Logger Components and Operation
Mounting Loop: Use this when deploying the logger by tying it
to an object.
Alarm LED: This LED blinks red every 4 seconds when an alarm
is tripped (unless Show LED is disabled as described in
Configuring the Logger). Both this LED and the status LED blink
once when you press the start button to wake up the logger
before configuring it. If you blink the logger LED with the app,
both LEDs illuminate for 4 seconds.
Status LED: This LED blinks green every 4 seconds when the
logger is logging (unless Show LED is disabled as described in
Configuring the Logger). If the logger is waiting to start logging
because it was configured to start On Button Push or with a
delayed start, it blinks green every 8 seconds.
Start Button: Press this button for 1 second to wake up the
logger; both the alarm and status LEDs blink. Once the logger is
awake, press this button for 1 second to move it to the top of
the loggers list in the app. Press this button for 4 seconds to
start or stop the logger when it is configured to start or stop On
Button Push (see Configuring the Logger). Both LEDs blink four
times when you press the button to start or stop logging. Press
this button for 10 seconds to reset a password.
Downloading the App and
Connecting to a Logger
Install the HOBOconnect app to connect to and work with the
logger.
1. Download HOBOconnect to a phone or tablet from the App
Store® or Google Play™.
Download the app to a Windows computer from
www.onsetcomp.com/products/software/hoboconnect.
2. Open the app and enable Bluetooth in the device settings if
prompted.
3. Press the button on the logger to wake it up.
4. Tap Devices and then tap the logger tile in the app to
connect to the logger.
If the logger does not appear or if it is having trouble
connecting, follow these tips.
• Make sure the logger is awake by pressing the start
button. The alarm and status LEDs blink once when the
logger wakes up. You can also press the button a second
time to bring it to the top of the list in the app if you are
working with multiple loggers.
• Make sure the logger is within range of your mobile
device or computer. The range for successful wireless
communication is approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) with full
line-of-sight.
• If your device can connect to the logger intermittently or
loses its connection, move closer to the logger, within
sight if possible.
• If the logger appears in the app, but you cannot connect
to it, close the app and then power down your device to
force the previous Bluetooth connection to close.
Once the logger is connected, you can:
Tap this: To do this:
Specify logger settings and save them to the
logger to start logging. See Configuring the
Logger.
Tap to view live data.
Illuminate the logger LEDs for several seconds
(MX100, MX2200, MX2300, and MX2501).
Lock the logger. Set a password for the logger so
that it is not mistakenly stopped or reconfigured.
Tap the icon, enter a password, and then tap Set.
Once a password is entered on a phone or tablet,
that mobile device is the only one to remember
it. This means you can connect to the logger
without entering a password on that mobile
device, but you must enter a password on all
other mobile devices. For example, if you set the
password for the logger with your tablet and
then try to connect to the device later with your
phone, you must enter the password on the
phone but not with your tablet. Similarly, if
others attempt to connect to the logger with
different devices, they are also required to enter
the password.
To reset a password:
• Press the Start/Stop button for 10 seconds,
or
• Tap Manage Password and then tap Reset.
Manage Password. Reset your existing password
or set a new password for the logger.
Stop logging data (this overrides any Stop
Logging settings described in Configuring the
Logger).
Start logging if the logger was configured to start
with a button push. See Configuring the Logger.
Download logger data. See Downloading Data
From the Logger.
Mark the logger as a favorite. You can then filter
the list of devices to show only loggers marked as
favorites.
Update the firmware on the logger. A logger
readout is completed automatically at the
beginning of the firmware update process.
Important: Before updating the firmware on the
logger, check the remaining battery level and
make sure it is no less than 30%. Make sure you
