Thank you for purchasing a HOBO data logger. With proper care, it 
will give you years of accurate and reliable measurements. 

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.  

A base station, coupler, and HOBOware

®

 software are required for 

logger operation. Visit www.onsetcomp.com for compatibility 
information. 

 
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

 

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.
