Quick Start for the HOBO® MX Water Level Logger (MX2001)

Before you begin: After completing steps 1–4, we recommend that you perform a trial run of steps 5 through 11 before deploying the logger.
IMPORTANT: When assembling the logger or attaching the cable, make sure the O-rings and mating housing surfaces are clear of any debris. Any contamination of these surfaces can cause leaks that will lead to logger failure.

1. Install the batteries in the top end. Unscrew the end cap and pull out the board. Apply a small amount of the fresh dielectric grease (included) to the battery terminals. Insert the included two AA batteries observing polarity as shown on the board. Reinsert the board. Screw the cap back on until hand tight.

2. Connect the top end to the sensor end with the water l evel logger cable as shown here. The end of the cable with the longer housing connects to the top end as shown below.

3. Download HOBOconnect® to a phone or tablet from the App Store® or Google Play™. Download HOBOconnect to a Windows® computer from www.onsetcomp.com/products/software/hoboconnect.

4. Open the app. Enable Bluetooth® in your device settings if prompted.

5. Tap Devices in the app. The logger should appear in the list of devices. If it does not appear, make sure it is within range of your phone, tablet, or computer. (Note that the serial number shown in the app is for the top end of the logger).

6. If you are ready to deploy the logger, place it in the deployment location. Refer to the logger manual at
   www.onsetcomp.com/manual/mx2001 for deployment guidelines. Otherwise, skip deployment and complete the following steps as a test.

7. Tap the logger tile in the app to connect to the logger and tap Configure & Start to set up the logger.

8. Scroll down in the Configuration screen to select the measurement parameters you want to log. Enable differential pre ssure if
   you want water level. Make sure that temperature is enabled if you want water level, absolute pressure, or differential pressure.

9. Select any other logger settings as desired and then tap Start to save the settings to the logger. The logger begins logging data based on the settings you selected.

10. In the logger screen:

    • a. Tap Calibrate.
