How often should refrigeration system monitoring and alarm systems be calibrated and maintained?

Refrigeration system monitoring and alarm systems should be calibrated and maintained regularly to ensure accuracy, reliability, and optimal performance. The frequency of calibration and maintenance depends on the system’s usage, environment, and manufacturer’s recommendations. As a general rule, calibration should be performed every 6-12 months, while maintenance activities such as software updates, sensor cleaning, and battery replacement should be performed quarterly or semi-annually. Regular calibration and maintenance ensure that the system continues to provide accurate data, reliable alerts, and effective monitoring, ultimately minimizing equipment downtime and ensuring food safety.
