HOBO U30 Station/RC

C h e c k i n g C e l l u l a r S i g n a l S t r e n g t h ( U 3 0 / G S M )

When deploying the HOBO U30/GSM Station, it is important to select a location where a cellular signal is

strong to ensure regular connections to HOBOlink. Check your cellular carrier’s coverage map on their
website to get a general idea of strong signal areas. Then, use HOBOware Pro to identify how strong the

cellular signal is in the exact spot where the HOBO U30 Station is located.

1.

Connect the HOBO U30 Station to a computer using the USB cable.

2.

Select the U30.

3.

In the

Status

window check the signal strength (RSSI) level.

Signal strength is measured on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no signal and 10 being the
strongest signal. Positioning the station in a location where the signal strength is 6 to 10 is ideal for
consistent successful connections to HOBOlink.

4.

Disconnect the computer from the U30 (make sure you remove the USB cable from the U30).
