Overview of the HOBO™ MX801-CTD Conductivity Temperature and Water Level Data Logger
The MX801-CTD is an advanced, highly versatile, modular submersible data logger with an integrated Conductivity/Salinity and Water Level Sensor for measuring water temperature, conductivity and water level. MX801-CTD is available in 4 different water levels (0 to 30 ft, 0 to 100 ft, 0 to 250 ft and 0 to 13 ft). The MX801-CTD data logger is configured and offloaded wirelessly via a Bluetooth connection using the HOBOconnect mobile app.
The data logger is powered by four AA user replaceable batteries which provide anywhere from 1-2 years of logging depending on the sensors and configuration settings used. The internal memory can store a total of 730k readings providing long recording periods in between offloads.
