MX2501 HOBO pH and Temperature Data Logger

Overview

Designed for long-term monitoring of pH in estuaries, lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans. This logger leverages Bluetooth technology to communicate wirelessly with Onset's free HOBOconnect app running on your mobile device or Windows computer, making logger setup, calibration, and data offload quick and easy. Plus, a guided pH calibration process in the HOBOconnect app makes an otherwise complicated process easier to follow. This affordable, compact logger delivers high resolution data and dramatically cuts the time and effort needed to collect it.

 
Features

• Guided pH calibration following on-screen prompts in HOBOconnect app
•   Rugged PVC housing for deployment in both freshwater and saltwater environments
•   Quick and easy data offload via Bluetooth to mobile devices or Windows computers
•   Water detection system for longer battery life and less maintenance
•   Potentiometric pH electrode with plastic body, gel electrolyte, and double cloth junction
•   User-replaceable battery, pH electrode, and anti-biofouling copper guard
•   Accuracy of ±0.10 pH units within ±10°C of temperature at calibration

Logger

Operating Range: -2° to 50°C (28.4° to 122°F) — non-freezing
Depth Rating: IP68; waterproof to 40 m (131 ft)
Water Detection: Water conductivity level of 100 µS/cm or greater is necessary for reliable detection of water. Deionized water or water below 100 µS/cm may not be detected.
The water conductivity circuit may not reliably detect water that has frozen around the electrodes, i.e. below 0°C (32°F).
Radio Power: 1 mW (0 dBm)
Transmission Range: Approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) line-of-sight in air
Wireless Data Standard: Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart)
Logging Rate: 1 second to 18 hours
Logging Modes: Fixed interval (normal, statistics) or burst
Memory Modes: Wrap when full or stop when full
Start Modes: Immediate, push button, date & time, or next interval
Stop Modes: When memory is full, push button, date & time, or after a

set logging period

Time Accuracy: ±1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery Type: One AA 1.5 Volt, user-replaceable
Battery Life: 1 year typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always On selected in software.
2 years typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Off Water Detect enabled in software.
3 years typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always Off selected in software.
Faster logging intervals and statistics sampling intervals, burst logging, remaining connected with the app, excessive downloads, and paging may impact battery life.
pH Electrode Typical Minimum Life: 6 months in sample with ionic strength:≥ 100 µS/cm
Memory: 152 KB (43,300 measurements, maximum)
Full Memory Download Time: Approximately 60 seconds; may take longer the farther the mobile device is from the logger
Dimensions: 22.86 x 4.27 cm (9.0 x 1.68 inches); mounting hole 0.64 cm (0.25 inches)
Weight: 268.2 g (9.46 oz)
Buoyancy: Fresh water: 13.6 g (0.48 oz) negative
Salt water: 19.6 g (0.69 oz) negative
Wetted Materials    Logger: PVC housing and sensor end cap, polycarbonate closure caps and mounting end cap with a TPE switch
pH electrode: plastic-bodied with Pellon® junctions and gel electrolyte, glass pH sensor bulb
