HOBO® RX2100-WL Data Logger

MicroRX Water Level Station

The award-winning HOBO MicroRX Water Level Station is a

cellular, web-enabled water level monitoring solution for stormwater,
floodwater, irrigation, hydrologic, and environmental applications.
Pre-programmed water flow formulas for select weirs, flumes, and a
stage discharge table result in an easy and intuitive configuration.

New water flow and accumulated rainfall calculations, which are

performed directly on the station at time of measurement, trigger
immediate notifications of critical water level conditions.

The compact and durable station, together with the non-vented

water level sensor, enables harsh condition deployments and
reliable monitoring. The optional integrated solar panel or battery
power, with a wide range of plug-and-play smart sensors, supports
flexible environmental monitoring.

Station-side alarms for water flow and accumulated rainfall triggered at time of measurement
Non-vented ceramic water level sensor with a choice of four ranges
Interchangeable, Kevlar-reinforced water level sensor cables
Integrated barometric pressure sensor
Compact IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure

The User Model row suggests some guidelines for using the Processor Speed and Memory table:

User Model 1 - Using HOBO Data loggers only, no data nodes - traditional desktop user
User Model 2 - Using HOBO Data loggers and up to 5 data nodes, 20 sensors
User Model 3 - Using HOBO Data loggers and up to 50 data nodes, 100 sensors
User Model 4 - Using HOBO Data loggers and up to 100 data nodes, 200 sensors

* Disk Space - Defining the disk space requirements for HOBOware depends on the proposed use. The table above
describes the disk space needed for a traditional desktop user, allowing for installation of the program and storage of data
files. For users of HOBO data nodes, the space requirements depend on a variety of factors, including the number of
nodes, the number of sensors, the frequency of data sampling, the longevity of deployments, and other factors.
