HOBOnode sensors monitor temperature and soil moisture conditions and wirelessly transmit the data back to your computer.
Easy to deploy soil moisture wireless sensor
Includes bracket for convenient mounting on pole or stake
Specifications
Measurement Range:0 to 100% volumetric water content (m^3/m^3)
Accuracy - 3.1% (m^3/m^3)
Resolution - 0.07% (m^3/m^3)
Sample rate -1 reading per minute
Battery life - 1 yr typical w/o charging; 3 yrs typical w/ solar charging

Wireless Data Standard - IEEE 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz ISM band (license free worldwide) - Click here for local RF Regulation Compliance
Operating Range -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F) - with optional Lithium Batteries: -40° to 50°C (-40° to 122°F) - Use optional Lithium Batteries in low-temerature and high-temperature applications.
Environmental rating - HOBOnodes and Receiver: NEMA 6P, IP68; Repeater: NEMA 4X
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)
note that the HOBOnodes should not be mounted on or near metal surfaces.
The largest, most durable airline-legal carry-on available, the 1510 Pelican case provides safe and convenient transport of your HOBO data logging equipment. Watertight, crush-proof, and dust-proof.
