4、 Internal Introduction of VDB1612
VDB1612 is developed based on Nordic BLE Bluetooth 4.2 chip. The road stud beacon is powered by two ER18505 batteries and adopts advanced power consumption control algorithms and power supply design methods,Under default configuration, the road stud beacon can achieve ultra long battery life, with a battery life of over 10 years,Durable and long-lasting.
5、 Battery life
According to the calculation of a single ER185053800mAh, the battery life of the road stud base station VDB1612 is shown in the following table:
| Transmission power (dBm) | Broadcast distance (meters) | Broadcast interval (ms) | Standby duration (day) |
| 4 | 80 meters | 100 | 436 |
| 400 | 1703 | ||
| 500 | 2112 | ||
| 900 | 3683 | ||
| 1000 | 4061 | ||
| 0 | 50 meters | 100 | 652 |
| 400 | 2514 | ||
| 500 | 3106 | ||
| 600 | 3683 | ||
| -4 | 30 meters | 100 | 866 |
| 200 | 1703 | ||
| 400 | 3300 | ||
| 500 | 4062 |
The above data may vary due to different environments and does not include battery loss.
Attention: The broadcast distance is the result of outdoor open distance testing, and indoor scenes may have attenuation effects due to the complex electromagnetic environment. Please test the broadcast distance based on the actual deployment situation, and adjust the transmission power to reduce the broadcast distance and achieve the goal of extending the service life.
