HOBO® MX2300 Series Data Logger Manual 

20923-O 

The HOBO MX2300 series data loggers record and transmit temperature and/or relative 
humidity (RH) in outdoor or indoor environments. These Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE)-enabled 
loggers are designed for wireless communication with a phone, tablet, or computer. Using the 
HOBOconnect® app, you can easily configure the logger and then download logged data to view 
or export for further analysis. The logger can calculate minimum, maximum, average, and 
standard deviation statistics and be configured to indicate alarms at thresholds you specify. The 
logger also supports burst logging in which data is logged at a faster interval when sensor 
readings are above or below certain limits. The Temp and Temp/RH models have internal 
sensors while the External Temp/RH, External Temp, and 2x External Temp include built-in 
external sensors, offering a wide range of solutions for monitoring temperature and RH in 
numerous applications. 

Specifications 

Temperature Sensor 

 

Range 

MX2301A and MX2305 internal sensors: -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F) 
MX2302A external temperature sensor: -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F) 
MX2303 and MX2304 external sensors: -40 to 100°C (-40 to 212°F), with 
tip and cable immersion in fresh water up to 50°C (122°F) for one year 

Accuracy 

±0.25°C from -40 to 0°C (±0.45 from -40 to 32°F) 
±0.2°C from 0 to 70°C (±0.36 from 32 to 158°F) 
±0.25°C from 70 to 100°C (±0.45 from 158 to 212°F), MX2303 and 
MX2304 only 

Resolution 

MX2301A and MX2302A: 0.02°C (0.036°F) 
MX2303, MX2304, and MX2305: 0.04°C (0.072°F) 

Drift 

<0.01°C (0.018°F) per year 

Relative Humidity Sensor* (MX2301A, MX2302A only)

 

Range 

0 to 100% RH, -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F); exposure to conditions 
below -20°C (-4°F) or above 95% RH may temporarily increase the 
maximum RH sensor error by an additional 1% 

Accuracy 

±2.5% from 10% to 90% (typical) to a maximum of ±3.5% including 
hysteresis at 25°C (77°F); below 10% RH and above 90% RH ±5% typical 

Resolution 

0.01% 

Drift 

<1% per year typical
