HOBO® RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station Manual
18255-L
The HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station provides continuous logging for a broad range of
energy and weather monitoring applications with up to ten smart sensors, optional analog sensor
and relay modules, and wireless sensor motes. Data from the RX3000 station is transferred at
regular connection intervals to HOBOlink® web-based software where you can check the latest
conditions, view graphs, configure sensors and alarms, set up a dashboard, download your data,
or schedule data delivery via email or FTP. Inside its weatherproof enclosure, this durable station
has a built-in LCD screen to check the current system configuration and status, start and stop
logging, add and remove smart sensors, and connect to HOBOlink on demand. Up to three
individual relays can be activated on the optional relay module while the optional analog module
has four analog inputs that support excitation power, scaling, and statistics measurements. An
optional RXW Manager module is also available for the station to set up the HOBOnet Wireless
Sensor Network, which can support up to 50 motes. All three easy-to-install modules can be
configured with HOBOlink.
