Hobo RX2104 Remote Tank Level Station (30 min logging/6 hr uploads)

The new cellular, web-enabled HOBO MicroRX station is partnered with Onsets own water level sensor to deliver water level monitoring data to cloud-based HOBOlink software.

Key Advantages:

– Eliminate manual monitoring of tank levels.
– Act quickly in response to alarms triggered for low water levels, delivered by email or SMS.
– Deploy in harsh conditions with the tough, compact station
– Monitor multiple environmental parameters with the flexibility of Onsets suite of smart sensors

What measurements does this data logger support?

The RX2100 data loggers have a wide variety of optional sensors available and can support the following measurements:

Absolute Pressure, 4-20mA, AC Current, AC Voltage, Amp Hour (Ah), Barometric Pressure, DC Voltage, Evapotranspiration, Kilowatt Hours (kWh), Leaf Wetness, Light Intensity, PAR, Power Factor (PF), Pulse Input, Rainfall, Relative Humidity, Soil Moisture, Temperature, Volt-Amp Reactive hour, Volt-Amps (VA), Water Level, Watt Hours (Wh), Watts (W) and Wind

HOBOlink:

HOBOlink, Onset’s cloud based software platform, allows you to access your data anywhere on your mobile device or desktop. Customizable dashboards and easily-configurable alarms make your field data more accessible and meaningful. HOBOlink can send an email or a text/SMS message to your phone when conditions exceed set thresholds.

Specifications

Water level sensor specifications:

– Operation Range: 0 to 207 kPa (0 to 30 psia); approximately 0 to 9 m (0 to 30 ft) of water depth at sea level, or 0 to 12 m (0 to 40 ft) of water at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) of altitude
– Factory Calibrated Range: 69 to 207 kPa (10 to 30 psia), 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F)
– Burst Pressure: 310 kPa (45 psia) or 18 m (60 ft) depth
– Water Level Accuracy: Typical error: +/- 0.05% FS, 0.5 cm (0.015 ft) water; Maximum error: +/- 0.1% FS, 1.0 cm (0.03 ft) water

Battery life specifications:

Typical 3 to 5 years when operated in the temperature range -20 to 40 C (-4 to 104 F); operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life.

Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun:

– 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than +/- 40 degrees
– 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute connections in winter

Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:

– 10 minute connections year round, in full sun
– Connection rate with external solar panels may be less if deployed in partial sun

Battery life without solar recharging, with hourly connections and 1 minute logging: 2 months
