In what environment does this data logger operate?
This data logger operates in an outdoor environment.
What measurements does this data logger support?
The MX2303 data logger supports the following measurement: Temperature
Temperature Sensor
Range：
MX2301 and MX2305 internal sensors: -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F)
MX2302 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 (MX2301, MX2302 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：0.05%
Drift：<1% per year typical
