Optic USB Base Station for HOBO loggers

The BASE-U-4 connects HOBO data loggers with an Optic USB interface to a computer via USB. It uses infrared light to transfer data, keeping loggers sealed and waterproof. Couplers for six logger types are included in the package. The splash-resistant housing protects the base station during field use.

Sustained data offload in field conditions

Infrared transfer eliminates exposed ports, so the connection stays reliable even when loggers are wet or dirty. The USB link to the host computer provides steady power and bandwidth for long download sessions. Splash resistance lets the base station operate outdoors without extra shielding.

Replaces older Optic USB bases or serial adapters

The jump is worth it when you need one station that handles UA, U20, U22, U23, UTBI, U24 and U26 series loggers without swapping couplers. It is not for users who only need Bluetooth or direct USB loggers.

Questions about this item

Does the BASE-U-4 draw enough USB power to run all day without a separate supply?

It connects to the computer via USB and uses that connection for both power and communication, so no external power adapter is needed.

What must I already own to offload data with this base station?

You need a HOBO data logger from the UA, U20, U22, U23, UTBI, U24 or U26 series and a computer with an available USB port.

Will the included couplers let me keep using my older U20 and U23 loggers with this new base station?

Yes, couplers for the U20 water-level loggers and U23 data loggers are included in the box, so those older models connect directly.
