Thank you for purchasing a HOBO data logger. With proper care, it will give you years of accurate and reliable measurements.
The HOBO U12 Temperature/Relative Humidity/Light/External Data Logger is a four-channel logger with 12-bit resolution and can record up to
43,000 measurements or events. The external channel accepts a variety of sensors, including temperature, and split-core AC current sensors as well
as 4-20 mA and voltage input cables (sold separately). The logger uses a direct USB interface for launching and data readout by a computer.
An Onset software starter kit is required for logger operation. Visit www.onsetcomp.com for compatible software.
Inside this package:
• HOBO U12 Temp/RH/
Light/External Data Logger
• Mounting kit with magnet, hook and loop tape, tie-wrap mount, tie wrap, and two screws.
