Overview
HOBO MX800 Series multiparameter wireless data loggers work with interchangeable sensors to provide a highly configurable solution for monitoring water conductivity/salinity, temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen. Available in both an easy-to-deploy, fully submersible model (MX801) and a direct read model (MX802) for convenient data offload that doesn’t require having to remove sensors from the water.
Features
- Compatible with interchangeable Conductivity, CTD (conductivity/temperature/depth), and DO sensors (sold separately) - swap out sensors for different applications
- Bluetooth, for easy logger configuration and data offload
- Easy to deploy, fully submersible (MX801)
- Direct read for convenient data offload (MX802)
- Logger diameter is less than 2 inches
- Faster data offload via Bluetooth 5.0
- Water detect feature indicates when logger was out of the water (MX801)
- Barometric pressure sensor included (MX802)
- Connect two sensors to one logger to get measurements like salinity adjusted DO directly, with no need for post-processing
- Guided calibration ensures accurate data
- User-replaceable batteries

Logger: PVC housing with polyester film label, PET sensor connector end cap and mounting handle with EPDM and Buna-N O-rings, passivated 316 stainless steel hardware rated for use in saltwater; MX802 also has ePTFE ventCollar: HDPE, titanium screwsNote: logger should be mounted so that no metal parts of the logger are in contact with other metals
-
MX801: IP68; waterproof to 100m (with sensor(s) attached)MX802: IP67, NEMA 6; Weatherproof (with cable or Termination Plug attached); this model is not waterproof
* Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
** Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. There can be up to 0.5% of additional error due to rapid temperature changes.
***Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, and a stable temperature environment. System Water Level Accuracy equals the sum of the Barometric Water Level Accuracy plus the selected CTD sensor Water Level Accuracy.
