HOBO TidbiT MX Temp loggers measure temperature in streams, lakes, oceans, coastal
habitats, and soil environments. Housed in a protective boot, these rugged loggers are
designed for extended deployments in fresh or salt water at depths up to 400 ft (MX2203) or
5,000 ft (MX2204). The loggers use Bluetooth® Low Energy for wireless communication with a
mobile device and are equipped with an optional water detection feature that automatically
turns Bluetooth advertising off when the logger is submerged in water, thereby preserving
battery power. Using the HOBOconnect™ app, you can easily configure the loggers, download
logged data to your phone or tablet, or automatically upload the data to HOBOlink® for further
analysis. You can also configure the loggers to calculate statistics, set up alarms to trip at
specific thresholds, or enable burst logging in which data is logged at a faster interval when
sensor readings are above or below certain limits.

Water conductivity level of 100 µS/cm or greater necessary for reliable
detection of water. Deionized water or water below 100 µS/cm may
not be detected.
The water conductivity circuit may not reliably detect water that has
frozen around the electrodes, i.e. below 0°C (32°F).

Faster logging intervals and statistics sampling intervals, burst logging,
remaining connected with the app, excessive downloads, and paging
may impact battery life.
To ensure proper battery installation, see Battery Information for
