Onset HOBO MX800 2-Sensor Adapter
Features
- Turns MX800 logger into multi-parameter sensor instrument
- Can connect sensors directly (MX801), or cables to sensors (MX802)
- Protective housing screws on and off for easy access to sensors
- Free ground shipping
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support
- More
This adapter supports the connection of any two sensors to one MX800 data logger- Dissolved Oxygen (W-DO), Conductivity Sensor (W-CT), and CTD sensor (W-CTD-xx).
Sensors can be attached directly to the fully submersible MX801 model, or to the end of a W-series cable that's connected to the direct-read MX802 model. Two sensors of the same type can be attached to monitor at multiple depths. When using a DO with CT or CTD combination, salinity-adjusted DO readings are logged directly without a need to perform post-processing.
The 2-sensor adapter comes with a sensor guard that screws onto the adapter to prevent damage to sensors while allowing ample water flow. Users also have an option to purchase an additional anti-biofouling guard (W-GUARD-2), which extends time between sensor cleanings by reducing fouling of the sensor.
Full Length: 12.3"
Full Length with Anti-Fouling Guard: 12.5"
Diameter: 2.385"
Diameter with Anti-Fouling Guard: 2.5"
- 2-Sensor Adapter
- 2 sets of couplers for attaching the two sensors
- Sensor bracket for holding sensors together
- Sensor guard
- Set screws to lock sensor guard into adapter
- Tapered coupler for attaching adapter to a W-Series direct read cable

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” 
 
Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. 
 
Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries .

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. 
 
Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. 
 
Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. 
 
 Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.
