Overview
The compact HOBO MicroRX Station is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost cellular solution for long-term, reliable monitoring of indoor conditions in warehouses, cold storage facilities, data centers, museums, commercial and residential buildings, and more. The station includes an integrated HOBOnet Manager, for easy deployment with wireless HOBOnet sensors. The station also features inputs for up to five of Onset’s research-grade plug-and-play sensors. 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.

In what environment does this data logger operate?
This data logger operates in an indoor environment.
What measurements does this data logger support?
The RX2105 data logger supports the following measurements: 4-20mA, AC Current, AC Voltage, Amp Hour (Ah), Amps (A), DC Voltage, Event, Kilowatt Hours (kWh), Kilowatts (kW), Light Intensity, Power Factor (PF), Pulse Input, Relative Humidity, Temperature, Volt-Amp Reactive, Volt-Amp Reactive hour, Volt-Amps (VA), Volts (V), Water Flow, Watt Hours (Wh) and Watts (W)
