Mounting Loops:
Use the two mounting loops to mount the
logger with the hook-and-loop strapping (see
Mounting the
Logger
).
Occupancy Sensor:
This sensor determines whether the room is
occupied or unoccupied. The UX90-005x model is shown here.
USB Port:
Use this port to connect the logger to the computer
or the HOBO U-Shuttle via USB cable (see
Setting up the Logger
and
Reading Out the Logger
).
LCD Screen:
This logger is equipped with an LCD screen that
displays details about the current status. This example shows all
symbols illuminated on the LCD screen followed by definitions
of each symbol in the following table.
LCD Symbol
Description
The logger is waiting to be launched. Press and
hold the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds to launch
the logger.
The logger has been launched with a push button
stop enabled; press and hold the Start/Stop
button for 3 seconds to stop the logger.
Note
: If
you also launched the logger with a push button
Start, this symbol will not appear on the display
for 5 minutes.
The battery indicator shows the approximate
battery power remaining.
If the logger has been configured to stop logging
when memory fills, the memory bar indicates the
approximate space remaining in the logger to
record data. In this example, the logger memory is
almost full.
If the logger has been configured to never stop
logging (wrapping enabled), then a single block
will blink starting at the left and moving right over
time. Each block represents a segment of memory
where the data is being recorded. In this example,
the middle block is blinking.

The room is unoccupied.
The light is on.
The light is off.
The logger is currently logging.
The logger can be calibrated. See
Calibrating the
Light Sensor
for more details.
This shows the signal strength of the light being
monitored. In this example, the signal strength is
at full scale. See

LCD Symbol
Description
Time display when logger is logging:
This shows the total amount of time the room has
been occupied or the light has been on since
logging began, ranging from seconds to days. This
example indicates the room has been occupied or
the light has been on for a total of 5 minutes and
38 seconds. The logger must be launched with the
LCD set to show “Time” for this symbol to display.
Time display when logger is stopped:
This indicates the logger has been configured to
start logging on a particular date/time. The display
will count down to the start date/time until
logging begins. In this example, 5 minutes and 38
seconds remain until logging will begin.
This shows the percentage of time the room has
been occupied or the light has been on since
logging began. This example indicates the room
has been occupied or the light has been on for a
total of 24% of the time since logging began. The
logger must be launched with the LCD set to show
“%” for this symbol to display.
The logger has been stopped.
Notes:
•
You can disable the LCD screen when logging. Select “Turn
LCD Off” when setting up the logger as described in the
next section. When this option is enabled, you can still
temporarily view the LCD screen by pushing the Start/Stop
button or Calibration button for 1 second. The LCD will
then remain on for 10 minutes.
•
When the logger has stopped logging, the LCD screen will
remain on until the logger is offloaded to a computer or
HOBO U-Shuttle (unless launched with the “Turn LCD Off”
option). Once the logger has been offloaded and
disconnected from the computer, the LCD will turn off
automatically after 2 hours. The LCD will turn back on the
next time the logger is connected to the computer.
•
If the logger is recording both occupancy and light, the
LCD screen will cycle between both channels every 10
seconds.
•
To save battery life when the occupancy channel is
enabled, the LCD will shut down if no motion is detected.
Upon entering the detection zone of the sensor, the LCD
will turn back on within 1 second of detection.
Setting up the Logger
