HOBO® MX Analog/Temp/RH/Light (MX1104) and  
MX 4-Channel Analog (MX1105) Data Logger Manual 

23968-H 

The HOBO MX Analog/Temp/RH/Light (MX1104) and HOBO MX 4-Channel Analog (MX1105) 
data loggers measure and transmit data wirelessly from indoor environments to a mobile 
device or computer using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) technology. The MX1104 model has 
integrated temperature, relative humidity (RH), and light intensity sensors and one analog input 
while the MX1105 model has four analog inputs. Both models support a wide variety of 
external sensors (sold separately), including self-describing temperature, split-core AC current 
transformer, 4-20 mA input, and DC voltage input sensors. The self-describing sensors are 
designed with integrated strain relief for a secure connection to the loggers and are 
automatically detected by the HOBOconnect® app for easy setup. Using the app, you can 
configure the loggers, read out and view data, and export the data for further analysis. The 
loggers can calculate minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics and can 
also be configured to trip audible or visual alarms at thresholds you specify. In addition, both 
loggers support burst logging in which data is logged at a different interval when sensor 
readings are above or below certain limits. These compact loggers also have built-in LCD 
screens to display current sensor readings, logging status, battery use, memory consumption, 
and more.
