Using the Sensor with the HOBO MX Analog/Temp/RH/Light (MX1104) or
HOBO MX 4-Channel Analog (MX1105) Data Logger
1. Insert the plug into an analog sensor port on the logger. Turn the sensor plug one-quarter clockwise until it stops.
Using the diagram on the logger housing
shown above as reference, insert the plug
into the analog sensor port.
Turn the plug onequarter clockwise.
The flat part of the plug will be
facing up when properly installed.
2. In HOBOconnect™, connect to the logger and tap . The sensor type will be selected automatically. Set any other logger
settings and tap . See the HOBOconnect User’s Guide at https://www.onsetcomp.com/hoboconnect for details on
configuring the logger.
Mounting Guidelines
Air/Water/Soil Temperature Probe (SD-TEMP-xx):
• When measuring air temperature, mount the sensor where there is good air circulation. Leave space between the sensor and
the mounting surface so temperature measurements are not affected by the surface itself.
Stainless Steel Temperature Probe (SD-TEMP-SS-06):
• Items included: 2 tie wraps, 1 #6 screw, thermal compound
• Use a small amount of the enclosed thermal compound between the flat part of the sensor tip and the surface where the
sensor is being deployed to enhance the contact between the two.
• To mount the sensor on a pipe using two tie wraps:
Place thermal compound here
between the sensor and the tube
Tie Wraps
• To mount the sensor on the wall using a #6 screw:
Place thermal compound here
between the sensor and the wall
#6 screw
