Conductivity Data Logger Salt Water HOBO U24-002-C

Overview
The HOBO U24-002-C is a cost-effective data logger for measuring salinity, conductivity and temperature in saltwater environments with relatively small changes in salinity (±5,000 μS/cm) such as saltwater bays, or to detect salinity events such as upwelling, rainstorm, and discharge events. Data from the logger can be used with data from the HOBO U26 Dissolved Oxygen Logger for monitoring percent dissolved oxygen saturation.

Features
Non-contact sensor provides long life
Provides easy access to sensor for cleaning and shedding air bubbles
Two user-selectable ranges provide measurements from 100 to 55,000 uS/cm.
The Delrin housing will not corrode in saltwater
HOBOware Pro software enables start/end-point calibration to compensate for any fouling and provides easy conversion to specific conductance and salinity using the Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS-78)
USB optical interface provides high-speed, reliable salinity data offload in wet environments
Compatible with the HOBO Waterproof Shuttle for easy and reliable data retrieval and transport

Specification
Measurements: Actual Conductivity, Temperature, Specific Conductance at 25C (calculated), Salinity (calculated using PSS-78, the Practical Salinity Scale 1978)

Conductivity Measurement Range (Calibrated Range)
High range: 5000 to 55,000 uS/cm
Low range: 100 to 10,000 uS/cm
