Logging Interval 

Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-
defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 
second to 18 hours. Refer to the 

HOBOware User’s Guide

 for 

details. 

Launch Modes 

Immediate start and delayed start 

Offload Modes 

Offload while logging; stop and offload 

Battery Indication 

Battery voltage can be viewed in status screen and optionally 
logged in datafile. Low battery indication in datafile. 

Environmental Rating 

IP68 

 

The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all 
relevant directives in the European Union (EU). 

Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, 
accurate Barometric Compensation Assistant data, and a stable temperature environment. 

** 

Raw 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. Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.
