detection probes can be immersed in water, regardless of CO2 presence. The circuitry would need to be encapsulated to prevent damage to the components though.

    For the antenna question, the data transmission will not work inside a metal casing unfortunately.

    I hope this helps!
