HOBOnet Water Level Sensor Interface

A wireless sensor interface that works with the HOBOnet system for remote water level monitoring.

$300.00 USD
The HOBOnet water level sensor interface features a pre-configured, easily deployed wireless sensor that communicates accurate, reliable water level data directly to a HOBO RX3000 or HOBO MicroRX station, the core component of the HOBOnet remote monitoring system.

Important Information

A complete system requires at least one HOBOnet Water Level Sensor, a direct read cable, and a HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station and HOBOnet Wireless Manager (or a HOBO MicroRX Station with  an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager). HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added to extend the range.

Water Level Sensor

See referenced below
* Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, & a stable temp environment. System Water Level Accuracy equals the sum of the Barometric Water Level Accuracy plus the selected sensor end Water Level Accuracy.
** Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
***Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Can be up to 0.5% of additional error due to rapid temperature changes. Measurement accuracy also depends on temperature response time.
