The compact and rugged HOBO MicroRX Station is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost cellular solution for long-term, reliable field monitoring. Two power source options are available: a solar panel for extended deployments, and user-replaceable batteries for flexible mounting in covered or protected locations. The station includes inputs for up to five of Onset’s research-grade plug-and-play sensors, and can be ordered with an additional water level sensor input with integrated flow conversion. Configurable station-side alarms trigger immediate notifications of critical conditions, and Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink platform makes it easy to view, access, and share data.

| Battery Type/Power Source | RX2102 and RX2104: Integrated 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack; optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in place of integrated solar panel RX2101 and RX2103: 6 AA 1.5 V lithium batteries or AC power adapter (P-AC-1) |
| Battery Life | RX2102 and RX2104 Battery Life:
Typical 3–5 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:
Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:
Battery life without solar recharging, with hourly connections and
RX2101 and RX2103 Battery Life: Battery life with daily connections:
Battery life with hourly connections and 1 minute logging:
Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life. |
