Start logging.
Press the Start button on the station to start logging. The
station will connect to HOBOlink (“Connection” will blink
on the LCD) and then logging will begin at the logging
interval specified for smart sensors (if applicable) and
wireless sensors.
You can also start logging from HOBOlink. Select
Start/Stop from the Configure menu in HOBOlink and click
Start. Logging will not begin until the next time the station
connects to HOBOlink. Press the Connect button on the
station to connect to HOBOlink at any time.
Once logging begins, “Logging” appears in the upper right
corner of the LCD as shown in the following example.
“Logging” will blink until the first logging sample is
recorded. At that point, it will stop blinking and remain
illuminated until logging is stopped.
Measurements are uploaded to HOBOlink each time the
station connects.
Important:
See
Deploying and Mounting the Station
for
installation steps and other deployment guidelines. If using
the station outdoors or in harsh indoor conditions, you

Important:
If you are using smart sensors only and no
wireless sensors, power down the station and unplug the
manager to preserve battery power.

Setting System and Sensor Alarms
You can set up both system and sensor alarms in HOBOlink.
System alarms can trip for a missed connection, low battery,
smart sensor failure, or missing mote. With a sensor alarm, you
can configure an alarm to trip at one measurement level and
clear at another. In addition, if you are using a rain gauge with
the station, then you can set up an accumulated rain sensor
alarm.
