HOBOnet PAR Sensor
A complete system requires at least one HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager (RXMOD-RXW-xxx), and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor, OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (which has an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RX-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added to extend the range.
Overview
The HOBOnet Wireless Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) Sensor measures light intensity for frequencies relevant to photosynthesis. HOBOnet Wireless Sensors communicate data directly to the HOBO RX3000 or the HOBO MicroRX station or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station. They are preconfigured and ready to deploy, and data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud-based software platform.
Sensor Features
- Measurement range of 0 to 2500 umol/m2/sec over wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm
- Enclosed in an anodized aluminum housing with acrylic diffuser
Wireless Features
