HOBO 4-Channel Pulse Data Logger
HOBO data loggers require HOBOware software and a USB cable. (Note: A USB cable is included w/HOBOware Pro CD or USB software purchase). See compatible items below.
Overview
The HOBO UX120 Pulse Data Logger is a highly versatile, 4-channel energy data logger that combines the functionality of four separate data loggers into one compact unit. It enables energy management professionals – from energy auditors to building commissioners – to easily track building energy consumption, equipment runtimes, and water and gas flow rates. The HOBO UX120 Pulse Data Logger is available in a standard memory model (UX120-017) capable of 500,000 measurements and an expanded memory version (UX120-017M) capable of over 4,000,000 measurements.
- Simultaneously measures and records pulse signals, events, state changes, and runtimes
- Stores up to over 4 million measurements, enabling longer deployments with fewer site visits
- Maximum pulse rate – 120 Hz
- Pulse input range – 0 to 24VDC
- Streamlines deployment via a range of start/stop options, logger status LEDs, and high-speed USB 2.0 data offload
- Works with Onset's Energy & Power Meter to measure Power Factor (PF), Reactive Power (VAR), Watt Hours (Wh) and more. Learn how.
The T-VER-E50B2 Energy and Power Meter outputs (3) sets of pulses that are logged by the UX120-017. These pulses represent Watt-hours, Amp-hours, and VAR-hours. HOBOware software uses these pulse values to calculate AC Current, AC Voltage, kW, Power Factor, VARs, and VA. The formulas used in these calculations can be found here: 14993-A-Derived-Channels.zip
- Compatible with HOBOware and HOBOware Pro software for logger setup, graphing, and analysis

This UL-listed sensor has built-in on/off status lights and provides an adjustable current threshold of 0.5 to 175 amps. Simply install the sensor around a current-carrying wire to the equipment to be monitored and then connect the sensor to a compatible UX90 or UX120 data logger.
Build better energy efficiency and power management with the E50B2 Power & Energy Meter. This cost-effective sensor is simple to deploy and can either be installed on standard DIN rail or be surface mounted. The E50B2 integrates with HOBO UX, U30, ZW, H22, and H21 data loggers.
The WattNode provides accurate measurement at low cost to meet your needs for sub-metering, net-metering, energy management, and performance contracting applications. This WattNode Delta-connection kWh Transducer works with Magnelab AC Current Transformers and a Pulse Input Adapter to provide True RMS kilowatt hours of energy used, even for loads with non-sinusoidal waveforms. Because these sensors tie directly into the line, they should be used only by qualified personnel. This model supports a 3-phase Delta-connection of 208/240 VAC.
The HOBO State/Pulse/Event/Runtime data logger records state changes,electronic pulses and mechanical or electrical contact closures from external sensing devices. This data logger is ideal for monitoring energy consumption, mechanical equipment operation, and water and gas flow. The HOBO UX90-001 State Data Logger is available in a standard 128 KB memory model (UX90-001) capable of 84,650 measurements and an expanded 512KB memory version (UX90-001M) capable of over 346,795 measurements.
