The
Thermocron temperature logger is an incredibly small
and easy to use device that is a fraction of the price of every other temperature
logger on the market. nmr
Standard devices have temperature ranges -40° to 85°C, or -5°C to 25°C
for fridge loggers.
Accuracy: from -30°C to +70°C
is ±1°C
A new logger has
just come available which has a temperature range of +15°C to +140°C
Accuracy
between +110°C to +140°C is ±1.5°C. For the remaining range it is ±7°C. Please
enquire. zkez-
The Logtag offers the same price advantage with a built-in alarm indicator.
The TC-Spy Hand Held Unit provides a convenient method
to retrieve results from the field without having a PC.
The TC-Spy will store
results in memory for later download to a computer.
eTemperature
software makes using everything quick and easy.
Custom software
can also be created to ensure that your needs are met.
Thermocrons are very low cost temperature
logger that are made of stainless steel.
Their small size and sturdy construction
make them ideal for wet and rough conditions.
Their low price make them ideal
for tracking everything from individual fridges to individual shipments.
They
can be housed in the iButton Capsule (see below) in adverse environments.

Intrinsically Safe Apparatus: approved under Entity Concept for use in Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C and D Locations (application pending)The Thermochron and Hygrochron iButton data loggers are ideal for a diverse range of applications. Because of their stainless steel casing, these devices are especially useful in harsh environments. Care must be taken, however, not to subject the units to environmental forces that exceed their specified level of protection. Thermochron and Hygrochron iButtons are certified to IP56 (dust and strong water jets), but should not be submerged.
For a submerged application a waterproof enclosure such as the iButton Capsule must be used.
To get started all you need
is: 1 Kit which includes the reader, software and case, and
choice of Thermocron (generic, fridge, or room/body temperature)
Optionally

Detailed
data sheet on DS1922E
The iButton® Capsule
is a mechanical enclosure to protect Temperature Logger iButtons (DS1921 and S1922
series) from moisture, solvents and pressure. The device consists of a base with
the cavity for a F5 iButton, a screw-in plug with O-ring to seal the enclosure,
and a top with two stainless-steel screws to mount the iButton Capsule to a cable,
e.g., to measure temperature at different levels within a liquid. The cable is
inserted into the notch of the plug where it is held in place by the matching
protrusion of the top piece.
