Quick Start for the HOBO® MX Water Level Logger (MX2001)
19388-M MAN-QSG-MX2001
Before you begin:
After completing steps 1–4, we recommend that you perform a trial run of steps 5 through 11 before deploying the
logger.
IMPORTANT:
When assembling the logger or attaching the cable, make sure the O-rings and mating housing surfaces are clear of any
debris. Any contamination of these surfaces can cause leaks that will lead to logger failure.

Install the batteries in the top end. Unscrew the end cap and pull out the board. Apply a small amount of the fresh dielectric
grease (included) to the battery terminals. Insert the included two AA batteries observing polarity as shown on the board.
Reinsert the board. Screw the cap back on until hand tight.
