HOBO® MX CO

 Logger (MX1102A) Manual 

22504-F 

The HOBO MX CO

data logger records carbon dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity (RH) 

data in indoor environments using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) self-calibrating CO

 sensor 

technology and integrated temperature and RH sensors. This Bluetooth® Low Energy-enabled 
logger is designed for wireless communication and also supports a USB connection. Using the 
HOBOconnect® app on your phone, tablet, or computer, or HOBOware® software on your 
computer, you can easily configure the logger, read it out, and view plotted data. The logger can 
calculate minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics and can be configured to 
trip audible or visual alarms at thresholds you specify. In addition, it supports burst logging in 
which data is logged at a different interval when sensor readings are above or below certain 
limits. This logger also has a built-in LCD screen to display the current CO

logging status, battery use, memory consumption, and more.
