In

 

some

 

applications

 

(such

 

as

 

a

 

refrigerator,

 

freezer,

 

clean

 

room)

 

it

 

may

 

be

 

more

 

convenient

 

to

 

permanently

 

mount

 

an

 

external

 

sensor

 

at

 

the

 

site.

 

Be

 

sure

 

to

 

place

 

the

 

remote

 

sensor

 

in

 

a

 

location

 

that

 

is

 

representative

 

of

 

the

 

target

 

measurement

 

location

 

and

 

allows

 

free

 

flow

 

of

 

air

 

(beware

 

of

 

any

 

drafts

 

caused

 

by

 

vents,

 

doors,

 

etc).

  

If

 

you

 

permanently

 

mount

 

the

 

sensor

 

and

 

later

 

have

 

to

 

disconnect

 

it

 

from

 

the

 

logger

 

for

 

readout,

 

select

 

Delayed

 

Launch

 

when

 

you

 

relaunch

 

the

 

logger

 

to

 

allow

 

time

 

to

 

reconnect

 

the

 

sensor

 

before

 

the

 

actual

 

launch

 

time.

 

13.

 

Read

 

out

 

the

 

HOBO

 

U14

 

as

 

described

 

in

 

the

 

next

 

section.

 

When

 

the

 

memory

 

is

 

full,

 

or

 

anytime

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

view

 

the

 

data,

 

read

 

out

 

the

 

HOBO

 

U14

 

using
