Industry's First BlueTooth (BLE) Water Level Logger

The HOBO® MX2001 is the industry’s first water level data logger designed for convenient wireless setup and download from mobile devices via Bluetooth Low Energy. The logger dramatically simplifies and lowers the cost of field data collection by providing wireless access to high-accuracy water level and temperature measurements right from a mobile phone or tablet. The MX2001 logger consists of a top-end unit and a water level sensor which are sold as a set, plus a direct read cable to connect them. Cables can be ordered in lengths from 0.2 to 500m for deployment in a wide range of wells.


Improve accuracy of water research and studies

The HOBO MX water level logger monitors changing water levels in a wide range of applications, including streams, lakes, wetlands, tidal areas, and groundwater. This Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE)-enabled logger is designed for wireless communication with a phone, tablet, or computer. Using the HOBOconnect® app, you can easily
configure the logger and download its data—all from its deployed location—to your mobile device or computer where you can view the logged data or export it for further analysis. With the HOBOconnect app, you can also set a reference water level and water density, configure up to 8 logging intervals, log statistics, configure an alarm to trip at thresholds you specify, or set up burst logging in which data is logged at a different interval when sensor readings are above or below certain limits. This logger features a ceramic pressure sensor, durable housing, and an integrated barometric pressure sensor for barometric compensation in the logger, which allows for direct water level readout without needing to do any post processing. An optional cap is also available for deployment in existing wells or stilling wells. Without cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain and convenient data retrieval, this easy-to-use logger is an ideal solution for water level studies and research.


Highlighted Features

  • Wireless data offload to mobile devices using Bluetooth Low Energy
  • Integrated barometric pressure sensor enables direct water level readout
  • Direct read cable connects sensor to top-end logger/transmitter
    • The cable includes Kevlar strength member
    • Cables are interchangeable so loggers are easy to redeploy in future applications
    • The logger and sensor add 0.39 meters to the length of the cable
    • Cable length can vary up to 3% from the length ordered
    • The 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 meter cable lengths are in stock; custom cable lengths have an 8 to 10 week lead time
  • Reference water level can be entered at the start of the deployment
  • Use HOBOconnect for setup, data viewing and data sharing 
  • Powered by two user-replaceable AA batteries in the top-end unit
  • Several logging modes: normal, multi-rate logging and event-triggered burst-logging
  • Durable ceramic sensor
  • Available with stainless steel or titanium sensor ends
  • 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included for the water pressure sensor

* Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, and a stable temperature environment. System Water Level Accuracy equals the sum of the Barometric Water Level Accuracy plus the selected sensor end Water Level Accuracy.
** Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
*** Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. There can be up to 0.5% of additional error due to rapid temperature changes. Measurement accuracy also depends on temperature response time.
