HOBO® Data Node, Temperature/RH (ZW-003) 

The HOBO ZW-003 data node is configured with an integrated temperature/RH sensor. This 
node has routing capability in the ZW wireless network when initially powered with an AC 
adapter. Refer to the 

HOBO ZW Series Wireless Network Quick Start Guide

 for information on 

how to set up this node.

*  

A line-powered ZW-003 data node has a broader accuracy specification because the radio is always on, thereby heating 
the temperature sensor. The impact on accuracy varies depending on the environmental conditions where the device is 
located. A line-powered ZW-003 data node cannot be NIST-calibrated because the environment is not known prior to 
deployment.
