For professionals managing environmental and sensor-based monitoring systems, the DL-4C Data Logger offers a powerful, wireless solution that enhances both accuracy and convenience. Designed specifically for sensors with a current analog output (4-20 mA), the DL-4C allows for seamless data collection across multiple parameters with industry-leading reliability.
What Is the DL-4C Data Logger?
The DL-4C Data Logger is a self-contained wireless monitoring device that collects and transmits environmental and sensor data using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Paired with the free HOBOconnect app for mobile devices or Windows computers, the DL-4C enables users to access real-time data from up to 100 feet away, making it ideal for hard-to-reach installations or busy industrial environments.
Key Features of the DL-4C
- Supports Analog Current Sensors (4-20 mA):
Ideal for industrial equipment and monitoring devices with current output signals. - Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity:
Eliminates the need for wired data transfer; simply connect via BLE and retrieve measurements on the go. - Large Storage Capacity:
Stores up to 1.9 million measurements, allowing for long-term data collection without frequent offloads. - High-Resolution Logging:
Equipped with 16-bit resolution, ensuring high-precision data for critical applications. - LCD Display with Alarms:
Built-in screen provides visual alerts and an audible alarm when thresholds are breached or sensors are disconnected. - Fast, Simple Setup:
New Self-Describing sensors enable automatic configuration for rapid deployment.
DL-4C vs. DL-4V: What’s the Difference?
- DL-4C:
Designed for current analog output sensors (4-20 mA). - DL-4V:
Ideal for voltage analog output sensors (0-5 VDC).
Be sure to choose the right model for your monitoring setup.
1-Channel vs. 4-Channel Configurations
The DL-4C comes in two configurations depending on your monitoring needs:
1-Channel DL-4C (Default)
- Measures:
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- Light Intensity
- Includes one 4-20 mA cable.
4-Channel DL-4C (Optional Upgrade)
- For use with up to 4 external analog sensors.
- Does not support onboard temperature, humidity, or light sensors.
- Ideal for environments requiring multiple sensor inputs.
Ordering Note: When selecting multiple cables, only one type of cable can be ordered online. For a custom mix (e.g., a combination of voltage and current cables), please contact us directly for a tailored order.
Applications
The DL-4C is well-suited for a variety of use cases, including:
- Industrial and process monitoring
- Greenhouse and agricultural environments
- HVAC system diagnostics
- Cleanroom and laboratory settings
- Water and wastewater treatment facilities
