iButton temperature data loggers
This surprising data logger looks exactly like a small battery, but has the features of a larger datalogger. The price is on level with disposable chart recorders, however the Thermochron ® iButton has an expected life time of up to 8 years. It is water resistant and accurate to ±1 °C. To run the system you need a Thermochron ® interface, any number of Thermochrons ® and software.
Available Features
- Water resistant
- Meets UL#913 for intrinsically safe apparatus, approved under entity concept for use in Class I, Division 1, Group A,B,C and D Locations (application pending)
- Intervals: May be set from 1 second to 4.5 hours, depending on model.
- Two alarm points (max and min) may be set in software when starting the logger. Alarm status and time in alarm is shown when querying the logger from the computer.
This data logger has all the features of a larger temperature datalogger, but is the size of a small coin cell battery. These dataloggers are inexpensive, with a lifetime of 5-7 years. iButton dataloggers are water resistant and accurate to ±1 °C between -30 to + 70 °C.
Temperature Technology has expanded the T-TEC datalogger software to also operate the iButtons. A starter kit, complete with software, iButtonspecific serial interface or USB adaptor and one Thermochron data logger, is available.
