What does water-resistant mean for the Thermochron?
Thermochron iButtons have a grommet that creates a seal that is water-resistant but not waterproof (hermetic). They are IP56 rated (see below for link to more information). If you are using the iButton in an environment that exposes the iButton to high moisture content or is simply splashed with fresh or salt water, there should be no problem. Just wipe it off before touching it to the Blue Dot. If you have the need to submerge the iButton then we suggest that you use our DS9107 capsule to keep them dry while logging temperatures.
