HOBO U30 Wi-Fi Data Logger - U30-WIF
The HOBO U30-GSM is a web-based, 15-channel data logging system for a broad range of energy and weather monitoring applications. The system transmits data to the web via WiFi communications for easy access from internet-enabled devices. In addition, alarms can be configured to generate text messages and emails when data goes out of range.
Key advantages:
- Web-based data access via Wi-Fi communications
- Plug-and-play smart sensors enable rapid deployment
- Double weatherproof, tamperproof enclosure for harsh environments
- Alarm capabilities via text, e-mail
- Optional analog inputs with sensor excitation
- HOBOlink for viewing data and system configuration via the web
- Scheduled data delivery from HOBOlink to email or FTP
- 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.
Note: The GSM radio module will not communicate below -30°C (-22°F)
Sensor Inputs: 5 standard; option to expand to 10
Smart Sensor Compatibility: Compatible with most Onset smart sensors
Data Channels: Maximum of 15 (some sensors use more than one data channel)
Input Range: User-configurable: 0–20 mA DC, 0-2.5 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, or 0–20 VDC
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

Logging Interval: 1 second to 18 hours, user-specified interval
Battery Type: 4 Volt, 10 AHr Rechargeable sealed lead-acid
Rechargeable Battery Service Life: Typical 3–5 years depending upon conditions of use. Operation within the extended operating range (but outside the normal range) will reduce battery service life.
Time Accuracy: 0 to 2 seconds for the first data point and ±5 seconds per week at 25°C (77°F)
Environmental Rating: Weatherproof enclosure, tested to NEMA 6. (Requires proper installation of cable channel system)
Mounting: 3.8 cm (1.5 inch) mast or wall mount
Enclosure Access: Hinged door secured by two latches with eyelets for securing with user-supplied padlocks
Alarm Notification Latency: Logging interval plus 2–4 minutes (typical). Onset is not responsible for failed connections or undelivered mail/text messages.
Alarm Output Relay: One relay contact closure can be configured as normally open, normally closed, or pulsed.
Voltage: t30 V Current: 1 amp max.
Sensor Network Cable Length: 100 m (328 ft) maximum
External Power: External power is required. The system optionally accepts the following Onset solar panels:
- SOLAR-1.2W
- SOLAR-3W
- SOLAR-6W
Alternatively it accepts an AC power adapter:
- AC-U30
