Overview
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 Micro RX2105/RX2106 station, the core component of the HOBOnet remote monitoring system.

HOBOnet is a cost-effective, scalable, user-friendly wireless sensor network that lets you streamline data retrieval by effortlessly monitoring multiple wells with a single cellular device. Data is accessed from anywhere, at any time, through the customizable dashboard in HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform – eliminating the need for frequent site visits that are both time-consuming and costly. HOBOlink also sends automatic, real-time text/email notifications to alert you of any sensor or system alarms, providing the insights you need to make informed decisions, react quickly to stay ahead of issues, and ensure compliance.

Other Benefits:

  • User-friendly setup process
  • A proven water level sensor for accurate, reliable readings
  • Rechargeable batteries and built-in solar panel eliminate downtime
  • Real-time insights via customised dashboards in HOBOlink, leaving delays in the past
  • No data loss due to user error, with temperature-compensated pressure readings for accurate, reliable information
  • HOBOlink cloud dashboards for in-depth data analysis and smarter decision-making
  • Kevlar-reinforced cable with integrated strain relief mechanism.

Key Features

Sensor Features

  • Non-vented design reduces maintenance
  • Durable, ceramic sensor can withstand freezing
  • 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate

Wireless Features

  • Sub-GHz wireless mesh self-healing technology for expansive coverage
  • 450 to 600 meter (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
  • Up to 50 wireless sensors or 336 data channels per one HOBO RX station
  • Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
  • Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
  • Powered by rechargeable AA batteries and built-in solar panel.

IMPORTANT
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 Micro RX2105/RX2106 Station with an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager). HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-868 or RXW-RPTR-B-868) 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.
