The SmartButton is built for applications where temperature data must be collected reliably without adding complexity to the system being monitored. Its ultra-compact, self-contained design allows it to be placed at the point of interest—inside packaging, equipment, storage areas, or transport containers—without interfering with normal operation.
Sensing, data storage, power, and timing functions are integrated into a single compact device, eliminating the need for external probes or wiring. Optional mounting accessories and a protective capsule allow you to adapt the logger to your installation and environmental requirements.
Once configured, the SmartButton operates autonomously. It records temperature according to the selected sampling interval and continues logging until the session is complete or the memory is full. With no external connections to manage during recording, deployment is quick and repeatable, making the SmartButton well suited for both one-off studies and routine monitoring programs.
Recorded data is downloaded using ACR’s TrendReader for SmartButton software, which is designed to make interpretation fast and intuitive. Temperature profiles can be reviewed immediately, with high and low zones clearly highlighted to identify excursions.
Users can view minimum, maximum, and average values, compare multiple loggers or sessions, and export data for documentation or further analysis. This makes the SmartButton practical for validation work, audits, and troubleshooting.
The SmartButton’s small size and cost profile make it practical to deploy many loggers simultaneously. This enables multi-point temperature monitoring across rooms, storage locations, equipment, or shipments without centralized systems or continuous connectivity. This approach is especially valuable when understanding variation across locations is more important than streaming live data from a single point.
Expand your monitoring options with the SmartButton Protective Capsule. This reusable, IP68-rated waterproof enclosure protects the logger from surrounding liquids, solvents, and pressure, making it suitable for submerged temperature monitoring and other demanding applications where compatibility has been confirmed. The capsule combines a durable polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing with a silicone O-ring seal and screw-in closure. A cable-clamping top helps secure it at a consistent monitoring position.
Configure the SmartButton before sealing it inside the capsule, then remove it after monitoring to download the recorded data. The capsule does not extend the logger’s −40°C to +85°C measurement range and slows its response to temperature changes. Confirm suitability for your chemicals, pressure, and process conditions before use.
SmartButton data loggers are commonly used in food production and storage, pharmaceutical and vaccine cold chains, equipment monitoring, validation studies, and general environmental tracking. Their simplicity, durability, and long service life make them well suited to both field and laboratory environments. Select the appropriate accessories and environmental protection for each application.
Choose from several mounting and identification accessories to position your SmartButton temperature loggers securely and keep multi-logger deployments organized.
Magnetic Backing: Peel-and-stick magnetic backing attaches to the SmartButton for convenient placement and repositioning on suitable metal surfaces.
Adhesive Backing: Secure the logger directly to a suitable surface for a compact installation.
Hard Plastic Mounting Plate: Provides a rigid mounting option for consistent placement at your monitoring location.
Plastic ID Tags: Make individual loggers easier to identify and match to their monitoring locations, simplifying data review and analysis when deploying multiple units.
For installations exposed to liquids or demanding environmental conditions, add the optional SmartButton Protective Capsule.
Software & Interface Cable are required for full functionality of the product.
