logger 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.
Attach to almost anything
The 16mm iButtons (about the size of 5 stacked coins) attach unobtrusively to almost any container surface or wall-on bottles, totes, boxes, crates, pallets, air cargo containers, refrigerators, semi trailers, railroad freight cars, etc.
The stainless steel armor withstands dirt, moisture and rough treatment.
For adverse environments, they can be housed in the iButton Capsule (see below).

Meets UL#913 (4th Edit.).
Information from real time readings can be used to control processes (see FAQ link below)The standard Thermochron (DS1921G/H/Z) allows 2048 readings with time intervals of 1 to 255 minutes;
the high-capacity Thermochrons/Hygrochrons allow 8192 readings with time intervals from 1 second to 273 hours. Additionally, the Hygrochron allows simultaneous temperature and humidity logging and offers selectable resolution settings.Intrinsically Safe Apparatus: approved under Entity Concept for use in Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C and D Locations
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: one Kit which includes the reader, software and case, and
choice of Thermocron (generic, fridge, or room/body temperature)
Optionally:
fobs to assist in the handling of the Thermocrons. nmr

The tiny opening in the lid of the Hygrochron employs a special filter that allows water vapor to pass through and reach the internal humidity sensor, but repels liquid-phase water.
For applications where both temperature and humidity are important (foods, chemicals, powders, HVAC systems), the Hygrochrons deliver unprecedented performance in an unbelievably compact size.

TC-Spy provides the
ability to quickly:
check if a Thermocron has had any alarms
display the
alarm date and times
display the last temperature reading
stop a running
mission.
restart a stopped Thermocron using the last settings.
This
makes it ideal for applications where a PC is not available.
TCSPY2 is a TC-Spy with 2M download memory: $350+GST
Allows the opportunity to view and control the Thermocron without a PC.
TC-Spy2 has the
ability to download the complete contents of the Thermocron into its memory.
Up
to 600 mission results can be stored in memory.
Missions are then downloaded to
a computer for viewing with eTemperature.
This makes it ideal for applications where the Thermocron must remain in place and can not be easily connected to a computer.
TC-Spy also has the ability to:
• display the stored
description of the Thermocron
• display the last temperature reading
•
display the list of alarm date, time and durations
• stop a running Thermocron
•
restart a stopped Thermocron using its last settings
The Thermocron still
needs to be programmed through a PC.
Simply touch the TC-Spy to the Thermocron to find
... If any temperatures have been too high or too low
... When they occurred
... For how long
Hold the TC-Spy onto the Thermocron for 10seconds to
... Stop the current mission of the Thermocron is running or

iButton Capsule mechanical enclosure - moisture, solvents and pressure
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.
