  • Transmission range - HOBOnodes to receiver or repeater: 300m (1000') range with clear line-of-sight. Any obstructions such as vegetation ro walls will reduce range significantally.
  • Wireless Data Standard - IEEE 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz ISM band (license free worldwide) - Click here for local RF Regulation Compliance
  • Environmental rating - HOBOnodes: NEMA 6P, IP68; temperature sensor probe is rated for 1-year immersion in freshwater ≤ 50° C (122° F)
  • Operating range- standard range: -20° to +50°C (-4° to 122°F) with optional lithium batteries: -40° to +50°C (-40° to 122°F)
  • Setup/Installation:
    • recommend 8' x 1-1/4", schedule 40 PVC pipe for mounting (purchase through local building supply store)
    • for windy locations we also recommend our Guy Wire Kit (M-GWK) and ½" Stake Kit (M-SKA)
