Overview
HOBO MX800 Series wireless data loggers work with interchangeable sensors to provide a highly configurable solution for monitoring water conductivity/salinity, temperature, level, and dissolved oxygen. Available in both an easy-to-deploy, fully submersible model (MX801) and a direct read model (MX802) for convenient data offload that doesn’t require having to remove sensors from the water.
Features
- Compatible with interchangeable Conductivity, CTD (conductivity/temperature/depth), and DO sensors (sold separately) - swap out sensors for different applications
- Bluetooth, for easy logger configuration and data offload
- Easy to deploy, fully submersible (MX801)
- Direct read for convenient data offload (MX802)
- Logger diameter is less than 2 inches
- Faster data offload via Bluetooth 5.0
- Water detect feature indicates when logger was out of the water (MX801)
- Barometric pressure sensor included (MX802)
- Connect two sensors to one logger to get measurements like salinity adjusted DO directly, with no need for post processing
- Guided calibration ensures accurate data
- User-replaceable batteries

| Wireless Data Standard | Bluetooth 5 |
| Maximum Number of Sensors | 2 |
| Maximum Cable Length | 120m (400 ft) |
| Logging Rate | 5 second to 18 hours |
| Logging Modes | Fixed interval (normal or statistics), burst, or multiple intervals with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations, with pause and repeat options |
| Start Modes | Immediate, next interval or date & time |
| Stop Modes | Memory full, never stop (overwrite oldest data), date & time, or after a set logging period |
| Water Detect | Events are logged when logger is submerged or removed from the water (MX801 only) |
| Time Accuracy | ±1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F) |
| Battery | Four AA, 1.5 V lithium batteries, user replaceable |
| Battery Life | With W-CTD or W-CT sensors: 2 years, typical with 1-minute logging interval or slower |
| With W-DO sensor: 1-year, typical with 5-minute logging interval or slower | |
| Faster logging or statistics sampling intervals, entering burst logging mode, excessive readouts, and remaining connected with the app will impact battery life | |
| Memory | 730,000 measurements, divided between channels (4 Mbyte memory) |
| Data Download Time (Bluetooth 5) | Full memory: Approximately 3.5 minutes |
| 120,000 measurements: 1 minute | |
| May take longer the further the device is from the logger | |

| Mounting loop: 12.7 x 22.6 mm (0.5 x 0.89 inches) | |
| Weight | Approximately xx g (xx oz) in air; approximately xx g (xx oz) in saltwater |
| Wetted Materials | Logger: PVC housing with polyester film label, PET sensor connector end cap and mounting handle with EPDM and Buna-N O-rings, passivated 316 stainless steel hardware rated for use in saltwater; MX802 also has ePTFE vent |
| Collar: HDPE, titanium screws | |
| Note: logger should be mounted so that no metal parts of the logger are in contact with other metals | |
| Environmental Rating | MX801: IP68; waterproof to 100m (with sensor(s) attached) |
| MX802: IP67, NEMA 6; Weatherproof (with cable or Termination Plug attached); this model is not waterproof | |
| MX802 Barometric Pressure | |
| Measurement & Calibrated Range | 66 to 107 kPa (9.6 to 15.5 psia), -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F) |
| Accuracy* | Typical error: ±0.2 kPa (0.029 psi) |
| Maximum error: ±0.5 kPa (0.073 psi) | |
| Resolution | <0.01 kPa (0.0015 psi) |
| Pressure Response Time** | <1 second to 90% at a stable temperature |
| Contribution to Water Level Accuracy*** | Typical error: ±0.075% FS, 0.3 cm (0.01 ft) water |
| Maximum error: ±0.15% FS, 0.6 cm (0.02 ft) water | |
| *Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors. | |
| **Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. There can be up to 0.5% of additional error due to rapid temperature changes. | |
| ***Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known for water density, and a stable temperature environment. System Water Level Accuracy equals the sum of the Barometric Water Level Accuracy plus the selected CTD sensor Water Level Accuracy. | |

Monitoring Habitat Suitability and Water Quality in Northwest Arkansas Springs
Northwest Arkansas has seen an economic, industrial, and population boom in recent years as a result of expanding businesses, which have created thousands of jobs in the region and the mass migration of employees and construction companies. However, with this growth has come rapid urbanization and the degradation of the natural landscape, specifically the freshwater springs that can be found throughout the region. These springs are critical habitat centers for native wildlife, home to threatened and endangered fish, and those that have yet to be listed. Zach Moran, Assistant Professor of Fisheries Science at Arkansas Technical University, is working to help monitor these habitats and provide key data that will hopefully inform future development in the region.

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

New Buoy Boosts White Lake’s Water Quality Monitoring and Conservation
White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.
