Important:
If this RX3000 station is a replacement for an
existing U30 station, it is imperative that you power down
the U30 station being replaced (disconnect the battery
and AC adapter or solar panel) before you remove the
smart sensors and connect them to the RX3000. Do not
repower the U30 station or allow it to connect to
HOBOlink again unless at least one different smart sensor
is connected to the U30 station first.

Note that some smart sensors have more than one
channel associated with them so the number of
channels may not match the physical number of smart
sensors connected (for example the temperature/RH
smart sensor has two channels: one for temperature
and one for RH).
