The

MX2300

 

series

 

data

 

loggers

 

record

 

and

 

transmit

 

temperature

 

and/or

 

relative

 

humidity

 

(RH)

 

in

 

outdoor

 

or

 

indoor

 

environments.

 

These

 

Bluetooth®

 

Low

 

Energy

enabled

 

loggers

 

are

 

designed

 

for

 

wireless

 

communication

 

with

 

a

 

mobile

 

device.

 

Using

 

the

 

HOBOmobile®

 

or

 

HOBOconnect®

 

app,

 

you

 

can

 

easily

 

configure

 

the

 

logger,

 

read

 

it

 

out,

 

and

 

view

 

data

 

on

 

your

 

phone

 

or

 

tablet,

 

or

 

export

 

the

 

data

 

for

 

further

 

analysis.

 

The

 

logger

 

can

 

calculate

 

minimum,

 

maximum,

 

average,

 

and

 

standard

 

deviation

 

statistics

 

and

 

be

 

configured

 

to

 

indicate

 

alarms

 

at

 

thresholds

 

you

 

specify.

 

The

 

logger

 

also

 

supports

 

burst

 

logging

 

in

 

which

 

data

 

is

 

logged

 

at

 

a

 

faster

 

interval

 

when

 

sensor

 

readings

 

are

 

above

 

or

 

below

 

certain

 

limits.

 

The

 

Temp

 

and

 

Temp/RH

 

models

 

have

 

internal

 

sensors

 

while

 

the

 

External

 

Temp/RH,

 

External

 

Temp,

 

and

 

2x

 

External

 

Temp

 

include

 

built

in

 

external

 

sensors,

 

offering

 

a

 

wide

 

range

 

of

 

solutions

 

for

 

monitoring

 

temperature

 

and

 

RH

 

in

 

numerous

 

applications.
