Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document outlines the "Salient Characteristics" for internal temperature and relative humidity transmitters. It specifies the minimum required capabilities for compatibility and functional performance with the existing TempTrak enterprise monitoring system.

• System Compatibility: Must be fully interoperable with the existing TempTrak system, communicate natively with TempTrak components, and integrate automatically into existing data reporting and alerting. No additional hardware, licensing, or reconfiguration is permitted.
• Wireless Communication: Requires 900 MHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum with up to 2500 ft open-field transmission capability, operating on the same wireless architecture as existing TempTrak sensors.
• Sensor Performance: Specifies temperature range (-4°F to 140°F), temperature accuracy (±0.5°F at 77°F), relative humidity range (0 to 95% RH), relative humidity accuracy (±2% from 10-90% RH), and NIST-traceable calibration.
• Operational Requirements: Must be battery-powered (3-volt lithium), have a minimum of 400 hours onboard data storage, require no hardwired installation, weigh approximately 3 oz (85 g), include a minimum one-year warranty, and be capable of continuous 24/7 monitoring per VHA Directive 1108.07.
• Form, Fit, Function: Must physically and electronically match currently deployed transmitters, fit existing mounting locations without modification, and support the facility's TempTrak configuration interface.

This document defines the essential technical specifications and compatibility requirements for any proposed temperature and relative humidity transmitters. Bidders must ensure their proposed solutions meet or exceed all listed salient characteristics to be considered compliant.
