U30-NRC Building QA Monitor USB

This rugged U30-NRC-SYS-C Kit Weather Station is Onset’s most durable outdoor environmental monitoring solution.

Users can easily configure the HOBO U30-NRC Weather Station to fit their application needs. Use up to 15 channels to collect environmental data and then upload to HOBOware® Pro Software for expert analysis.

Key advantages:

• All electronics are housed within a rugged double-weatherproof, tamper-proof enclosure
• Set up is quick and easy with plug-and-play sensors
• Fast data offload via USB
• Optional analog inputs with sensor excitation
• Includes relay that can be activated on user-defined alarm conditions

Possible Measurements:

Normal operating range: -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F)

Extended operating range: -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F) - see 'Rechargeable Battery service Life' for impact of operations in Extended Operating Range.

Sensor Inputs: 5 standard; option to expand to 10

Smart Sensor Compatibility: Compatible with most Onset smart sensors, except for the S-BPA, S-TMA and S-THA

Data Channels: Maximum of 15 (some sensors use more than one data channel)

Alarm Output Relay: Can be configured to be activated, deactivated or pulsed on user-defined sensor alarms. The relay can be configured as normally open or normally closed, and is rated for 30 V and 1 amp max.

Expansion Slot: One expansion slot is available for factory-installed expansion port.

Local Communication: Full Speed USB via USB mini-B connector
