Get the pulse of your data with HOBOnet!

The HOBOnet Wireless Pulse Input Sensor connects to sensors with pulse output. This sensor is compatible with contact closures, such as tipping-bucket rain gauges or reed switches. HOBOnet Wireless Sensors communicate data directly to the HOBO RX3000 weather station or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station. They are preconfigured and ready to deploy, and data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset’s innovative cloud-based software platform.

This sensor measures pulses and is designed to work with the HOBOnet® (HOBO® RX) Wireless Sensor Network in which data is transmitted wirelessly from the sensor mote across the network to the station and then uploaded to HOBOlink® web-based software. With HOBOlink, you can monitor sensor readings, view graphs, set up alarms, download data, and more.


Features

Sensor Features

  • Maximum input frequency 2 Hz (2 pulses per second)
  • Mechanical contact closure


Wireless Features

  • 922 MHz wireless mesh self-healing technology
  • 450 to 600 meter (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
  • Up to 50 wireless sensors per RX3000
  • Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
  • Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
  • Powered by rechargeable AA batteries and built-in solar panel


Important Information

Compatible with contact closures, such as tipping-bucket rain gauges or reed switches. A complete system requires at least one HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager, and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor, OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (which has an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added to extend the range.
