In what environment does this data logger operate?
This data logger operates in an outdoor environment.
What measurements does this data logger support?
The MX2301A data logger supports the following measurements: Relative Humidity and Temperature
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: 0.04°C (0.072°F)
Drift : <0.01°C (0.018°F) per year
RH 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
Memory: 128 KB (63,488 measurements, maximum)
Response Time: Temperature (typical, to 90% of change) : internal sensor
Without Solar Radiation Shield: 17 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec
With RS1/M-RSA Solar Radiation Shield； 24 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec
With RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield ： N/A
Response Time: RH (typical, to 90% of change)： internal sensor
Without Solar Radiation Shield： 30 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec
With RS1/M-RSA Solar Radiation Shield： 40 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec
With RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield ： N/A
Logger
Radio Power ： 1 mW (0 dBm)
Transmission Range： Approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) line-of-sight
Wireless Data Standard： Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth 4.0)
Logger Operating Range： -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
Logging Rate ： 1 second to 18 hours
Logging Modes： Fixed interval (normal, statistics) or burst
Memory Modes： Wrap when full or stop when full
Start Modes： Immediate, push button, date & time, or next interval
Stop Modes： When memory full, push button, date & time, or after a set logging period
Time Accuracy： ±1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery Type： 2/3 AA 3.6 Volt lithium, user replaceable
Battery Life： 2 years, typical with logging interval of 1 minute and Power Saving Mode disabled; 5 years, typical with logging interval of 1 minute and Power Saving Mode enabled. Faster logging intervals and statistics sampling intervals, burst logging, remaining connected with the app, excessive downloads, and paging may impact battery life.
