Deploy Easily Above Water and Soil for Convenient Data Downloads

A waterproof data logger with both an internal sensor and an external sensor that’s designed for monitoring fast-changing temperatures; can be deployed just above water or soil, for the most convenient wireless data download to your mobile device or laptop.

The HOBO TidbiT MX2205 is ideal for monitoring shallow waters, like streams and wetlands, or for monitoring soil in fields that are prone to flooding. Equipped with both an internal sensor to monitor ambient temperature and an external sensor on a 2m cable to accurately monitor fast-changing temperatures, the HOBO TidbiT MX2205 is a low-cost, easy-to-use, waterproof logger that leverages the power of Bluetooth to deliver high-accuracy data straight to your mobile device or Windows laptop running Onset's free HOBOconnect app. This rugged logger withstands harsh environments, and can be deployed just above water or soil for quicker, more convenient data downloads that don’t require pulling up the logger.


Features

  • Fast temperature-response time (20 seconds)
  • ±0.2°C (±0.36°F) accuracy
  • 3-year battery life (Bluetooth on); 5-year battery life (Bluetooth off)
  • Two mounting tabs for use with screws or zip ties ensure secure deployment
  • Works with Onset’s free HOBOconnect app
  • External temperature sensor, plus internal sensor for ambient temp monitoring
  • Large memory stores 96,000 measurements
  • LED indicates when temperature exceeds set threshold
  • Convenient wireless setup and download via Bluetooth


Important

The HOBO MX2205 data logger requires the HOBOconnect App and a compatible mobile device. The system requirements for the HOBOconnect app can be found at the bottom of our HOBOconnect software page.
