HOBO® RX3000 RXW Manager (RXMOD-RXW-xxx) Quick Start
22239-B MAN-QSG-RXMOD-RXW
Important:
If you have not already registered the RX3000 station with HOBOlink® and set up the station communications, follow the
instructions in the
HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station Quick Start
before continuing (go to www.onsetcomp.com/manuals/rx3000-qsg).
1
Stop the RX3000 station and connect to
HOBOlink.
2
Power down the RX3000 station.
3
Install the RXW Manager module.
4
Connect the RXW Manager module to the
mote.
5
Power up the RX3000 station.
6
Update the RX3000 station firmware.
If you added the module to an RX3000 station that was
previously in use, you will need to update the station
firmware. If you have a new station, go to step 7.
a.
In HOBOlink, go to Devices > List and click the station name.
b.
On the station page, click Overview and scroll down to
Device Information.
c.
On the General tab under the Firmware Version, click the
firmware
upgrade link.
d.
Select Upgrade on Next Connection and click Save.
e.
Press the Connect button on the station to connect to
HOBOlink and start the firmware upgrade.
f.
Wait for the firmware upgrade to complete. The upgrade
icon should be gone in HOBOlink once the upgrade is
successful. If the station firmware is not successfully
installed, it could be because there is an interruption in
cellular service or poor signal strength. Contact Onset
Technical Support for help.
7
Configure the module in HOBOlink.
Set the logging interval for the module in HOBOlink. Go to
Devices > List, select the
icon next to your station, and
select Module/Sensor Configuration. Select Module <1 or 2>:
Wireless Sensors Logging, enter a logging interval (how often
the sensor motes will record data), and click Save.
Press the Start button on the RX3000 station to begin logging.
See the HOBOlink Help for details on how to change
connection intervals, view data, check mote status, and more.
8
Mount the manager mote and add sensor
motes and repeaters to the network.
•
Close the mote and use a padlock to keep it secure.
•
Mount the mote vertically using cable ties or screws.
•
Mount the manager as high as possible above the RX3000
station to increase the radio signal and line of sight.
•
Add sensor motes and any repeaters to the wireless
network and then deploy them.
Follow the tips on the reverse side for setting up the network.
Note:
Make sure that the RXW Manager cable and all other
cables and wires are routed through weatherproof cable
channels. Refer to the RX3000 manual at
www.onsetcomp.com/manual/rx3000
for details.
Disconnect the battery and unplug any charging device.
Insert the connector on the back of the module into the
receptacle in the left or right module slot. Use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to tighten the screw at the bottom of the module.
Press the Stop button if the station is currently logging and
then press the Connect button to upload the latest data to
HOBOlink.
Plug in the battery and then the charging device, and wait for
the station to power up. Verify that the new module is listed
on the LCD screen with a checkmark. The station should
automatically connect to HOBOlink (press the Connect
button on the station if it does not).
Plug the cable from
the RXW Manager
mote into the jack on
the module, making
sure the cable is
inserted through the
bottom of the station
case. Do not
reconnect the power
on the station until
the mote is plugged
in as shown.
