RX2100 Data Logger
MicroRX Station
The compact and rugged HOBO MicroRX Station is an easy-todeploy, low-cost cellular solution for long-term, reliable field
monitoring. Two power source options are available: a solar panel
for extended deployments, and user-replaceable batteries for
flexible mounting in covered or protected locations. The station
includes inputs for up to five of Onset’s research-grade plug-andplay sensors, and can be ordered with an additional water level
sensor input with integrated flow conversion. Configurable stationside alarms trigger immediate notifications of critical conditions, and
Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink platform makes it easy to view,
access, and share data.
Supported Measurements:
Absolute Pressure, 4-20mA, AC Current, AC Voltage, Amp Hour
(Ah), Barometric Pressure, DC Voltage, Evapotranspiration,
Kilowatt Hours (kWh), Leaf Wetness, Light Intensity, PAR, Power
Factor (PF), Pulse Input, Rainfall, Relative Humidity, Soil Moisture,
Temperature, Volt-Amp Reactive hour, Volt-Amps (VA), Water
Level, Watt Hours (Wh), Watts (W) and Wind
Key Advantages:
Compact size for easy deployment
Robust, weatherproof IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure
Two power options:
Integrated 1.7W solar panel with rechargeable battery pack
User-replaceable AA lithium batteries
Inputs for five plug-and-play smart sensors
Optional water level sensor input (RX2103 and RX2104 only)
Built-in LCD confirms proper setup and operation
Integrated mounting tabs for use with screws, zip ties, or U-bolts
Station-side alarms, including water flow and accumulated rainfall
Up to 10-minute connection rates via 4G cellular data plans
Cloud-based monitoring and data access through HOBOlink
5W and 15W external solar panels can be added (RX2102 or RX2104 only)

RX2101 and RX2103: -40° to 60°C (-40° to 140°F)
RX2102 and RX2104: -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F)
100 m (328 ft) maximum
Maximum of 15 (some smart sensors use more than one data channel; see sensor manual
for details)
±8 seconds per month in 0° to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) range;
±30 seconds per month in -40° to 60°C (-40° to 140°F) range
RX2102 and RX2104: Integrated 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack;
optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in
place of integrated solar panel
RX2101 and RX2103: 6 AA 1.5 V lithium batteries or AC power adapter (P-AC-1)
RX2102 and RX2104 Battery Life:
Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4° to 104°F);
operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life.
Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun:
• 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than ±40°
• 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute
connections in winter
Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:
• 10 minute connections year round, in full sun
• Connection rate with external solar panels may be less if deployed in partial sun
Battery life without solar recharging, with hourly connections and
1 minute logging:
• RX2102: 3 months
• RX2104: 2 months
RX2101 and RX2103 Battery Life:
Battery life with daily connections:
• RX2101: 1 year with 1 minute logging
• RX2103: 1 year with 2 minute logging
Battery life with hourly connections and 1 minute logging:
• RX2101: 3 months
• RX2103: 2 months
Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life.
Memory 16 MB, 1 million measurements, continuous logging
Alarm Notification Latency Logging interval plus 2–4 minutes, typical
Enclosure Access Hinged door secured by two latches with eyelets for use with user-supplied padlocks
