HOBOnet Pulse Input - Electronic Switch Sensor

Onset

New

A HOBOnet wireless pulse input sensor that connects to sensors with a pulse output; compatible with electronic switch closures, such as FET or open-collector outputs, or CMOS-level logic signals.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Compatible with electronic switch closures, such as FET or open-collector outputs, or CMOS-level logic signals. A complete system requires at least one HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager, and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor, OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (which has an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added to extend the range.

A wireless pulse input sensor that connects to sensors with a pulse output. This sensor is compatible with electronic switch closures, such as FET or open-collector outputs, or CMOS-level logic signals. HOBOnet wireless sensors communicate data directly to the HOBO RX3000 or the HOBO MicroRX station, or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station. They are preconfigured and ready to deploy, and data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.
