±30 seconds per month in -40° to 60°C (-40° to 140°F) rangeBattery Type/Power Source RX2102 and RX2104: Integrated 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack; optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in place of integrated solar panel
RX2101 and RX2103: 6 AA 1.5 V lithium batteries or AC power adapter (P-AC-1)Battery Life RX2102 and RX2104 Battery Life: Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4° to 104°F); operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life.
Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun:
- 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than ±40°
- 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute connections in winter
Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:
- 10 minute connections year round, in full sun
- Connection rate with external solar panels may be less if deployed in partial sun
Battery life without solar recharging, with hourly connections and
1 minute logging:- RX2102: 3 months
- RX2104: 2 months
RX2101 and RX2103 Battery Life:
Battery life with daily connections:
- RX2101: 1 year with 1 minute logging
- RX2103: 1 year with 2 minute logging
Battery life with hourly connections and 1 minute logging:
- RX2101: 3 months
- RX2103: 2 months
Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life.
