Description
The HOBO Energy Logger is a modular, re-configurable data logging system for energy and industrial monitoring applications.
The 15-channel system enables energy and facility management professionals to quickly and easily solve a broad range of monitoring applications without having to purchase a toolbox full of loggers.
Innovative, snap-in FlexSmart™ signal conditioning modules convert signals from nearly any type of sensor. A suite of pre-defined plug-and-play smart sensors and powerful HOBOware® software make set-up and deployment fast and easy. You can also expand your system capabilities with Ethernet or remote data access communications.
Please contact us for more detail on available sensors and their pricing. Sensors available include: kWh,kW, TRMS Amps and Volts, Relative Humidity,Temperature, Differential Pressure, Gauge Pressure, DC Amps/Volts, Pulse Input, CO2, Wind, Light Intensity, Rain, Barometric Pressure.
IMPORTANT: HoboWare software and a serial cable is required to configure the units and download the data. Please purchase via the "Recommendations Products" area below. Examples of some of the compatible sensors can also be found below.

Battery type
Eight standard AA alkaline batteries included (for operating conditions -20°C to 50°C);
optional AA lithium batteries available for operating conditions of -40° to 60°C -
External power:
Supports optional 13.6 V DC regulated AC Wall Adapter Connector.
Internal batteries may remain installed. Alternatively, an automotive battery or 9-12 V DC regulated Wall Adapter may be used, but it is recommended to remove the internal batteries since they will discharge to the level of the external supply. - Time accuracy: 0 to 2 seconds for the first data point and ±5 seconds per week at 25°C
