HOBO® Pendant® Event Data Logger (UA-003-64) Manual 

9831-I MAN-UA-003 

The HOBO Pendant Event/Temp Data Logger is a rugged, weatherproof event logger with a 10-
bit temperature sensor. It is ideal for use with tipping-bucket rain gauges, and can record tens 
of thousands of measurements and events. The logger uses a coupler and optical base station 
with USB interface for launching and data readout by a computer. 

Specifications 

External Event Input 

 

Event Sensor 

Two-wire interface suitable for measuring mechanical and electrical contact 
closures 

Maximum Input 
Frequency 

1 Hz (1 pulse per second) 

Lockout Time 

500 ms 

Minimum Pulse Width 

1 ms (hardware debounce) 

Input/Output Impedance 

100 k

Ω

 

Edge Detection 

Falling edge, contact closure, or Schmitt-trigger buffer 

Preferred Switch Type 

Normally open. For maximum battery life, the event input should be used 
with its preferred switch type. The logger will work with normally closed 
switches, but battery life will be compromised. 

Open Circuit Input 
Voltage 

Battery voltage; nominally 3.0 V 

Maximum Input Voltage 

Battery v 0.3 V 

User Connection 

24 AWG, 2 leads: white (+), black (-) 

Temperature Measurement 

 

Measurement Range 

-20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) 

Accuracy 

±0.53°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.95°F from 32° to 122°F), see Plot A. A solar

Drift 

Less than 0.1°C/year (0.2°F/year) 

Response Time 

Airflow of 2 m/s (4.4 mph): 10 minutes, typical to 90% 

Logger 

 

Time Accuracy 

±1 minute per month at 25°C (77°F), see Plot B 

Operating Range 

-20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) 

Environmental Rating 

Tested to NEMA 6 and IP67; suitable for deployment outdoors 

Drop Specification 

1.5 m (5 ft) onto concrete 

NIST Traceable 
Certification 

Available for temperature only at additional charge; temperature range  
-20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) 

Battery 

CR-2032 3V lithium battery; 1 year typical use 

Memory 

64K bytes; see 

Data Storage

Materials 

Polypropylene case; stainless steel screws; Buna-N o-ring; PVC cable 
insulation
