Overview

The HOBO U12 Stainless Temp Logger is ideal for food, pharmaceutical, autoclave, and other applications where high-accuracy temperature data is critical. With its broad temperature range (-40 to 125C) and food-grade stainless steel housing, the U12 Stainless Temp Logger withstands process conditions from pasteurization to flash freezing and washdown. The U12 Stainless is also ideal for high-temperature or deep underwater applications.

FAQs

What are the issues with deploying U12 Stainless Temperature Loggers in salt water? [show/hide]

316 Stainless Steel has good corrosion resistance but it can be damaged by contact with dissimilar metals or through crevice corrosion in salt water. The logger should not be deployed for more than 6 months (lifetime cumulative) in salt or brackish water or the housing will eventually fail and water will damage the electronics. How long the logger will last depends on many factors such as salinity, level of dissolved oxygen and temperature.

What are the issues for using the U12 logger in washing machines, dryers, or other tumbling environments? [show/hide]

Repetitive, high-impact mechanical shock encountered in some environments (e.g., washing machines, dryers, or other tumbling environments) can cause the logger battery to become detached from the logger electronics, thereby causing logger failure. It may be possible to retrieve data that was logged prior to this type of failure. Contact Onset or your place of purchase for details.

What should I do if the logger's internal board gets wet? [show/hide]

If possible, remove the board from the case and the battery from the board. Dry the board completely using a hair dryer. If the board was exposed to salt water, rinse the board with fresh water and then dry the board. You may try inserting a new battery and downloading the data. If you are unable to access the data, or see any sign of corrosion or tarnishing on the board, contact the place of purchase for a return number. The data may be retrievable, and the logger may be repairable. Charges will apply and are dependent on the amount of damage.
