HOBO U30 USB Data Logger - U30-NRC
The HOBO U30-NRC Weather Station is our most rugged data logging system that can be easily reconfigured and adapted to a wide variety of applications. Up to 15 channels of environmental data can be measured and recorded, and later analyzed with HOBOware® Pro software.
Key advantages:
- All electronics are housed within a rugged double-weatherproof, tamper-proof enclosure
- Set up is quick and easy with plug-and-play sensors
- Fast data offload via USB
- Optional analog inputs with sensor excitation
- Includes relay that can be activated on user-defined alarm conditions

Specifications
Normal operating range: -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F)
Extended operating range: -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F) - see "Rechargeable Battery service Life" for impact of operations in Extended Operating Range.
Sensor Inputs: 5 standard; option to expand to 10
Smart Sensor Compatibility: Compatible with most Onset smart sensors, except for the S-BPA, S-TMA and S-THA
Data Channels: Maximum of 15 (some sensors use more than one data channel)
Alarm Output Relay: Can be configured to be activated, deactivated or pulsed on user-defined sensor alarms. The relay can be configured as normally open or normally closed, and is rated for 30 V and 1 amp max.
Expansion Slot: One expansion slot is available for factory-installed expansion port.
Local Communication: Full Speed USB via USB mini-B connector
Size: 17.8 H x 11.7 D x 19.3 W cm (7.0 H x 4 .6 D x 7.6 W inches)
Weight: 2 kg (4 lbs 10 oz)
