Accurately measure rainfall with the HOBO Pendant Event Data Logger. Determine rainfall rates, times, and duration after deployment with most standard tipping-bucket rain gauges. Efficiently gather and store momentary contact events and temperature data. Additionally, gain access to detailed event data. Event data is only stored when it happens for better memory usage. Use a solar radiation shield for accurate temperature measurement in sunlight applications. See RS1 Solar Radiation Shield (assembly required) and M-RSA (pre-assembled) Solar Radiation Shield.
External Event Input
Event sensor: Two-wire interface suitable for measuring mechanical and electrical contact closures
Maximum input frequency: 1 Hz (1 pulse per second)
Lockout time: 500 ms
Minimum pulse width: 1 ms (hardware debounce)
Input/output impedance: 100 kΩ
Edge detection: Falling edge, contact closure, or Schmitt-trigger buffer
Preferred switch type: Normally open. For maximum battery life, the event input should be used with its preferred switch type. The logger will work with normally closed switches, but battery life will be compromised.
Open circuit input voltage: Battery voltage; nominally 3.0 V
Maximum input voltage: Battery voltage + 0.3 V
User connection: 24 AWG, 2 leads: white (+), black (-)
Temperature Measurement
Measurement range: -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F)
Accuracy: ± 0.53°C from 0° to 50°C (± 0.95°F from 32° to 122°F), see Plot A. A solar radiation shield is required for accurate temperature measurements in sunlight.
Resolution: 0.14°C at 25°C (0.25°F at 77°F), see Plot A
Drift: Less than 0.1°C/year (0.2°F/year)
Response time: Airflow of 2 m/s (4.4 mph): 10 minutes, typical to 90%
Logger
Time accuracy: ± 1 minute per month at 25°C (77°F), see Plot B
Operating range: -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F)
Environmental rating: Tested to NEMA 6 and IP67; suitable for deployment outdoors
Drop specification: 1.5 m (5 ft) onto concrete
NIST traceable certification: Available for temperature only at additional charge; temperature range -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F)
Battery: CR-2032 3V lithium battery; 1 year typical use
Memory: 64K bytes
Materials: Polypropylene case; stainless steel screws; Buna-N o-ring; PVC cable insulation
Weight: 50 g (1.7 oz.)
Dimensions: 71 x 33 x 23 mm (2.8 x 1.3 x 0.9 inches); 1.8 m (6 ft) cable

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect
Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Microbes and Human Health: Aquatic Microbial Communities May Hold Clues about How Deadly Pathogens Spread
Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct . The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem. How Do Pathogens Arise? Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.

Winter 2023 Environmental Monitor Available Now
In this issue, we showcase researchers from across the globe and the importance of monitoring and protecting biodiversity in a variety of ecosystems. From endangered freshwater mussels across the U.S. to vegetation in the Amazon Rainforest , this latest edition highlights the importance of species of all sizes. Through monitoring various parameters, researchers spent the year gathering data and constructing management plans to protect these valuable species. Our writers also sought out science professionals that are dedicated to protecting nature’s most vulnerable through traditional and more contemporary methods.
