Device Components and Operation
Station Door:
This is the protective, hinged door covering the
LCD and electronics. The station serial number and device key
needed for HOBOlink registration are located on the inside of
the door.
LCD Screen:
This shows details about system, module, and
sensor operation (see
LCD Operation
).
Select Button:
Use this button to cycle through information
about the smart sensors and optional modules (see
LCD
Operation
).
Start/Stop Button
: Use this button to start and stop logging or
clear a fault code (see
LCD Operation
).
Connect/Search Button:
Use this button to connect to
HOBOlink or search for new smart sensors (see
LCD Operation)
.
Antenna:
This is the external radio antenna for cellular
communication in the RX3003 model. The RX3002 and RX3004
models use an internal antenna.
SIM Card/Micro SIM Card:
A SIM card is installed in the RX3003
model or a micro SIM card is installed in the RX3004 model to
enable cellular communications.
Grounding Wire Port:
Use this port to connect a grounding wire
(see
Deploying and Mounting the Station
).
Module Slots:
These are two slots for installing optional analog
sensor, relay, or RXW Manager modules (see
Setting up the
Station
).
Battery Port:
Use this port to plug in the internal battery cable
(see
Setting up the Station
and
Battery Information
).
Charging Port:
Use this port to plug in an AC adapter, solar
panel, or external power source to keep the battery charged
(see
Setting up the Station
and
Battery Information
).
USB Port:
Use this port to connect the station to the computer
via USB cable as needed for HOBOware.
Ethernet Connector:
Use this port to connect an Ethernet RJ45
cable for the RX3001 model (see
Setting up the Station
).
Smart Sensor Connectors:
Use these input jacks to connect up
to 10 smart sensors (see
Setting up the Station
). The station can
support up to 15 smart sensor data channels; some smart
sensors have more than one data channel.
Cable Access Openings:
These are the two openings for
connecting cables and wires to the station (see
Setting up the
Station
). Install the cover plates and rubber cable channels in
these openings to create a weatherproof seal (see
Deploying
and Mounting the Station
).
Vent.
This vent allows pressure to equalize inside the station
while keeping water out. Note that the pressure inside the
station does not match the outside air pressure exactly.
Therefore, a barometric pressure sensor deployed within the
case cannot measure the true atmospheric pressure unless it
has its own unrestricted vent to the outside.
