IMPORTANT: HOBO data loggers require HOBOware software (USB interface cable included w/CD purchase). See compatible items below.

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

Measurements:

Weather: Barometric Pressure, Leaf Wetness, Light Intensity, PAR, Pulse Input, Rainfall See more

Energy: AC Current, AC Voltage, Air Velocity, Amp Hour (Ah), Carbon Dioxide, Compressed Air Flow See more

Starting at $418
