HOBO MX801-DO Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Water Data Logger Kit

The HOBO MX801-DO is a complete, ready-to-deploy water monitoring kit that includes a fully submersible, Bluetooth-enabled MX801 data logger and a W-DO Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature sensor. Designed for environmental research, watershed monitoring, aquaculture, and water quality compliance applications, this kit provides accurate dissolved oxygen and temperature measurements in a single compact, easy-to-deploy package. Setup and data offload are handled wirelessly via Bluetooth using the free HOBOconnect app on a compatible mobile device or Windows computer — no cables required to retrieve your data. The IP68-rated logger housing is waterproof to 100 meters (with sensor attached) and features passivated 316 stainless steel hardware rated for use in saltwater environments. Four user-replaceable AA lithium batteries provide up to 1 year of typical battery life with a 5-minute logging interval. Memory supports up to 730,000 measurements with flexible logging modes including fixed interval, burst, and up to 8 user-defined logging intervals. Assembly required. The free HOBOconnect app and a compatible mobile device or Windows computer are required for operation.

Customer Questions
What is the difference between the MX801 and MX802?
The MX801 is fully submersible (IP68, waterproof to 100m with sensor attached) and is deployed directly in the water along with the sensor. The MX802 is designed to remain above the water surface while the sensor is deployed underwater via a cable, allowing...
How is data downloaded from the logger?
Data is downloaded wirelessly via Bluetooth using the HOBOconnect app on a compatible mobile device or Windows computer. For the MX801, the logger must be retrieved from the water to be within Bluetooth range. For the MX802, data can be offloaded without...
How much data can the logger store?
The logger stores up to 730,000 measurements across all active channels (4 MB memory). The number of measurements per channel depends on how many sensors and parameters are being recorded simultaneously.
What logging modes are available?
The logger supports fixed interval logging (normal or statistics), burst logging, and multiple interval logging with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations with pause capability — providing flexibility for a wide range of monitoring applications...
What type of batteries does the logger use and how long do they last?
The logger uses four AA 1.5V lithium batteries, which are user-replaceable in the field. With W-CT or W-CTD sensors at a 1-minute logging interval, battery life is typically 2 years. With the W-DO sensor at a 5-minute logging interval, battery life is...
Are these loggers rated for use in saltwater?
Yes. The logger housing is constructed from PVC with passivated 316 stainless steel hardware, and all wetted materials are rated for use in saltwater environments. The CTD and CT sensors also use passivated 316 stainless steel housings with Viton and...
What is the water depth rating for the MX801?
The MX801 is rated IP68 and waterproof to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) when a sensor or termination plug is properly attached. The logger is not waterproof if deployed without a sensor attached.
What parameters does the W-DO sensor measure?
The W-DO sensor measures dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature. It is designed for environmental monitoring, watershed research, aquaculture, and water quality compliance applications.
How does battery life differ with the dissolved oxygen sensor compared to conductivity sensors?
The W-DO sensor consumes more power than the W-CT and W-CTD sensors. Typical battery life with the W-DO sensor is approximately 1 year at a 5-minute logging interval, compared to approximately 2 years for the W-CT and W-CTD sensors at a 1-minute interval...
Do the kit versions require assembly?
Yes. The MX801-DO, MX801-CT, and MX801-CTD kits all require assembly — the sensor must be attached to the logger before deployment. Detailed assembly instructions are included, and the HOBOconnect app guides you through setup and calibration.
Is there a guard available to protect the sensors from biofouling?
Yes. An optional copper antifouling guard (W-GUARD-1) is available and is designed to slow biofouling growth on the conductivity sensor, extending the time between cleaning intervals while maintaining good water flow to the sensor. It is easy to install...
