HOBO MX2502 Underwater PAR Data Logger: A New Era in Environment Monitoring

In an important development for environmental research, LI-COR has launched the HOBO MX2502, a cutting-edge data logger designed for underwater applications. This device combines Bluetooth technology with state-of-the-art measurement capabilities, making it a game-changer for researchers involved in ecosystem protection, restoration, and study.

Features of the HOBO MX2502

The HOBO MX2502 is not just another data logger; it represents a significant step forward in underwater measurement technology. Here are its key features:

• - Comprehensive Data Capture: This device records three vital metrics - underwater photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), temperature, and tilt. Collecting this data simultaneously offers researchers a more holistic understanding of underwater environments.

• - Advanced Sensor Technology: It employs the LI-COR LI-192 Quantum sensor, delivering unparalleled accuracy in PAR measurement, a crucial factor for studies on light's effect on aquatic ecosystems.

• - Bluetooth Connectivity: Equipped with Bluetooth, the MX2502 allows for quick and hassle-free data offloading. Researchers can easily transfer their measurements to the free HOBOconnect app, eliminating the need for complicated setups.

• - User-Friendly Design: The device's rugged, waterproof housing ensures durability, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater conditions. This resilience allows researchers to deploy the logger confidently, knowing it will withstand harsh underwater environments.

• - Maintenance Innovations: The HOBO MX2502 can integrate with third-party wipers, helping to maintain a clear sensor window free from sediment and biofouling. This enhancement significantly improves data quality and reduces maintenance efforts.

• - Built-in Tilt Sensor: Ensuring accurate orientation during deployment, the tilt sensor helps researchers maintain correct positioning for reliable data collection.

• - Cloud Data Solutions: For those seeking more advanced data management, there's an option to consolidate and visualize data in the LI-COR Cloud with the MX Data Plan. This functionality makes data sharing and decision-making much faster and more efficient.

Applications of HOBO MX2502

The HOBO MX2502 is tailored for various environmental applications. Whether studying coral reef health, assessing water quality, or investigating the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, this data logger provides researchers with reliable and high-quality data crucial for informed decision-making.

As Tom Reslewic, CEO of LI-COR observed, “Combining research-grade PAR accuracy, wireless connectivity, and a rugged underwater design, the HOBO MX2502 provides a simple, reliable way to capture high-quality underwater light data without the complexity or cost traditionally associated with this level of measurement.”

Pricing and Availability

The HOBO MX2502 Underwater PAR Data Logger is priced at $1,999 USD. Interested parties can now purchase it through LI-COR's official website or authorized distributors.
