HOBO® Pendant® MX Temp (MX2201) and  
Temp/Light (MX2202) Logger Manual 

21536-A 

HOBO Pendant MX loggers measure temperature (MX2201) or temperature/light (MX2202) in 
indoor and outdoor environments. Designed for durability, these compact, waterproof loggers 
can be used in numerous applications, including fresh and salt water. The loggers are 
Bluetooth® Low Energy-enabled for wireless communication with a mobile device. Using the 
HOBOmobile® app, you can easily configure the loggers, download logged data to your phone 
or tablet, or automatically upload the data to HOBOlink® for further analysis. You can also 
configure the loggers to calculate statistics, set up alarms to trip at specific thresholds, or 
enable burst logging in which data is logged at a faster interval when sensor readings are above 
or below certain limits.
