HOBO® U9 Data Logger Family

With direct USB interface

Onset's new HOBO U9 data loggers monitor and record state changes and light or motor on/off status for use in energy audits and equipment monitoring. The HOBO U9 logger's large memory records up to 43K state changes or on/off cycles, and the easy-to-use HOBOware™ (Windows) software program provides statistical data such as total % time closed/on and total % time open/off. Data is output via direct USB interface.

Features & Specifications

  • Operating Range: -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F); 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
  • Programmable Start time/date or Push-button start
  • Blinking LED indicates current state
  • Capacity: 26K to 43K time-stamped state changes (typical, based on state-change interval)
  • Battery level indication at launch
    Battery level can be recorded as separate channel
  • 1-year battery life (typical)—user-replaceable CR2032 lithium battery
  • Numerous event types (button push/release, host PC connection, low battery) stored to data file asynchronously during logging
  • Hinged case snaps open for easy battery replacement
    Time Accuracy: approximately +/-1 min/month at 25°C (77°F)
  • Logger size: 6.0 x 4.7 x 1.9 cm (2.4 x 1.9 x 0.8")
  • Weight: approx. 28 grams (0.9 oz)
  • Patented technology (U.S. Patent 6,826,664)
U9 Loggers record time and duration of state changes, light on/off or motor on/off

Detailed Specifications

State Logger (U9-001)
Monitors when doors are open/closed using an internal magnetic reed switch and external magnet. External input cable included to monitor contact closures of remote devices or presence of positive DC voltages up to 15V. The State logger may be used with the CSV-A8 Current Switch.

Logger Specifications
Spacing between magnet and logger:
  Open: ≥0.75 in
  Closed: ≤0.25 in
Contact closure resistance:
  Open: > 300K ohms
  Closed: < 15K ohms


Light on/off Logger (U9-002)
The light intensity threshold monitored is adjustable from approximately 10 to 100 lumens/m
2 (flourescent light). The HOBO’s light sensitivity is peaked in the forward direction and can be taken advantage of to minimize the effect of other light sources when trying to determine the on/off state of a particular light source.

Logger Specifications
Light threshold adjustment range: 10 to 100 lumens / meters
2 (fluorescent light) @ room temp. The sensor’s sensitivity to incandescent light is about ten times greater.


Motor on/off Logger (U9-004)
The Motor on/off logger senses the magnetic field created when an AC motor turns on. It attaches easily to the motor housing without requiring any wiring. The logger must be mounted very close to (ideally directly on) the field source, as magnetic field intensities fall off rapidly with increasing distance from their source (motor, transformer, or even a single wire carrying a large AC current). Mount the logger on or close to the motor housing or to one phase of the power line to the equipment being monitored.

Logger Specifications
AC magnetic field threshold: 750mGauss @ 60 Hz (depending on distance and orientation)

Required Software

HOBOware™ for Windows® software is required to operate HOBO® U9 loggers. Each starter kit includes software, USB interface cable, and software manual.
