June 6, 2003—Onset Computer Corporation, a provider of battery-powered data loggers, has introduced the HOBO Pro Series, a family of weatherproof data loggers for measuring and recording indoor and outdoor climate data, which can later be analyzed on a PC.
The HOBO Pro Series address the need among HVAC contractors, facilities and energy managers, and maintenance technicians for a portable monitoring device that can withstand harsh indoor environments as well as condensing outdoor conditions.
A choice of three models is offered, including single-channel temperature, two-channel temperature and RH, and two-channel temperature. An Intrinsically Safe (IS) version of the two-channel temperature and RH logger is also available for monitoring conditions in hazardous locations where combustible gas or dust may be a concern. Each HOBO Pro logger provides +/-0.3C (+/-0.5F) accuracy and +/-3% RH accuracy with 12-bit resolution.
Other key features include:
- Large memory capacity—HOBO Pro Series loggers can store 65,291 8-bit resolution measurements or 32,645 high-resolution measurements.
- Weatherproof enclosure—Rugged enclosure can withstand harsh and/or condensing environments, and is drop-proof to five feet.
- Convenient data offload—Data from HOBO Pro Series loggers can be quickly and easily offloaded using Onset’s pocket-sized HOBO Shuttle or HandCar EX software on a PalmT handheld.
For analyzing HOBO Pro data, Onset offers BoxCar Pro 4.3, a Windows-based software package for graphing and file export.
HOBO Pro Series data loggers are currently available from Onset Computer Corporation, and are priced from $129 – $189. Quantity discounts are available.
