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 |

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
