HOBO Event Data Logger
Model H07-002-04

Onset Event Data Logger for Tipping Rain Gauges and Industrial Counting

Description
The HOBO Event Logger records the opening of a closed circuit and is used primarily for tipping rain collectors and industrial counting application. The event logger will record 8,000 events and store the time and date of each one. Only one time per event is stored to minimize memory usage for applications where the event duration is not needed.

Accessories
  • Weatherproof Case
  • 6 foot Cable

Required Software
BoxCar Software Kit

Features
  • Record and Log Momentary Contact-Closure Events
  • Store up to 8,000 Events Without Downloading Data
  • Compatible with the optional HOBO Shuttle for Data Download and Logger Relaunch in the Field
  • Nonvolatile EEPROM memory retains data even if the battery fails
  • Blinking LED light inside case confirms operation
  • Requires BoxCar Software Kit for Logger Setup and Data Download

Hobo Event and Rainfall Logging
The HOBO Event data logger can connect to standard tipping-bucket rain collectors to determine rainfall rates, times and duration. The HOBO Event Data Logger eliminates the need to manually read rain gauges, saving time and insuring that critical readings are not missed. Use it to upgrade existing tipping-bucket systems by replacing counting-type displays. We also offer a tipping-bucket rain gauge that is packaged with the Hobo Event.

Features for rainfall measurement
  • Easily connects to 2-wire output or 2-screw terminals in the collector

  • Compact, weatherproof case can be mounted inside or outside the rain collector (avoid direct sunlight)

  • 8,000-tip capacity for up to 80" of rainfall between readouts with 0.01" tipping-bucket collectors

  • User-entered resolution to match with rain-gauge collector

  • Programmable lockout time to filter out false counts due to tipping-bucket bounce

  • Tip counts logged with time information to enable rainfall intensity determination
