Overview
The Onset HOBO MX1102 CO2 logger makes it more convenient than ever to measure and record CO2 in buildings and other non-condensing environments. It measures CO2 from 0–5,000 parts per million (ppm). The free HOBOconnect app allows users to access data right from a mobile phone or tablet within a 100-foot range. Remotely access data in Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink software with the new MX Gateway.
Mechanics
The MX1102 also features a USB port, so it can be used with a computer running HOBOware Pro graphing and analysis software.

RH Sensor | |
Range |
1% to 90% RH (non-condensing) |
Accuracy | ±2% from 20% to 80% typical to a maximum of ±4.5% including hysteresis at 25°C (77°F); below 20% and above 80% ±6% typical |
Resolution | 0.01% |
Drift | <1% per year typical |
CO2 Sensor | |
Range | 0 to 5,000 ppm |
Accuracy |
±50 ppm ±5% of reading at 25°C (77°F), less than 90% RH non-condensing and 1,013 mbar |
Warm-up Time | 15 seconds |
Calibration | Auto or manual to 400 ppm |
Non-linearity | <1% of FS |
Pressure Dependence | 0.13% of reading per mm Hg (corrected via user input for elevation/altitude) |
Operating Pressure Range | 950 to 1,050 mbar (use Altitude Compensation for outside of this range) |
Compensated Pressure Range | -305 to 5,486 m (-1,000 to 18,000 ft) |
Sensing Method | Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption |
Response Time | |
Temperature | 12 minutes to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
RH | 1 minute to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
CO2 | 1 minute to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
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 | 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F); 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing) |
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 at 25°C (77°F) |
Power Source | 4 AA 1.5 Volt batteries (user replaceable) or USB power source (5 V DC, 2 Watts) |
Battery Life | 6 months, typical with logging and sampling intervals of 5 minutes or slower; 6 months or less with logging and sampling intervals faster than 5 minutes while logging CO2. Entering burst logging mode will impact battery life. With app use, battery life can be reduced by remaining connected, excessive readouts, audible alarms, and paging. Visual/audible alarms and other events can have a marginal impact on battery life. |
Memory | 128 KB (84,650 measurements, maximum) |
Download Type | USB 2.0 interface or via Bluetooth Smart |
Full Memory Download Time | 20 seconds via USB; approximately 60 seconds via Bluetooth Smart, may take longer the further the device is from the logger |
LCD | LCD is visible from 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F); the LCD may react slowly or go blank in temperatures outside this range |

Sustainable Fishing in Alaska: Protecting the Salmon Capital of the World through Research
In the far north, the Alaska Peninsula stretches away from the Last Frontier into the Pacific Ocean. A narrow strip of land dotted with freshwater lakes and intruded upon by ocean inlets–this unique region is intimately connected with the surrounding water. 
 
Nestled halfway down the peninsula's southern coast are the small villages of Chignik. The area has historically been home to the Aleut people and has been heavily reliant on fishing for centuries. 
 
Home to commercial and subsistence fishing today, Chignik continues to rely upon the salmon returns to the surrounding villages, which are supported by scientists working tirelessly to understand and steward these fish populations.

Extreme environments meet extreme design with the NexSens X3 Data Logger . The new logger offers the latest in real-time monitoring technology with wireless communication, a large plug-and-play sensor library and ultra-low power consumption, all in a waterproof marine-grade housing. 
 
 The X3 is built to handle harsh weather, floods, high winds and rough seas, and it stands alone; no additional protective housing needed. With an operating temperature that ranges from -40°C to 70°C, the logger can withstand arctic environments and extreme heat. 
 
 
 
 A conformal coating on the internal circuit board isolates it from moisture and humidity.

When Kentucky’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) has to act quickly in response to chemical and oil spills in the Commonwealth, they rely on small, easily deployable buoys to collect critical data that help minimize and evaluate damages in environmental emergencies. 
 
With a background in geology, Robert Blair primarily worked with groundwater and got involved sporadically with the ERT during groundwater contamination emergencies. Over time, this involvement led to him joining the ERT as an On-Scene Coordinator and then becoming the branch manager for the team and overall Emergency Response Branch .
