Important:
Do not configure the water level and water flow
channels yet. Continue to step 10 to start logging and then
obtain a water reference level reading in step 11 first.
10.
Start logging.
Press the Start button on the station to start logging. The
station will connect to HOBOlink (“Connection” will blink
on the LCD) and then logging will begin at the logging
interval specified for smart sensors and the water level
module (if applicable).
Once logging begins, “Logging” appears in the upper right
corner of the LCD as shown in the following example.
“Logging” will blink until the first logging sample is
recorded. At that point, it will stop blinking and remain
illuminated until logging is stopped.
If you are not using a water level sensor, then the setup is
complete. Measurements are uploaded to HOBOlink each
time the station connects.
11.
Obtain a reference water level reading (RX2103 and
RX2104 models).
Make sure the water level sensor is deployed in its final
location and the station is logging. Take a reference level
reading, measuring the water level from your reference
point.
Important:
Note the reference level reading as well as the
date and time it was taken.
12.
Configure the water level and water flow channels
in HOBOlink (RX2103 and RX2104 models).
Perform the following steps in the field in HOBOlink with a
mobile device to verify that the system is logging the
water level correctly while you are still at the station site.

number.
•
If the water level surface is
above
the reference
point, enter the reference water level as a positive
number.
