Overview
The HOBO MX2501 pH and Temperature Data Logger is designed for long-term monitoring of pH in estuaries, lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans. Leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, the MX2501 pH Logger communicates wirelessly with the free HOBOmobile app on iOS and Android devices, making logger setup, calibration, and data offload quick and easy.

Mechanics
The guided pH calibration process on the HOBOmobile app makes an otherwise complicated process easier to follow. Dramatically cuts the time and effort needed to collect field data, while also offering higher resolution data.

Benefits

  • Rugged PVC housing for deployment in both freshwater and saltwater environments
  • Quick and easy data offload via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to iOS and Android devices
  • Water detection system for longer battery life and less maintenance
  • Potentiometric pH electrode with plastic body, gel electrolyte, and double cloth junction
  • User-replaceable battery, pH electrode, and anti-biofouling copper guard

Wireless Data Standard Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart)
Logging Rate 1 second to 18 hours
Logging Modes Fixed interval (normal, statistics) or burst
Memory Modes Wrap when full or stop when full
Start Modes Immediate, push button, date & time, or next interval
Stop Modes When memory is full, push button, date & time, or after a set logging period
Time Accuracy ±1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery Type One AA 1.5 Volt, user-replaceable
Battery Life 1 year typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always On selected in software.
2 years typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Off Water Detect enabled in software.
3 years typical at 25°C (77°F) with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always Off selected in software.
Faster logging intervals and statistics sampling intervals, burst logging, remaining connected with the app, excessive downloads, and paging may impact battery life.
pH Electrode Typical Minimum Life 6 months in sample with ionic strength ≥ 100 µS/cm
Memory 152 KB (43,300 measurements, maximum)
Full Memory Download Time Approximately 60 seconds; may take longer the farther the mobile device is from the logger
Dimensions 22.86 x 4.27 cm (9.0 x 1.68 inches); mounting hole 0.64 cm (0.25 inches)
Weight 268.2 g (9.46 oz)
Wetted Materials Logger: PVC housing and sensor end cap, polycarbonate closure caps and mounting end cap with a TPE switch
pH electrode: plastic-bodied with Pellon® junctions and gel electrolyte, glass pH sensor bulb
Environmental Rating IP68
  • MX2501 pH and Temperature Data Logger
  • pH electrode
  • Bottle of storage solution that can also be used as a storage container for the electrode
  • Anti-biofouling copper guard
  • Tube of silicone grease
  • AA battery
Questions & Answers
What are the storage requirements for this sensor when not in use?
The pH sensor must be kept in storage solution when not being calibrated or deployed in water. Additional storage solution (MX2500-STORE-SOLN), clear storage caps (MX2500-STORAGE-CAP), and a maintenance kit containing pH 4.01, 7.00, and 10.00 calibration solution and storage solution (MX2500-MAINT-KIT) are available.

Data-Driven Decisions: Tracking Sediment during the Klamath Dam Removal

The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

From the Tap: Source Water Monitoring for Public Health

In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.

Choosing the Right Water Quality Monitoring Systems Is Crucial for Stantec Inc.

Data is king when it comes to water quality monitoring. It is not merely the type of data being collected that matters but also how that data is stored, processed and presented. When Joseph Kamalesh, a project manager with  Stantec Consulting Services Inc. , needs to find the right equipment for large client-based projects, he knows to keep these factors in mind. Joseph has a background in water quality and water flow monitoring instrumentation, which he continues to focus on at Stantec. During college and his early career, Joseph gained experience with water instrumentation, consisting primarily of on-site wastewater sampling and sampling small systems.
