CO2 concentrations as low as 1,200 to 1,500 ppm can impact negatively on people’s well-being and health. Depending on the person, drowsiness and headaches can be induced, resulting in reduced concentration or in-attentiveness. Monitoring CO2 data helps to improve and optimize indoor air quality and to maintain a healthy environment – whether in production facilities, warehouses or in offices. It is helpful to determine the CO2 content in the air with special measuring devices, for example data loggers.

Using the Hobo series MX1102A CO2 data logger makes this monitoring task uncomplicated, fast and inexpensive, according to the provider CiK Solutions. It is the first battery-operated data logger that wirelessly transmits carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity data up to 30 m to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet without the need for a cable, PC software or Internet access. This makes it possible to easily retrieve data even in inaccessible places, such as ventilation systems.

Using the Hobo MX1102A logger makes it easier than ever to measure and record CO2 values inside buildings and in other non-condensing environments. It measures CO2 levels between 0 and 5,000 ppm, and the free Hobomobile app enables data access directly from a mobile phone or tablet within a 30 m range.

The data logger features an easy-to-read LCD display, showing currently recorded values and logger status. It runs for six months on replaceable AA batteries. Additionally, the logger has a USB connection, should one wish to configure it on a PC, or evaluate data further with the Hoboware graphics and analysis software. This can also be used to supply the logger with power should monitoring last longer than six months.
