Overview
The HOBO Pro v2 Temperature/External Temperature data logger is a weatherproof data logger with an external soil/water temperature sensor on a 6-foot cable useful for situations where just one temperature probe is required. An internal temperature sensor is also included.
Highlighted Features
Weatherproof housing for use in outdoor or condensing environments
High accuracy
Small-diameter external sensor versions for measurements in tight spaces
Optic USB interface for fast and reliable download
Compatible with HOBOware and HOBOware Pro software for logger setup, graphing and analysis
In what environment does this data logger operate?

What measurements does this data logger support?
The U23-004 data logger supports the following measurement: Temperature
Temperature Sensor
Operation range internal sensors: -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
U23-002 external temperature sensor: -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
U23-003 and U23-004 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: ±0.21°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.38°F from 32° to 122°F); see Plot A
Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C (0.04°F at 77°F); see Plot A
Response Time (typical to 90%)
U23-001 internal sensor: 40 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec
U23-002 external temperature sensor: 5 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec
U23-003 and U23-004 external sensors: 3 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec; 30 seconds in stirred water
Stability (drift): < 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year
Relative Humidity Sensor (U23-001, U23-002 only)
Operation range: 0-100% 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% RH (typical), to a maximum of ±3.5% including hysteresis. See Plot B for full range.
Resolution: 0.03%
Response Time (typical to 90%)
U23-001: 40 minute in air moving 1 m/sec with protective cap
U23-002: 5 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec with protective cap
Stability (drift): < 1% per year typical
Logger
Operation range: -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F)
Real-time clock: ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery: 1/2 AA, 3.6 Volt lithium, user-replaceable (part # HP-B)
Battery life (typical use): 3 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval
Memory (non-volatile): 64K bytes memory (approx. 21,000 temperature and RH measurements)
Materials
All models: ASA styrene polymer housing and mounting clamp; polypropylene protective cap; Buna-N o-ring(s)
