HOBO® External Sensors and Input Cables

Go directly to ORDER FORM

All of the cables below can be plugged directly into the external inputs of the HOBO 4-Channel Indoor External, HOBO® H8 Outdoor/Industrial 4-Channel, the HOBO H8 RH/Temp/Light/External, the HOBO H8 RH/Temp/2x External, or the HOBO Temp/External data loggers. Accuracy specifications for sensors reflect the combined performance of the logger and sensor.

  • Range: -40° to 100°C (-40° to 212°F) in air
  • Accuracy: ±0.5°C at 20°C (±0.9°F at 70°F), see plot A below (insert probe 0.9" min.)
  • Drift: < 0.1°C (0.2°F ) per year
  • Resolution: ±0.41°C at 20°C, (±0.7°F at 70°F), see plot A below
  • Response time in air: 2.5 minutes typical 1m/sec (2.2mph)

These probes can be plugged directly into the external input jacks of H8 Family loggers to measure temperature in water or soil.

  • Range: 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F) in water or soil, -40° to 100°C (-40° to 212°F) in air
  • Accuracy: ±0.5°C at 20°C (±0.9°F at 70°F), see plot A above (insert probe 0.9" min.)
  • Drift: < 0.1°C (0.2°F ) per year
  • Resolution: ±0.41°C at 20°C (±0.7°F at 70°F), see plot A above
  • Response time in air: 3 minutes typical to 90% in air moving 1 m/sec (2.2 mph)
  • Response time in stirred water: 1 minute typical to 90%
  • Available in 1.8m, 6.1m, and 15.2m foot cable lengths (6, 20, and 50 foot)
  • Housing: Stainless-steel sensor tip
  • Probe dimensions: 0.7 cm x 2.5 cm (0.275" x 1.0")
  • Weight: 37g (1.3 oz), 125g (4.4 oz), or 280g (9.9 oz)

Note: Sensor tip and cable immersion in fresh water up to 50°C (122°F) for one year; radiation shield strongly recommended for use in sunlight.

Temperature Accuracy and Resolution
High-accuracy Temperature Accuracy & Resolution Plot
  • Range: 0° to 44°C (32° to 110°F) in air
  • Accuracy: ±0.4°C at 20°C (±0.7°F at 70°F), see plot B below (insert probe at 1.3" min.)
  • Drift: < 0.1°C (0.2°F ) per year
  • Resolution: 0.2°C at 20°C (0.3°F at 70°F), see plot B below
  • Response time in air: 4.5 minutes typical to 90% in air moving 1m/sec (2.2mph)
  • Response time in stirred water: 1 minute typical
  • 7.6mm (0.3") diameter sensor (fits in 9.5mm (3/8") holes)
  • 1.8m cable (6 foot)

Note: TMC6-HB temperature probes are not recommended for prolonged use in moist environments. Using these probes in water for longer than the following times can lead to significant measurement drift and possible sensor failure: 2 weeks maximum at up to 70°C, 6 weeks maximum at up to 50°C and 10 weeks maximum at up to 40°C. These sensors can be used in many soils, but not in those with prolonged high-moisture content.
