Logger power failure and data loss

The data is stored on non-volatile EEPROM. For data loggers with external batteries: change batteries and offload data, then relaunch normally. For data loggers with internal batteries: as long as the EEPROM has not been damaged, the data can be retrieved by Onset. Please contact the place of purchase for a return authorization number and request data back service.

How often do temperature data loggers need recalibration and/or servicing?

All sensors drift over time and they can be tested in a controlled environment to make sure that they are running within the specifications outlined in the User's Manual. You can use methods such as a simple ice bath or an environmental chamber to verify your device is operating correctly.

Creating a voltage divider

A voltage divider will drop the voltage of the input signal to the level the data logger can measure.

Boosting mV outputs to 0-2.5 DC outputs for use with HOBO stand-alone data loggers

Simple non-inverting op-amp amplifier circuit - how to boost mV to 0-2.5V DC.

Data logger is shutting off prematurely

A discharge of static electricity may cause a running data logger to stop recording. Precautions should be taken to prevent this while handling the data logger. Discharges may occur when there is a charge difference between the data logger and a cable being connected to it or when a person touches an exposed jack.

Connecting a 4-20mA to an external input

The 4-20mA cable (CABLE-4-20mA) measures currents from 0 to 20.1mA. The cable must be connected such that the current flows through, and with the proper polarity, as shown in the diagram. (Do not expose to current above 20mA or negative current.) Do not cut off the end of the gray cable where it connects to the blue and yellow wires, as this contains the precision resistor required for current measurements.

Verifying RH accuracy on HOBO data loggers

Testing the accuracy of relative humidity sensors requires carefully-controlled conditions and a considerable amount of time. Please see the white paper Testing the Accuracy of Sensirion Relative Humidity Sensors in HOBO Data Loggers for complete details on the recommended procedure to follow.

U12 input impedance

This note looks at input impedance characteristics of the HOBO U12 loggers with external inputs. "Rs" and "VA" in the attached diagram represent your source impedance.
