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 and optional relay and
analog sensor modules. 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, 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. Both of these easy-to-install modules can
be configured with HOBOlink.
