The compact and rugged HOBO RX2100 MicroRX Station is an easy-to-deploy, 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-and-play sensors, and can be ordered with an additional water level sensor input with integrated flow conversion. Configurable station-side alarms trigger immediate notifications of critical conditions, and Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink platform makes it easy to view, access, and share data.

| Battery Life |
RX2102, RX2104 and RX2106 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
- RX2106: 3 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.
RX2105 Battery Life:
Runs continuously with the included AC adapter. Batteries can be used as a backup to AC power; battery life of 3 months with 1 minute logging and daily connections or 2 months with 1 minute logging and hourly connections, and with approximately 10 motes. Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life. |
