Unlock Accurate Growing Insights with Wireless Leaf Wetness Sensor

A wireless sensor that provides accurate leaf wetness data for a variety of growing and research applications; ready to use, requires no painting or coating.

Provides accurate leaf wetness data for a variety of growing and research applications. This preconfigured, ready-to deploy sensor requires no painting or coating, uses a capacitive grid that is less sensitive to surface residues than resistive grid-based sensors, and comes preconditioned for long-term stability and consistent measurements between sensors.

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. Data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.

Important Information

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.

Sensor Features

Does not require any painting or coating
Preconditioned for consistent measurements
3-meter cable and mounting bracket included

Wireless Features

900 MHz wireless mesh self-healing technology
450 to 600 meter (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
Up to 50 wireless sensors or 336 data channels per HOBO RX station
Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
Powered by rechargeable AA batteries and built-in solar panel

Note 1 Given the nature of the sensor design and sensor operating frequency, the system has inherent susceptibilities to Radio Frequency signals. The repeatability specification when subjected to certain RFI environments, such as those outlined in IEC 61000-4-3 and IEC 61000-4-6, may be significantly reduced.
The system level repeatability will be particularly affected when placed in an electric field of 3 V/m or greater in the 150 KHz to 1000 MHz range. RFI mitigation practices and physical deployment changes may reduce the system susceptibility. If deployments are planned in high RFI energy environments, Onset recommends on-site testing to determine system level repeatability.
