Onset Announces New Data Logger for Energy Management

Onset  (News - Alert)Computer Corporation, the company in data loggers, announced the HOBO UX120 Pulse Logger, a 4-channel energy data logger that combines the functionality of four separate data loggers into a single compact unit.


With the HOBO UX120, energy management professionals can easily track building energy consumption, equipment runtimes, and water and gas flow rates. It can simultaneously measure and record pulse signals, events, state changes, and runtimes, and is capable of storing up to 4 million measurements. It enables longer deployments with fewer site visits.

Users can have greater control over their deployments with a number of features of the HOBO UX120. For example, users can start and stop the logger via software or pushbuttons, and set the logger so it continues to log/overwrite data when the memory is full. It also provides diagnostics via on-board LEDs to assure logger operation which aids the installation process, and enables high-speed data offloads via its USB 2.0 interface.

Onset's new HOBO Power Logging System merges the HOBO UX120 Pulse (News - Alert) Logger with Onset's E50B2 Energy and Power Meter; it provides a comprehensive energy and power monitoring solution. The flexible system can measure and record Power Factor (PF), Reactive Power (VAR), and Watt Hours (Wh) and a variety of other parameters. Used for both single and three-phase monitoring applications, it accepts voltage ranges of 90 – 600VAC, current ranges of 5 – 32,000 amps.

Combining powerful graphing and analysis capabilities with a newly-optimized interface for configuring logging options and sensors, the HOBO UX120 Pulse Logger and HOBO Power Logging System are compatible with Onset's HOBOware Pro 3.2 software.

While the HOBO UX120-017 Pulse Logger is available in standard and expanded memory versions, the HOBO Power Logging System is available immediately from Onset.

"The HOBO UX120 offers unparalleled energy measurement flexibility at a fraction of the cost of current multi-channel pulse logging solutions," said Scott Ellis, product marketing specialist for Onset. "It will become a standard toolbox product for energy monitoring applications where fast deployment and a range of energy measurements are needed. For example, while the logger is monitoring power use on one channel, it can independently track gas flow on another, pump runtimes on another, etc."

Onset, the supplier of data loggers, provides HOBO data logger and weather station products. Its products are used in a broad range of monitoring applications, from verifying the performance of green buildings and renewable energy systems to agricultural and coastal research. Founded in 1981, Onset is based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and has sold more than 1.5 million data loggers since then.

In related news, Onset Technology launched OnPage, a paging and priority messaging application for iPhone and BlackBerry (News - Alert) Smartphones.
